R8500 Vs R6700v2
I'm trying to evaluate which model is best as I use the R6700 and recently acquired the R8500. Appreciate your thoughs or direction to resources to compare. Thanks.
The R8500 is also a triband device. You could try reading a few reviews on them to see how they perform.

The R8500 has a stronger/faster CPU from Broadcom and has more RAM. The R6700v2 uses a weaker MediaTek one with lesser RAM
