Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 vs Mediatek Helio G99

Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 1

► remove from comparison Qualcomm SD 4 Gen 1

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 (SM4375) is a mid-range ARM-based SoC largely found on Android tablets and smartphones. It features 8 Kryo cores, which are 64-bit capable and divided into two clusters. A fast cluster of two cores with up to 2 GHz based on the ARM Cortex-A78 design. And a power saving efficiency cluster with up to 1.8 GHz based on much smaller ARM Cortex-A55 cores. Both clusters can also be used together. The SD 4 Gen1 is similar to the older Snapdragon 695 but with lower clock rates.

In addition to the 8 CPU cores, the SoC integrates a lower mid range Adreno 619 GPU, a X51 5G radio (up to 2.5 Gbits download, no mmWave), a 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5, 8x8 sounding, Dual Band, 2x2), a Bluetooth 5.2 radio, satellite positioning (GPS, QZSS, GLONASS, SBAS, Beidou and Galileo) and a video engine (support for H.265, H.264, VP8 and VP9).

The Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 is manufactured in the current 6nm process (high end SoCs use 4nm) at TSMC (6N).

Mediatek Helio G99

► remove from comparison Mediatek Helio G99

The Mediatek Helio G99 is a mainstream ARM SoC for smartphones (mainly Android based) that was introduced in 2022. It is manufactured in a 6 nm FinFET process and is equipped with 2x big ARM Cortex-A76 cores with up to 2.2 GHz and 6x small and power efficient ARM Cortex-A55 cores (max. 2 GHz) in two clusters (bigLITTLE). The chip integrates an ARM Mali-G57 MC2 (two cores). Compared to the older Helio G96, the G99 is manufactured in the more recent 6nm process and clocks higher.

Furthermore, the integrated LTE / 4G modem supports Cat-13 download speeds. Wi-Fi 5 is also integrated (a/b/g/n/ac). The memory controller supportsLPDDR4x with up to 4,266 Mbps.
