MediaTek MT8735B vs MediaTek MT6580A

Comparisons 11-03-2021

Well, which processor or chip is better? Full data of benchmarks and speed tests MediaTek MT8735B vs MediaTek MT6580A, comparison of GPUs Mali-400 MP2 and Mali-T720 MP2.

This performance comparison involves two processors: MT8735B is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A53) and MT6580A is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A7). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A careful analysis of all the specifications, so that it can be easier to understand, is summarized in the table.

From the video comparison, you can get the results of joint benchmarking in synthetic type tests such as Quadrant, PCMark, Vellamo, Mozilla Kraken, WebXPRT 3, AnTuTu, GFXBench, 3DMark, Neocore, PassMark, Octane V2, Geekbench, even the gaming performance of CPUs in Fortnite, Call of Duty: Mobile, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Sniper 3D, Mortal Kombat, PUBG, Minecraft Bedrock, Real Racing 3 etc.

After looking at the data of joint benchmarks and videos, you can already make an informed decision about which CPU is better to buy MT8735B or MT6580A and which chip is better for gaming: Asphalt 9, Need for Speed No Limits, Madout2, CSR Racing 2.
