Mediatek MT6753 vs Mediatek Helio P23 MT6763T vs Mediatek Helio A20 MT6761D

Mediatek MT6753

The ARM-based Mediatek MT6753 SoC (System on a Chip) is a mid-range mobile processor announced in mid 2015 for smartphones and tablets (mostly Android based). It integrates 8 ARM Cortex-A53 cores consisting of 4 high-performance cores clocked at up to 1.5 GHz plus 4 low-power cores. Furthermore, the SoC integrates a Cat. 4 LTE radio and an ARM Mali-T720 MP4 GPU clocked at 600 MHz with 802.11n WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity.

The Cortex-A53 is the successor to the Cortex-A7 and introduces 64-Bit support (ARMv8-ISA). Its performance-per-Watt is significantly higher and is even slightly ahead of the old Cortex-A9. If utilizing all 8 of its cores, the Cortex-A53 can rival competing mobile processes in the high-end class range. However, no practical software has been specifically coded to use all 8 cores at such high performance levels.

The MT6753 is manufactured in 28nm and should be suited for smaller smartphones.

Mediatek Helio P23 MT6763T

The Mediatek Helio P23 MT6763T is a mainstream ARM SoC for smartphones (mainly Android based) that was introduced in 2017. It is manufactured in a 16 nm FinFET+ process and is equipped with 8 ARM Cortex-A53 CPU cores. The cores are divided in two clusters, a performance cluster clocked at up to 2.3 GHz (2.5 GHz for a single core only) and a power efficiency cluster clocked at up to 1.65 GHz. The chip also includes an LTE modem (Cat. 7 DL / Cat. 13 UL with Dual-SIM support) and a 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi modem. The integrated ARM Mali-G71 MP2  GPU is clocked at up to 770 MHz and has two cluster (from 32). The integrated memory controller supports DDR4x (Dual-Channel?) at 1500 MHz and LPDDR3 (Single Channel only) at 933 MHz. The video engine supports H.264 de- and encoding but only decoding (playback) of H.265/HEVC.

Mediatek Helio A20 MT6761D

The Mediatek Helio A20 MT6761D is an entry-level ARM SoC for smartphones and tablets (mainly Android-based) that was introduced in 2020. It integrates four ARM Cortex-A53 cores clocked at up to 1.8 GHz. It integrates a PowerVR GE6300 GPU clocked at up to 550 MHz. The integrated memory controller supports LPDDR4x (max. 4 GB at 1200 MHz). Furthermore, a LTE radio with Cat-4 DL (150 Mbps download) and Cat-6 UL (50 Mbps upload) and a 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi 5 modem is integrated.

Compared to the similar named A22 MT6761, the MT6761D offers lower clocked CPU and GPU cores and a slower LTE modem, but is produced in the modern 12 versus 16nm process.
