Mediatek MT8732 vs Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 vs Mediatek MT6752

Mediatek MT8732

he Mediatek MT8732 is a mid range ARM based SoC for (mostly Android based) smartphones. It was manufactured in 28nm and offers a quad-core processor with four ARM Cortex-A53 cores clocked at up to 1.5 GHz. As a graphics card, the SoC integrates a ARM MAli-T760MP2. The integrated LTE radio supports LTE Cat. 4 and a WiFi modem is also included.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 662

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 is a lower mid-range ARM-based SoC largely found in Android tablets and smartphones. It features 8 Kryo 260 cores (custom design, 64-Bit capable) that are divided in two clusters. A fast cluster of four cores with up to 2 GHz (Kryo 260 Gold - Cortex-A73 derivate) and a power saving efficiency cluster with up to 1.8 GHz (Kryo 260 Silver - Cortex A53 derivate). Both clusters can also be used together.

In addition to the 8 CPU cores, the SoC integrates a mid range Adreno 610 GPU with a LPDDR4 memory controller (dual-channel)  and supports Wi-Fi (802.11ac + MIMO, max. 867 Mbps), Bluetooth 5, and LTE (X12 LTE modem with up to 600 Mbps download and 150 Mbps upload).

Power Consumption

Thanks to the new 11 nm LPP process, the energy efficiency should be quite good.

Mediatek MT6752

The MediaTek MT6752 is a 64-bit ARM-based SoC launched in 2014 primarily for mid-range Android devices. The octa-core processor is manufactured in 28 nm and is based on the Cortex-A53 architecture. The cores clock at up to 1.7 GHz. It integrates an LTE modem and an ARM Mali-760 MP2 GPU at 700 MHz capable of decoding and encoding videos of up to 1080p30.

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 MT6732 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 Mali-T760 MP2  is an entry-level GPU clocked at up to 700 MHz. Most Android games will play at acceptable frame rates on medium resolutions and quality.

Features

The MT6752 SoC integrates a memory controller (1x 32-bit LPDDR3, 6.4 GB/s), multiple radios (WLAN, Bluetooth, GPS), and a cellular modem (GSM, UMTS, GPRS, HSPA+, HSUPA, TD-SCDMA, EVDO, and LTE Cat 4). Its integrated video engine allows for 1080p playback at 30 FPS (H.265). Cameras are supported up to 16 MP.
