MediaTek MT8768T vs HiSilicon Kirin 950

Comparisons 11-03-2021

So, which chip or processor is better? Full data of speed tests and benchmarks MediaTek MT8768T vs HiSilicon Kirin 950, compare of GPUs Mali-T880 MP4 and PowerVR GE8320.

This performance comparison includes two processors: MT8768T is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A53) and Kirin 950 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A72). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A careful review of all the specifications, so that it can be easier to read, is made by the table.

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

After reading the results of joint benchmarks and videos, you can already make an informed decision about which SoCs is better to buy MT8768T or Kirin 950 and which chip is better for gaming: Madout2, CSR Racing 2, Asphalt 9, Need for Speed No Limits.
