Benchmarks and Performance
You truly get what you pay for!
In the world of benchmarks, the Ugoos SK2 is classified as a low to mid-range TV box. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. While this device shines in video playback, it falls short in handling demanding games, particularly when compared to the Ugoos AM8 / Pro series. These premium or high-end models feature a more powerful Amlogic S922X-J processor, but they come with a considerably higher price tag of around $148-150.
Geekbench
In terms of CPU performance, the SK2 achieved a score of 137 in the single-core test and 488 in the multi-core test on Geekbench 5. Meanwhile, the Mali G57 GPU participated in the 3DMark Gamers Benchmark Wildlife test, recording a score of 1064 with an average frame rate of 4-6.37, which is quite disappointing.
Which option stands out as the best choice for graphics and gaming?
The SK2 is equipped with the ARM Mali-G57MC1 GPU, while the SK1 boasts the more advanced ARM Mali-G57MC2m, featuring a higher-end dual-core processor. Despite this, their performance diverges notably due to their differing CPU architectures. If your main focus is gaming and resource-intensive tasks, the high-end SK1 is undoubtedly the better choice. On the other hand, the SK2 excels in streaming and casual usage, making it perfect for those purposes.
