Qualcomm Snapdragon 678 vs Unisoc Tiger T618

Comparisons 11-03-2021

Well, which chip or processor is better? Detailed data of speed tests and benchmarks Qualcomm Snapdragon 678 vs Unisoc Tiger T618, comparison of GPUs Mali-G52 MP2 and Adreno 612.

This performance comparison includes two processors: Snapdragon 678 is octa-core (Kryo 460) and Tiger T618 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A75). 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 understand, is presented in the form of the table.

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

After looking at the data of parallel benchmarks and videos, you already be able to know which processors is better to buy Snapdragon 678 or Tiger T618 and which chip is better for gaming: CSR Racing 2, Madout2, Asphalt 9, Need for Speed No Limits.
