MediaTek MT8783 vs Intel Atom Z3560

Comparisons 11-03-2021

Well, which processor or chip is better? Full data of speed tests and benchmarks MediaTek MT8783 vs Intel Atom Z3560, compare of GPUs PowerVR G6430 and Mali-T720 MP3.

This performance comparison involves two processors: MT8783 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A53) and Atom Z3560 is quad-core (Moorefield). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A step-by-step analysis of all the specifications, so that it can be easier to read, is presented in the form of the table.

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

After looking at the data these benchmarks and videos, you can already make an briefed decision about which chipset is better to buy MT8783 or Atom Z3560 and which chip is better for gaming: Asphalt 9, CSR Racing 2, Madout2, Need for Speed No Limits.
