Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 vs HiSilicon Kirin 920

Qualcomm Snapdragon 625

► remove from comparison Qualcomm 625

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 (SD625) is a mid-range octa-core SoC with eight ARM Cortex-A53 cpu cores at up to 2 GHz, an Adreno 506 GPU, a DDR3L-1866 memory controller and a X9 LTE (Cat 7, 4G+, 300 Mbps down, 150 Mbps up) modem. Furthermore, the chip supports 802.11ac WiFi and Bluetooth 4.1. It is manufactured in 14nm FinFet. The processor performance should be similar to a HiSilicon Kirin 650, which also offers 8 Cortex A53 cores at up to 2 GHz. However, due to the modern manufacturing process, power consumption and throttling should be better with the Snapdragon 625.

HiSilicon Kirin 920

► remove from comparison

The HiSilicon Kirin 920 is an ARM-based octa-core SoC (system-on-a-chip) for smartphones and tablets. It was launched in the second half of 2014 alongside and features four Cortex-A15 cores clocked at up to 1.7 GHz. Furthermore, there are four additional Cortex-A7 cores to save power, an ARM Mali-T628 MP4 GPU and a 2x 32 bit LPDDR3 memory controller. The integrated LTE Cat. 6 modem provides download speeds of up to 300 Mbps.
