Qualcomm Snapdragon 439 vs Intel Atom x5-Z8350

Comparisons 11-03-2021

So, which chip or processor is better? Comprehensive data of benchmarks and speed tests Qualcomm Snapdragon 439 vs Intel Atom x5-Z8350, compare of GPUs Adreno 505 and Intel HD Graphics (Cherry Trail).

This performance comparison involves two processors: Snapdragon 439 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A53) and Atom x5-Z8350 is quad-core (SoFIA). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A careful analysis of all the technical characteristics, so that it can be easier to read, is made by the table.

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

After reading the results of all benchmarks and videos, you already be able to figure out which chip is better to buy Snapdragon 439 or Atom x5-Z8350 and which chip is better for gaming: Need for Speed No Limits, Madout2, Asphalt 9, CSR Racing 2.
