MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ vs vs Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2
MediaTek Dimensity 9000+
► remove from comparison
The MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ (or 9000 Plus) is a high-end SoC with an integrated 5G modem. It includes one fast Cortex-X2 core with up to 3 GHz, three more A710 cores with up to 2.85 GHz and four power efficiency cores (Cortex-A510) with upto 1.8 GHz. The SoC is manufactured in the new 4nm process at TSMC. All CPU cores can together use 8 MB of level 3 cache and 6 MB of System Level Cache (SLC). Compared to the similar Dimensity 9000, the 9000 Plus offers a 200 MHz higher clocked X2 core.
The CPU Performance of the 9000+ is very good thanks to the big cores and high clock speeds. At the time of announcement, it should be the fastest SoC for Android phones and depending on the workload even best the Apple A15 of the iPhone 13 (e.g. Geekbench in Multi-Core tests). The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 (in the ROG Phone 6 Pro e.g.) should slightly behind the Dimensity 9000+ in single and multi-threaded tests.
The integrated quad channel memory controller supports LPDDR5X with 7500 Mbps. The integrated GPU is an ARM Mali-G710 MC10 (10 of the 16 possible cores) and should be 10% faster compared to the same iGPU in the Dimensity 9000 (thanks to higher clocks).
The Dimensity 9000+ is produced in the state of the art 4nm process at TSMC.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2
► remove from comparison
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform is a high-end SoC for smartphones that was introduced in late 2022 and manufactured in 4 nm at TSMC (N4P). It integrates four different CPU clusters. A fast and big prime core based on the ARM Cortex-X3 architecture and clocked at up to 3.2 GHz for 64 bit applications. Two more ARM Cortex-A715 based performance cores clocked at up to 2.8 GHz (also only for 64 bit apps). Two more Cortex-A710 performance cores at up to 2.8 GHz that can also be used for older apps and three efficiency cores (ARM Cortex-A510 with up to 2 GHz). All cores can use the shared 8 MB level 3 cache.
Thanks to the new architecture and high clock rates, the SD 8 Gen 2 is the fastest mobile CPU for Android based devices and is only topped by current Apple SoCs like the Apple A16 (see benchmarks below).
The chip also integrates a Hexagon accelerator for AI workloads (tensor, scalar and vector). Qualcomm states that its one of the first chips with INT4 support and up to 4.35x performance compared to the previous generation.
The 18-Bit-Spectra ISP is able to process photos with up to 200 MP and work with videos up to 8k30 (including 10-bit, HDR10+, HLG and Dolby Vision).
A big improvement of the Snapdragon 8 G2 is the integrated Adreno 740 GPU, that now supports Hardware Raytracing and tops even the iGPU in the Apple A16.
The integrated AI Engine can offer up to 4x faster AI performance thanks to the bigger Tensor engine. The 18-Bit-Spectra-ISP also saw some big improvements and is now called Snapdragon Sight.
The integrated Adreno 730 offers a 30% graphics boost compared to the previous Adreno 660.
The integrated Snapdragon X70 5G modem is also new as is the FastConnect 7800 modem with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.3 support.
