Qualcomm 205 vs Unisoc SC9850K

Comparisons 11-03-2021

So, which chip or processor is better? Comprehensive data of speed tests and benchmarks Qualcomm 205 vs Unisoc SC9850K, comparison of GPUs Mali-T820 and Adreno 304.

This performance comparison involves two processors: Qualcomm 205 is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A7) and SC9850K is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A7). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A careful analysis of all the specifications, so that it can be easier to read, is summarized in the table.

From the comparison video, you can get the results of joint benchmarking in software tests such as Quadrant, Octane V2, WebXPRT 3, Mozilla Kraken, Geekbench, PCMark, Vellamo, PassMark, GFXBench, AnTuTu, 3DMark, Neocore, and how good the processors are in games Call of Duty: Mobile, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Sniper 3D, Mortal Kombat, Real Racing 3, Fortnite, PUBG, Minecraft Bedrock etc.

After reading the results of joint benchmarks and videos, you already be able to know which processors is better to buy Qualcomm 205 or SC9850K and which chip is better for gaming: CSR Racing 2, Need for Speed No Limits, Asphalt 9, Madout2.
