Mediatek MT8183 vs JLQ JR510 vs MediaTek MT8161

Mediatek MT8183

The Mediatek MT8183 is a mainstream ARM SoC (System on a Chip) that was introduced in Late 2019 and is primarily used for Android based tablets. It is manufactured in a 12 nm process (unverified) and has a total of eight CPU cores with four powerful Cortex-A73 and four small Cortex-A53 cores in a big.LITTLE configuration. The integrated graphics card is a ARM Mali-G72 with three clusters (MP3).

Features

Besides CPU and GPU, the chip is also equipped with an LPDDR3/LPDDR4x memory controller, a Wi-Fi 5 (a/b/g/n/ac) modem (but no cellular modem). Furthermore, Mediatek states that it integrated an AI accelerator with a performance of 0.5 TOPS.

The maximum display resolution is only 2,400 x 1,080 pixels.

JLQ JR510

The JLQ JR510 is a lower mainstream SoC for (Android-based) smartphones and tablets by JLQ, a joint venture with Qualcomm and several Chinese companies.

The JLQ JR510 integrates eight ARM Cortex-A55 cores (similar to the Snapdragon 439) in two Clusters. 4 higher-clocked cores with up to 2 GHz and four power saving cores with up to 1.5 GHz.

The integrated graphics card is not an Adreno, but a ARM Mali G52MP1 (single cluster). Displays can be with resolutions up to 1080p/60Hz, for 720p 90 Hz is possible.

The JR510 also includes an AI accelerator with a theoretical performance of up to 1.23 TOPS. For connectivity, the SoC supports 4G (Cat4 / 7), Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), Bluetooth 5.0, FM and GNSS.

MediaTek MT8161

The MediaTek MT8161 is an ARM based entry-level to mid-range SoC for (Android based) tablets. It offers four ARM Cortex-A53 processor cores (quad-core) that are clocked with up to 1.3 GHz. Furthermore, an ARM Mali-720 graphics card, a LPDDR3 memory controller (e.g., accessing 1 GB in the Lenovo Tab 2 A8-50), Bluetooth 4.0 and dual-band 802.11 b/g/n are integrated in the SoC.

The performance is situated in the entry level of 2015 and often similar to the Kirin 910T (see benchmark below).
