Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 vs MediaTek Dimensity 700
Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2
► remove from comparison
The Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 (SM4450) is an entry-level eight-core SoC that is the successor to the Snapdragon 4 Gen 1. It integrates a total of 8 cores divided into two clusters.
The SoC continues to rely on the same core constellation as its predecessor, but with higher clock rates. In addition to two fast Cortex-A78 cores that clock at up to 2.2 GHz, the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 has six energy-saving Cortex-A55 cores that operate at a maximum of 2 GHz.
The performance is on par with the similar but older Snapdragon 695 5G, the Mediatek MT8188J and the Mediatek Dimensity 7020. The Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 of the next faster tier, is about 29% faster in our benchmarks (Vivo V40 Se vs Honor Pad 9).
The Adreno 613 graphics card is different to the predecessor and as the name implies - and our benchmarks show, it is slower then the Adreno 619 in the SD4 Gen 1. It supports important graphics APIs such as OpenGL ES 3.2, OpenCL 2.0 and Vulkan 1.1. It is also capable of hardware-accelerated decoding of H.265 and VP9 data.
The Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 can rely on the Qualcomm X61 5G modem, which supports maximum download rates of up to 2.5 GBit/s (upload: max. 900 MBit/s). Only Wi-Fi 5 is supported for WLANs and Bluetooth 5.1 is also no longer up to date. The dual ISP works with up to 12 bit and operates with a maximum resolution of 108 MPix. Quick Charge 4 is integrated as fast charging technology.
The Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 is manufactured with a structure width of 4 nm at Samsung (compared to the 6nm TSMC Process of the SD 4 Gen 1).
MediaTek Dimensity 700
► remove from comparison
The Mediatek Dimensity 700 is a fast mid-range SoC with an integrated 5G modem. It includes two fast ARM Cortex-A76 cores at up to 2.2 GHz and six power efficient Cortex-A55 cores at up to 2 GHz (Octa-Core with Heterogeneous Multi-Processing). Compared to the similar Dimensity 800U, the 700 offers lower clocked CPU cores (-200 MHz) and a slower GPU (one less core).
Furthermore, the chip integrates a 2 core ARM Mali-G57 MC2 GPU, a Wi-fi 5 modem, a LPDDR4x-2133 memory controller, a AI processing unit (APU 3.0) and video de- and encoding.
The Dimensity 700 is manufactured in the modern 7nm process and should be very power efficient.
