MediaTek Dimensity 900 vs Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 vs MediaTek MT8188J

MediaTek Dimensity 900

► remove from comparison Mediatek Dimensity 900

The Mediatek Dimensity 900 is a fast mid-range SoC with an integrated 5G modem. It includes two fast ARM Cortex-A78 cores at up to 2.4 GHz and six 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-G68 MC4 GPU, a Wi-fi 6 modem, a LPDDR4x memory controller, a AI processing unit  and video de- and encoding.

The Dimensity 900 is manufactured in the modern 6nm process and should be very power efficient.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1

► remove from comparison Qualcomm SD 6 Gen 1

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 (SM6450) mobile platform was designed for Android-based smartphones and tablets and was launched in September 2022. The SoC (system-on-a-chip) is in the entry-level class and is based on ARM's v9 architecture.

The cryo CPU of the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 is based on four ARM Cortex-A78 performance cores with clock frequencies of up to 2.2 GHz and an efficiency cluster consisting of four Cortex-A55 cores with a clock frequency of 1.8 GHz.

An Adreno 710 is used as the integrated graphics unit. The Soc also integrates a Spectra ISP (200 MP photo), a dual-channel 16-bit LPDDR 2750 MHz memory controller, an X62 5G modem (max 2.9 GBit/s download, 1.6 Gbit/s upload), a Fastconnect 6700 Wi-Fi 6E / Bluetooth 5.2 modem and Hexagon.

The SoC is manufactured in the modern 4 nm process at Samsung.

MediaTek MT8188J

► remove from comparison Mediatek MT8188J

The MediaTek MT8188J is a mid-range ARM SoC (System-on-a-Chip) introduced in the first quarter of 2023, primarily used in Android-based tablets. It is manufactured using a 12-nanometer process and features a total of eight CPU cores (Octa-Core). These consist of two fast Cortex-A78 cores and 6 Cortex-A55 cores that work together in a big.LITTLE configuration.

The A78 cores of the MediaTek MT8188J can clock at speeds of up to 2.2 GHz, while the A55 cores can reach speeds of up to 2 GHz (going down to 500 MHz). For graphics processing, it employs an ARM Mali-G57 MP2 GPU. Additionally, it includes a video decoder with support for H.264 and H.265.

In addition to the CPU and GPU, the chip integrates an LPDDR4 memory controller, capable of supporting up to 8 GB of RAM. The SoC also includes a modem for WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, and LTE up to Cat.7.
