Unisoc SC9832E vs HiSilicon Kirin 930

Comparisons 11-03-2021

Well, which processor or chip is better? Detailed compare data of benchmarks Unisoc SC9832E vs HiSilicon Kirin 930, speed examination of GPUs Mali-T820 and Mali-T628 MP6.

This performance comparison involves two processors: SC9832E is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A53) and Kirin 930 is octa-core (ARM Cortex-A53). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A thorough analysis of all the specifications, so that it can be easier to understand, is summarized in the table.

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

After looking at the data these benchmarks and videos, you already be able to understand which SoCs is better to buy SC9832E or Kirin 930 and which chip is better for gaming: CSR Racing 2, Madout2, Asphalt 9, Need for Speed No Limits.
