MediaTek Dimensity 820 vs MediaTek Dimensity 6100+

MediaTek Dimensity 820

The Mediatek Dimensity 820 is a fast mid-range SoC with an integrated 5G modem. It includes four fast ARM Cortex-A76 cores at up to 2.6 GHz and four power efficient Cortex-A55 cores at up to 2 GHz (Octa-Core with Heterogeneous Multi-Processing). Furthermore, the chip integrates a 5 core ARM Mali-G57 MC5 GPU, a Wi-fi 5 modem, a LPDDR4x memory controller, a AI processing unit (APU 3.0) and video de- and encoding. The Dimensity 820 is manufactured in the modern 7nm process and should be very power efficient.

MediaTek Dimensity 6100+

The Mediatek Dimensity 6100+ (or 6100 Plus, MT6835V/ZA) is a lower mid-range SoC with an integrated 5G modem. It includes two fast ARM Cortex-A76 cores at up to 2.2 GHz and six power efficient Cortex-A55 cores at up to 2 GHz (Octa-Core with Heterogeneous Multi-Processing). The specifications are similar to the old Dimensity 700 SoC and nearly identical to the Dimensity 6020. Compared to the 6020, the 6100+ offers slightly higher 5 G speeds (3.3 vs 2.7 Gbps), Bluetooth 5.2 (vs 5.1) support, and is manufactured in the slightly improved 6nm process (vs 7nm).

Furthermore, the chip integrates a 2 core ARM Mali-G57 MC2 GPU, a Wi-fi 5 modem, a LPDDR4x-2133 memory controller, a AI processing unit (APU 3.0) and video de- and encoding.
