MediaTek Dimensity 7030 vs Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 Plus 5G
MediaTek Dimensity 7030
► remove from comparison
The Mediatek Dimensity 7030 is a mid-range ARM SoC (system-on-a-chip) that can be used in both smartphones and tablets (mainly Android). The SoC was introduced in September 2023.
It includes a 5G modem and supports the latest mobile phone standards in dual-SIM mode with both cards, so that surfing and phoning is possible via two different cards at the same time. The SoC integrates two ARM Cortex A78 cores with up to 2.5 GHz for demanding tasks and six low-power ARM Cortex A55 cores with clock speeds of up to 2 GHz.
The chip has an integrated sub-6 GHz and mmWave 5G modem including dual-SIM support that can reach a maximum download speed of up to 4.6 Gbps. Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) is supported as well as Bluetooth 5.2.
The memory controller can cope with LPDDR4x or LPDDR5 working memory as well as UFS 3.1 mass storage. As an integrated graphics card, the SoC uses the Mali-G610 MP3, which supports displays with 144 Hz as well as HDR10+ Adaptive, HLG and Dolby Vision at a maximum resolution of 2,520 x 1,080 pixels.
Compared to the Dimensity 920, the CPU unit has the same clock speeds but a more modern instruction set, ARMv8.2-A. A new graphics unit is used and WiFi 6E is supported, as well as displays with up to 144 Hz.
The SoC is manufactured in a 6nm process.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 Plus 5G
► remove from comparison
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 Plus 5G (SM4350-AC) 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 2.2 GHz and a efficiency cluster with six small ARM Cortex A55 cores at up to 1.8 GHz. Compared to the older SD 480 5G, the 480+ offers 200 MHz higher clocked A76 cores.
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.
