MediaTek MT6592 vs Unisoc SC9850K

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   Well, which chip or processor is better? Comprehensive comparison data of benchmarks MediaTek MT6592 vs Unisoc SC9850K, speed examination of GPUs Mali-450 MP4 and Mali-T820.
   This performance comparison includes two processors: MT6592 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A7) and SC9850K is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A7). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A careful review of all the specifications of the CPUs, to make it easier to understand, is made by the table.
   From the video comparison, you can get the results of joint benchmarking in synthetic type tests like WebXPRT 3, Vellamo, AnTuTu 8, GFXBench, Mozilla Kraken, Neocore, PCMark, Quadrant, GeekBench 6, 5, PassMark, 3DMark, Octane V2, and how good the SoCs are in games Call of Duty: Mobile, PUBG, Minecraft Bedrock, Fortnite, Sniper 3D, Real Racing 3, Mortal Kombat, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra etc.
   After reading the results of joint benchmarks and videos, you can already make an informed decision about which CPU is better to buy MT6592 or SC9850K and which chip is better for gaming: Madout2, CSR Racing 2, Asphalt 9, Need for Speed No Limits.
