Mediatek MT8788 vs Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 4G
Mediatek MT8788
► remove from comparison
The Mediatek MT8788 is an upper mainstream ARM SoC for smartphones (mainly Android based) that was introduced in early 2018. It is manufactured in a 12 nm FinFET (12FFC) process and is equipped with 4x big ARM Cortex-A73 cores and 4x small and power efficient ARM Cortex-A53 cores in two clusters (bigLITTLE). The cores can reach a frequency of up to 2 GHz. The processor also integrates a ARM Mali-G72MP3 GPU and a dedicated AI processing unit. Furthermore, the integrated radio Wifi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 4.2, and FM radio. The specifications of the MT8788 are identical to the Helio P60 for Smartphones.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 4G
► remove from comparison
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 (SD680, SM6225) 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 2.4 GHz (Kryo 265 Gold - Cortex-A73 derivate) and a power saving efficiency cluster with up to 1.8 GHz (Kryo 265 Silver - Cortex A53 derivate). Both clusters can also be used together. Compared to the older Snapdragon 665, the clock speeds are higher.
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 (compared to the older 11nm LPP process of the similar Snapdragon 665).
