MediaTek MT8783 vs Unisoc SC9850K

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   Well, which processor or chip is better? Full comparison data of benchmarks MediaTek MT8783 vs Unisoc SC9850K, speed testing of GPUs Mali-T720 MP3 and Mali-T820.
   This performance comparison includes two processors: MT8783 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A53) and SC9850K is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A7). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A careful review of all the technical characteristics, to make it easier to read, is made by the table.
   From the video comparison, you can get the results of parallel benchmarking in software tests such as AnTuTu 8, Mozilla Kraken, Neocore, GFXBench, PassMark, Octane V2, Vellamo, Quadrant, 3DMark, WebXPRT 3, PCMark, Geekbench, and how good the processors are in games Sniper 3D, Call of Duty: Mobile, Minecraft Bedrock, Fortnite, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Mortal Kombat, Real Racing 3, PUBG etc.
   After looking at the data of parallel benchmarks and videos, you can already make an briefed decision about which processors is better to buy MT8783 or SC9850K and which chip is better for gaming: CSR Racing 2, Need for Speed No Limits, Asphalt 9, Madout2.
