MediaTek MT8735M vs HiSilicon Kirin 620

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   Well, which chip or processor is better? Detailed data of benchmarks and speed tests MediaTek MT8735M vs HiSilicon Kirin 620, comparison of GPUs Mali-T720 MP2 and Mali-450 MP4.
   This performance comparison includes two processors: MT8735M is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A53) and Kirin 620 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A53). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A careful analysis of all the technical characteristics, to make it easier to understand, is presented in the form of the table.
   From the video comparison, you can get the results of joint benchmarking in special test applications like Quadrant, 3DMark, Mozilla Kraken, PassMark, GFXBench, Neocore, PCMark, Vellamo, WebXPRT 3, Geekbench, AnTuTu, Octane V2, even the gaming performance of processors in Fortnite, PUBG, Real Racing 3, Call of Duty: Mobile, Minecraft Bedrock, Sniper 3D, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Mortal Kombat 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 MT8735M or Kirin 620 and which chip is better for gaming: Need for Speed No Limits, Madout2, Asphalt 9, CSR Racing 2.
