Snapdragon 660 is good. Snapdragon 660 and Kirin 710 have different manufacturing process, different CPU main frequency and different GPU. Kirin 710 is a scary technology GPU Turbo plus, can make up for the lack of GPU hardware, the gaming experience is equally promising, there is also a financial level of security, in the chip security compared to the Snapdragon 660 has some advantages. On the whole, although Kirin 710 can't benchmark Qualcomm's Snapdragon 710 this year, it still has no problem benchmarking last year's Snapdragon 660.
The specific differences are as follows:
1, the manufacturing process is different
Kirin 710 adopts a more advanced 12nm process, while the Snapdragon 660 uses a 14nm process. Obviously, the Kirin 710 process is more advanced and has a low-power advantage. The advantages of the Kirin 710 versus the Snapdragon 660 are undoubtedly overwhelming. Support for LTE Cat.12/13, Dual SIM Dual 4G Dual VoLTE, Kirin will be stronger in localization support, the P60's LTE Cat.7 is just not comparable.
2, CPU frequency is different
Kirin 710 and Snapdragon 660 CPU specifications are in fact very close to the big core are 4 A73, the main frequency is 2.2Ghz, the only difference is that the small core main frequency subtle differences. Kirin 710 is only equipped with Mali-G51. hardware performance level, the P60's Mail-G72 and Snapdragon 660's Adreno 512 is much stronger, of course, power consumption is naturally much higher.
3, GPU different
Kirin 710 integrated Mali-G51 graphics core, while the Snapdragon 660 integrated Adreno 512 graphics core, Snapdragon 660 will be significantly stronger than the Kirin 710. Kirin 710 is only equipped with Mali-G51. Hardware performance, the P60's Mail-G72 and the Snapdragon 660 Adreno 512 much stronger. In terms of hardware performance, the P60's Mail-G72 and Snapdragon 660's Adreno 512 are much stronger, and naturally consume a lot more power. However, Kirin 710 natively supports GPU Turbo technology, how the gaming experience remains to be seen.
