Apple A11 Bionic vs MediaTek Dimensity 6080 vs MediaTek Dimensity 800
Apple A11 Bionic
► remove from comparisonThe Apple A11 Bionic is a System on a Chip (SoC) from Apple that is found in the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X. It was announced late 2017 and offers 6 cores divided in 2 performance cores and four power efficiency cores. In comparison to the A10X all 6 cores can be used at once, leading to a much higher theoretical performance. In our benchmarks the SoC however is not only faster in multi threaded tests (+77% versus A10 Fusion in Geekbench), but also in single threaded tests (+19%). Apple states 25% more performance compared to the A10 in the iPhone 7.
With 4.3 Billion transistors, the A11 Bionic is a rather big chip especially compared to the Snapdragon 835 (3 Billion) or a Skylake desktop quad-core Soc (1.75 Billion).
MediaTek Dimensity 6080
► remove from comparison
The MediaTek Dimensity 6080 (MT6833V/MT6833GP) is an ARM-based SoC (system-on-a-chip) manufactured by TSMC using the 6 nm process. It was specially designed for use in Android smartphones and is in the lower mid-range in terms of performance. It supports all current mobile communication standards, including 5G Sub6.
The SoC is identical to the MediaTek Dimensity 810 the only difference is that the Dimensity 6080 can cope with a camera resolution of up to 108 megapixels.
The CPU works with a total of eight cores, which are divided into two clusters. One has two ARM Cortex-A76 power cores with up to 2.4 GHz each, while the other has six ARM Cortex-A55 energy-saving cores with up to 2.0 GHz each. LPDDR4x RAM with 2,133 MHz can be used as RAM and UFS 2.2 is supported as internal memory.
In terms of connectivity, dual 5G (Sub6) with a theoretical peak download speed of up to 2.77 GBit/s is available, as well as Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.1.
The integrated graphics unit ARM Mali-G57 MP2 can power displays with a resolution of up to 2,520 x 1,080 pixels (Full HD+) and a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz.
MediaTek Dimensity 800
► remove from comparison
The Mediatek Dimensity 800 is a fast mid-range SoC with an integrated 5G modem. It includes four fast ARM Cortex-A76 cores at up to 2 GHz and four power efficient Cortex-A55 cores at up to 2 GHz (Octa-Core with Heterogeneous Multi-Processing). Furthermore, the chip integrates a 4 core ARM Mali-G57 MC4 GPU, a Wi-fi 5 modem, a LPDDR4x memory controller(up to 16 GB with 2133 MHz), a AI processing unit (APU 3.0) and video de- and encoding.
Compared to the similar named Dimensity 800U, the 800 offers two more big A76 cores but clocked 400 MHz lower. This means the single core performance is lower, but the multi-core performance can be better.
The Dimensity 800 is manufactured in the modern 7nm process and should be very power efficient.
