Kirin vs SnapDragon | Which one is the better pick?

   

The Comparison

Note that here we are taking Snapdragon 625 and Kirin 655 for the conclusion and documentation purposes. The 625 is based on the 14nm processor and 655 on 16nm. Smaller the no. is better the battery life and efficiency will be, hence the 625 will lead to a better battery life (slightly better) than the device with 655. Also, the 625 has Adreno 506 GPU which has more GFlops than the mali t830 GPU in the 655. This makes the GPU on 625 better.
Now, the number of cores remain same here i.e 8, although the clock speed varies. Yet both will perform almost the same in day to day usage with a noticeable difference in heavy graphics demanding tasks with 655 slowing down a bit.
Talking about the flagship SOCs’, Qualcomm and HiSilicon (Kirin SOC’s) both manufactures powerful processors with 835 being the flagship from Qualcomm and Kirin 960 from HiSilicon. Both perform extremely well and the GPU on both are beastly powerful, however, 835 is based on the 10nm process whereas the 960 is based on the 16nm.
(So, the efficiency is better with 835 than the 960.)
Overall, the Snapdragon SOCs’ are better when compared between Kirin and Snapdragon. (without taking anything else like manufacturing costs etc into account). Just only when compared fairly with 600 and 800 series we can spot a clear winner here. However, Huawei’s devices are well optimized and their SOC’s are not so far behind. Both the manufacturers are coming up with new SoC’s from time to time to up their game.

Which is better?

In the face-off between the Kirin and the Snapdragon SoC’s, the Snapdragon SoC’s is definitely ahead of Kirin SoC’s. The primary reason as discussed already, i.e the GPU equipped is being Adreno which is of Qualcomm. Also, it has a higher number of GFlops and has better processing capacity. Thereby making heavy tasks and intensive gaming like a breeze on those devices. So big games like PUBG, Asphalt, Vainglory and other heavy games will run like a butter on a hot knife. Especially killing the very hdr plus option in the graphics settings yet to come in future updates.
whats you think?
