MediaTek Dimensity 7300 vs Qualcomm Snapdragon 685 4G
MediaTek Dimensity 7300
► remove from comparison
The MediaTek Dimensity 7300 is an ARM-based mid-range SoC for (mostly Android based) smartphones. The integrated CPU is divided into two clusters with four larger ARM Cortex-A78 cores with up to 2.5 GHz clock speed and an efficiency cluster with four ARM Cortex-A55 cores with up to 2 GHz.
In addition to the integrated ARM Mali-G615 MC2 iGPU, the 7300 also offers a MediaTek APU 655 for AI tasks. Furthermore, a 5G multi-mode modem is installed (2G - 5G) with up to 3.27 Gbps download speed. In addition to Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4 is also supported.
The chip is manufactured using the modern 4nm process and is advertised to consume 25% less power compared to the older Dimensity 7050.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 685 4G
► remove from comparison
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 685 (SD685, SM6225-AD) is a mid-range ARM-based SoC largely found on Android tablets and smartphones. It features 8 Kryo 265 cores (custom design, 64-Bit capable) that are divided in two clusters. A fast cluster of four cores with up to 2.8 GHz (Kryo 265 Gold - Cortex-A73 derivate) and a power saving efficiency cluster with up to 1.9 GHz (Kryo 265 Silver - Cortex A53 derivate). Both clusters can also be used together. According to Qualcomm the SD685 is around 15% more CPU performance and 10% more GPU performance compared to the old SD680 (thanks to higher clock speeds).
In addition to the 8 CPU cores, the SoC integrates a mid range Adreno 610 GPU with a LPDDR4 memory controller (dual-channel) and supports Wi-Fi (802.11ac + MIMO, max. 867 Mbps), Bluetooth 5, and LTE (X11 LTE modem with up to 390 Mbps download).
The SoC is produced in 6nm.
