MediaTek MT8735B vs MediaTek MT8312

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   Well, which processor or chip is better? Detailed data of benchmarks and speed tests MediaTek MT8735B vs MediaTek MT8312, comparison of GPUs Mali-400 and Mali-T720 MP2.
   This performance comparison involves two processors: MT8735B is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A53) and MT8312 is dual-core (ARM Cortex-A7). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A careful analysis of all the technical characteristics, to make it easier to understand, is summarized in the table.
   From the video comparison, you can get the results of joint benchmarking in special testing software like Geekbench, PCMark, Quadrant, GFXBench, Mozilla Kraken, AnTuTu 8, WebXPRT 3, Octane V2, Neocore, PassMark, 3DMark, Vellamo, and how good the processors are in games Real Racing 3, Call of Duty: Mobile, Minecraft Bedrock, Sniper 3D, Mortal Kombat, Fortnite, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, PUBG etc.
   After reading the results these benchmarks and videos, you can already make an briefed decision about which SoCs is better to buy MT8735B or MT8312 and which chip is better for gaming: Need for Speed No Limits, Asphalt 9, Madout2, CSR Racing 2.
