Mediatek MT8165 vs Mediatek Helio P20 (LP4) MT6757 vs Mediatek Helio P10 MT6755

Mediatek MT8165

The MediaTek MT8165 is a 64-bit ARM-based SoC for Android devices launched in 2014. The quad-core processor is manufactured in 28 nm and based on the Cortex-A53 architecture. In addition to the CPU core, it integrates an ARM Mali-760 MP2 GPU and a LPDDR3 memory controller (32-bit, 800 MHz, 6.4 GB/s).

Processor

The Cortex-A53 is the successor to the popular Cortex-A7 design. In addition to the jump from 32-bit to 64-bit architecture (ARMv8 ISA) to address more than 4 GB of memory, the new design offers better branch prediction and higher performance-to-power ratio that rivals the Cortex-A9. The four cores of the MT8165 are clocked at up to 1.5 GHz and sits roughly in between the Qualcomm Snapdragon 610 (4x Cortex-A53 at 1.7 GHz) and Snapdragon 410 (4x Cortex-A53 at 1.2 to 1.4 GHz). The power-efficient processor is fit for common tasks like browsing and running light applications.

Graphics

The integrated dual-core Mali-T760 MP2 is a mid-range GPU clocked at up to 500 MHz. Most Android games will run at acceptable frame rates on medium resolutions and quality.

Mediatek Helio P20 (LP4) MT6757

The Mediatek Helio P20 MT6757 is an upper mainstream ARM SoC for smartphones (mainly Android based) that was introduced in 2016. It is manufactured in a 16 nm FinFET process and is equipped with 8 ARM Cortex-A53 CPU cores clocked at 2.3 GHz (max.). The chip also includes an LTE modem (Cat. 6).

The integrated ARM Mali T880 MP2  GPU is clocked at up to 900 MHz and has two cluster (from 16) from the Midgard (4th Gen) architecture.

Mediatek Helio P10 MT6755

The Mediatek Helio P10 MT6755 is a mid-range ARM SoC for smartphones and tablets that was available starting in Q3 2015. The octa-core processor includes eight 64 Bit Cortex-A53 cores clocked with up to 2 GHz. Furthermore a ARM Mali-T860 MP2 graphics card with up to 700 MHz and a LTE Cat. 6 modem is integrated.

The performance of the CPU cores si similar to the Kirin 930 and therefore in the mid-range of smartphone SoCs in 2015 and 2016.

The SoC is manufactured at TSMC in 28nm (HPC+) and also suited for smartphones (e.g. the Elephone P9000).
