Mediatek Helio P70 vs Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 vs Mediatek MT8788
Mediatek Helio P70
► remove from comparison
The Mediatek Helio P70 is an upper mainstream ARM SoC for smartphones (mainly Android based) that was introduced in 2019. 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 2.1 GHz. The processor also integrates a ARM Mali-G72MP3 GPU and a dedicated AI processing unit. Compared to the older Helio P60, the P70 uses the same silicon (most likely) but 100 MHz higher clocked CPU and GPU cores.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c Gen 2
► remove from comparison
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 Compute Platform (or SD7c Gen2) is a ARM based SoC for Windows laptops. It integrates two fast Kryo 495 Gold cores (based on the ARM Cortex-A76 architecture) at up to 2.55 GHz and six small Kryo 495 Silver cores (ARM Cortex-A55) for power efficiency. Compared to the previous generation, the clock speeds were slightly increased.
According to Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 can offer up to 60% better productivity performance per watt in Windows 10 compared to Gemini Lake Refresh chips such as the Intel Celeron N4020 and, to a good extent, the Pentium Silver N5030.
The integrated X15 LTE modem supports Cat.12 download (600 MBit/s) and Cat.13 upload speeds (150 MBit/s). Furthermore, Wifi-5 and Bluetooth 5.0 are integrated in the SoC. In addition to the Adreno 618 graphic card, the SoC also integrates a Hexagon 692 NPU.
The chip is produced in 8nm (compared to the more modern 7LPP process of the 8cx) and intended for the use in thin and light laptops without a fan.
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.
