Mediatek Helio X10 MT6795 vs Intel Atom Z2760 vs Mediatek MT6739WW

Mediatek Helio X10 MT6795

The Mediatek Helio X10 MT6795 is an upper mainstream ARM SoC for smartphones (mainly Android based) that was introduced in 2015. It is manufactured in a 28 nm CMOS process and is equipped with 8 ARM Cortex-A53 CPU cores. The 8 cores are divided in two clusters with 4 cores each. The integrated dual-channel memory controller supports up to LPDDR3-933. Furthermore an LTE Modem (Cat 4) is integrated in the SoC.

The chip also integrates a PowerVR G6200 graphics card clocked at 700 MHz.

Intel Atom Z2760

The Intel Atom Z2760 is a SoC (System on a Chip) with the Codename Cloverview and part of the Clovertrail platform. The Z2760 is a one chip SoC and integrates a dual core Atom processor clocked at  max. 1.8 GHz. Due to Hyper-Threading, 4 threads can be executed on the two cores (for improved efficiency). Altough the Atom cores theoretically support 64 Bit, the Z2760 is only specified for 32 Bit operating systems.

The processor performance is on a level with other dual core Atom processors at 1.8 GHz as the Atom D525. Therefore, demanding tasks like HD video cutting is too much for the slow CPU cores. According to the Geekbench results, the Atom Z2760 in Windows 8 tablets offers a similar performance than a fast Tegra 3 or a OMAP 4470 with two 1.5 GHz Cortex-A9 cores.

The integrated graphics card is based on a PowerVR SGX 545 (DirectX 9_3 support) design and clocked at 533 MHz. The video decoder and encoder also stem from Imagination Technologies.

Furthermore, a dual channel LPDDR2 memory controller for a maximum of 2 GB RAM is integrated.

The whole SoC was optimized for power efficiency and low power consumption. It is produced with a 32nm LP (low power) process. Therefore, the power consumtion is in the same league as some ARM SoCs like the Tegra 3 and passive cooling is possible. The TDP ranges between 1.7 and 3 Watt (e.g. at techpowerup) depending on the source.

Mediatek MT6739WW

The MediaTek MT6739WW is a 64-bit ARM-based SoC launched in 2017 primarily for small budget Android devices. The quad-core processor is based on the Cortex-A53 architecture and clocks up to 1.5 GHz. It integrates an LTE modem (Cat. 4 DL / Cat 5 UL) and a PowerVR GE8100 at 570 MHz (the predecessors used ARM Mali GPUs). Furthermore, the SoC integrates a 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi adapter and a video de- and encoder in hardware.

The difference to the normal Mediatek MT6739 (see for more benchmarks) is not known and specs and performance are identical.
