Qualcomm QCS2290 vs Unisoc SC9853I

Comparisons 18-02-2023

Detailed comparison data of Qualcomm QCS2290 vs Unisoc SC9853I, testing of graphics chips (GPU). A step-by-step analysis of all the specifications, so that it can be easier to read, is made by the table. From the video comparison, you can get the results of joint testing in synthetic type tests such as PCMark, Geekbench, 3DMark, AnTuTu, GFXBench, Vellamo, PassMark, Neocore, Quadrant, and how good the chipsets are in games Call of Duty, PUBG, Asphalt 9, Minecraft, Fortnite, GTA, Madout2 etc.
After looking at the data of parallel tests and videos, you can already make an briefed decision about which processors is better to buy QCS2290 or SC9853I.
