MediaTek Dimensity 6020 vs Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 vs MediaTek Dimensity 820

MediaTek Dimensity 6020

The Mediatek Dimensity 6020 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.

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.

The Dimensity 6020 is manufactured in the older 7nm process like the Dimensity 700.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 1

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 (SM4375) is a mid-range ARM-based SoC largely found on Android tablets and smartphones. It features 8 Kryo cores, which are 64-bit capable and divided into two clusters. A fast cluster of two cores with up to 2 GHz based on the ARM Cortex-A78 design. And a power saving efficiency cluster with up to 1.8 GHz based on much smaller ARM Cortex-A55 cores. Both clusters can also be used together. The SD 4 Gen1 is similar to the older Snapdragon 695 but with lower clock rates.

In addition to the 8 CPU cores, the SoC integrates a lower mid range Adreno 619 GPU, a X51 5G radio (up to 2.5 Gbits download, no mmWave), a 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5, 8x8 sounding, Dual Band, 2x2), a Bluetooth 5.2 radio, satellite positioning (GPS, QZSS, GLONASS, SBAS, Beidou and Galileo) and a video engine (support for H.265, H.264, VP8 and VP9).

The Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 is manufactured in the current 6nm process (high end SoCs use 4nm) at TSMC (6N).

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.
