Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 vs MediaTek MT6580P

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   Well, which chip or processor is better? Full compare data of benchmarks Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 vs MediaTek MT6580P, speed testing of GPUs Adreno 200 and Mali-400 MP2.
   This performance comparison includes two processors: Snapdragon S1 is single-core (ARM Cortex-A9) and MT6580P is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A7). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A step-by-step analysis of all the specifications, so that it can be easier to read, is made by the table.
   From the video comparison, you can get the results of joint benchmarking in synthetic type tests like Mozilla Kraken, PCMark, Quadrant, 3DMark, Neocore, WebXPRT 3, GFXBench, Octane V2, GeekBench 6, 5, PassMark, AnTuTu 8, Vellamo, and how good the CPUs are in games Fortnite, Mortal Kombat, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Real Racing 3, Call of Duty: Mobile, Minecraft Bedrock, PUBG, Sniper 3D etc.
   After looking at the data of parallel benchmarks and videos, you already be able to figure out which processors is better to buy Snapdragon S1 or MT6580P and which chip is better for gaming: CSR Racing 2, Madout2, Asphalt 9, Need for Speed No Limits.
