Unisoc SC9850K vs Qualcomm 215

Comparisons   11-03-2021
   Well, which chip or processor is better? Detailed compare data of benchmarks Unisoc SC9850K vs Qualcomm 215, speed examination of GPUs Mali-T820 and Adreno 308.
   This performance comparison involves two processors: SC9850K is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A7) and Qualcomm 215 is quad-core (ARM Cortex-A53). Both processors went through battery life test and power consumption test. A step-by-step analysis of all the specifications of the CPUs, to make it easier to read, is summarized in the table.
   From the comparison video, you can get the results of parallel benchmarking in special testing software like AnTuTu, 3DMark, PassMark, Octane V2, GFXBench, PCMark, WebXPRT 3, Quadrant, Mozilla Kraken, GeekBench 6, 5, Vellamo, Neocore, even the gaming performance of CPUs in Garena Free Fire - The Cobra, Fortnite, Mortal Kombat, Minecraft Bedrock, Call of Duty: Mobile, Real Racing 3, PUBG, Sniper 3D etc.
   After looking at the data these benchmarks and videos, you already be able to understand which SoCs is better to buy SC9850K or Qualcomm 215 and which chip is better for gaming: CSR Racing 2, Need for Speed No Limits, Madout2, Asphalt 9.
