Marvell PXA986 vs HiSilicon Kirin 910 vs WonderMedia PRIZM WM8950

Marvell PXA986

► remove from comparison Marvell Technology Group PXA986

The Marvell PXA986 is an ARM based dual-core SoC for smartphones and tablets (mostly Android based). It contains two Cortex-A9 CPU cores usually clocked around 1.2 GHz and a Vivante GC1000 graphics card. The integrated video processor is able to handle 720p30 content in H.263, H.264 BP and MPEG4 SP encoding. Furthermore, a GSM/EDGE/WCDMA/HSDPA radio is included in the chip.

HiSilicon Kirin 910

► remove from comparison

The HiSilicon Kirin 910 is an ARM based quad core SoC for Android smartphones and tablets. As HiSilicon is fully owned by Huawei, the chip is mostly used in Huawei models like the MediaPad X1, P6 S, MediaPad M1 and Honor 3C 4G). The SoC integrates four Cortex-A9 cores (at 1.6 GHz max.), a ARM Mali-450 MP4 GPU (at 533 MHz), a 32-bit single-channel LPDDR3-1600 memory controller (533 MHz) and a LTE Cat. 4 radio. The similar named HiSilicon Kirin 910T is a 200 MHz higher clocked (CPU) version.

At the time of announcement in mid 2014, the CPU performance is in the mid-range of smartphone and tablet SoCs. The power consumption is a bit higher than usual, as the CPU cores are rather high clocked.

WonderMedia PRIZM WM8950

► remove from comparison  WM8950

The VIA WonderMedia PRIZM WM8950 is an entry-level SoC for smartphones and tablets. It is aimed at Android 4.x and Windows CE devices and includes a single core Cortex-A9 processor at 1 GHz, an ARM Mali 400 (MP2?) graphics card, multi-standard 1080p video decoding, H.264 video encoding, a DDR3, LPDDR2 memory controller and a hardware security engine.
