MediaTek MT8735P vs MediaTek MT6589

Comparisons 11-03-2021

Well, which processor or chip is better? Full data of benchmarks and speed tests MediaTek MT8735P vs MediaTek MT6589, compare of GPUs Mali-T720 MP2 and PowerVR SGX544.

This performance comparison includes two processors: MT8735P is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A53) and MT6589 is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A7). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A step-by-step analysis of all the technical characteristics, so that it can be easier to read, is presented in the form of the table.

From the comparison video, you can get the results of joint benchmarking in software tests like GeekBench 6, 5, PassMark, WebXPRT 3, Neocore, Vellamo, GFXBench, Mozilla Kraken, PCMark, 3DMark, Octane V2, Quadrant, AnTuTu 8, and how good the SoCs are in games Fortnite, Mortal Kombat, Call of Duty: Mobile, Minecraft Bedrock, Sniper 3D, Real Racing 3, PUBG, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra etc.

After reading the results these benchmarks and videos, you can already make an briefed decision about which CPU is better to buy MT8735P or MT6589 and which chip is better for gaming: Asphalt 9, CSR Racing 2, Madout2, Need for Speed No Limits.
