MediaTek MT6580A vs Unisoc SC9832E

Comparisons 11-03-2021

So, which chip or processor is better? Full comparison data of benchmarks MediaTek MT6580A vs Unisoc SC9832E, speed examination of GPUs Mali-400 MP2 and Mali-T820.

This performance comparison includes two processors: MT6580A is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A7) and SC9832E is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A53). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A careful review of all the specifications, so that it can be easier to read, is summarized in the table.

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

After looking at the data of parallel benchmarks and videos, you already be able to understand which processors is better to buy MT6580A or SC9832E and which chip is better for gaming: Need for Speed No Limits, Madout2, CSR Racing 2, Asphalt 9.
