Unisoc SC9850K vs MediaTek MT6739

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   Well, which processor or chip is better? Comprehensive comparison data of benchmarks Unisoc SC9850K vs MediaTek MT6739, speed testing of GPUs PowerVR GE8100 and Mali-T820.
   This performance comparison involves two processors: SC9850K is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A7) and MT6739 is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A53). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A thorough analysis of all the technical characteristics of the chips, so that it can be easier to understand, is made by the table.
   From the video comparison, you can get the results of joint benchmarking in synthetic type tests like AnTuTu, PCMark, PassMark, 3DMark, Quadrant, GeekBench 6, 5, GFXBench, Vellamo, Mozilla Kraken, WebXPRT 3, Neocore, Octane V2, and how good the SoCs are in games PUBG, Call of Duty: Mobile, Minecraft Bedrock, Fortnite, Sniper 3D, Mortal Kombat, Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Real Racing 3 etc.
   After looking at the data these benchmarks and videos, you can already make an informed decision about which chip is better to buy SC9850K or MT6739 and which chip is better for gaming: Asphalt 9, Madout2, Need for Speed No Limits, CSR Racing 2.
