Spreadtrum SC5735 vs Qualcomm Snapdragon S1

Comparisons 11-03-2021

Well, which processor or chip is better? Detailed compare data of benchmarks Spreadtrum SC5735 vs Qualcomm Snapdragon S1, speed examination of GPUs Adreno 200 and Mali-400 MP2.

This performance comparison includes two processors: Spreadtrum SC5735 is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A7) and Snapdragon S1 is single-core (ARM Cortex-A9). Both processors went throughpower consumption test and battery life test. A careful review of all the technical characteristics, to make it easier to understand, is presented in the form of the table.

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

After looking at the data of joint benchmarks and videos, you can already make an informed decision about which SoCs is better to buy Spreadtrum SC5735 or Snapdragon S1 and which chip is better for gaming: Asphalt 9, Madout2, Need for Speed No Limits, CSR Racing 2.
