Marvell PXA986 vs Renesas MP5232 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.

Renesas MP5232

► remove from comparison  MP5232

The Renesas MP5232 is an entry level ARM Cortex-A9 dual-core SoC with integrated LTE cat. 4 radio. It aims at "cheap" Android based smartphones with LTE between 150 and 300 Dollars. Both CPU cores are clocked at up to 1.5 GHz, although e.g. in the Samsung Galaxy Core LTE SM-G386F they are limited to 1.2 GHz. In addition to the ARM processor cores, the MP5232 features a PowerVR SGX544 graphics card, LTE cat. 4 / DC-HSPA+ 3G / Edge radio, 1080p video de- and encoder, and a 20 MP ISP.

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.
