MediaTek MT6737M vs Unisoc SC9850K

Comparisons 11-03-2021

Well, which chip or processor is better? Detailed compare data of benchmarks MediaTek MT6737M vs Unisoc SC9850K, speed testing of GPUs Mali-T720 MP2 and Mali-T820.

This performance comparison includes two processors: MT6737M is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A53) and SC9850K is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A7). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A step-by-step analysis of all the technical characteristics of the SoCs, to make it easier to understand, is presented in the form of the table.

From the video comparison, you can get the results of parallel benchmarking in synthetic type tests like PCMark, Vellamo, AnTuTu 8, Octane V2, PassMark, WebXPRT 3, Mozilla Kraken, GeekBench 6, 5, Neocore, 3DMark, Quadrant, GFXBench, even the gaming performance of processors in Real Racing 3, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, PUBG, Sniper 3D, Call of Duty: Mobile, Fortnite, Mortal Kombat, Minecraft Bedrock etc.

After reading the results of joint benchmarks and videos, you already be able to know which chip is better to buy MT6737M or SC9850K and which chip is better for gaming: Madout2, Asphalt 9, Need for Speed No Limits, CSR Racing 2.
