MediaTek Dimensity 700 vs Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 5G

MediaTek Dimensity 700

The Mediatek Dimensity 700 is a fast 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). Compared to the similar Dimensity 800U, the 700 offers lower clocked CPU cores (-200 MHz) and a slower GPU (one less core).

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 700 is manufactured in the modern 7nm process and should be very power efficient.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 5G

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 5G (SM4350) is a lower mainstream SoC for (Android based) smartphones and tablets. It features eight cores in two clusters. A performance cluster with two ARM Cortex A76 cores at up to 2 GHz and a efficiency cluster with six small ARM Cortex A55 cores at up to 1.8 GHz. 

The integrated Qualcomm X51 5G modem can reach up to 2.5 Gbps (5G) / 800 Mbps (LTE) download and 660 Mbps (5G) / 210 Mbps (LTE) upload speeds. The SoC also integrates WiFi 6 2x2 and Bluetooth 5.1.

The integrated Adreno 619 GPU is over 100% faster than the old Adreno 610 in the SD 460.

The SD480 is manufactured in the modern 8nm process and should be very energy efficient.
