Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 vs Mediatek MT8183 vs Qualcomm Snapdragon 630

Qualcomm Snapdragon 450

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 (SD450) is a lower mainstream SoC for (Android based) smartphones and tablets. It features eight ARM Cortex-A53 cores at up to 1.8 GHz and is already manufactured in the power efficient 14nm process. The integrated X9 LTE modem supports Cat. 7 with maximum transfer rates of 300 Mbps (downstream) and 150 Mbps (upstream). The SoC also includes an Adreno 506 GPU with support for Vulkan and OpenGL ES 3.1. WiFi 802.11ac (1x1, max 364 Mbps) and Bluetooth 4.1 are supported as well. The memory controller supports LPDDR3 (single channel) and the integrated video engine supports H.264 (encode and decode) and HEVC (only decode) in 1080p.

Mediatek MT8183

The Mediatek MT8183 is a mainstream ARM SoC (System on a Chip) that was introduced in Late 2019 and is primarily used for Android based tablets. It is manufactured in a 12 nm process (unverified) and has a total of eight CPU cores with four powerful Cortex-A73 and four small Cortex-A53 cores in a big.LITTLE configuration. The integrated graphics card is a ARM Mali-G72 with three clusters (MP3).

Features

Besides CPU and GPU, the chip is also equipped with an LPDDR3/LPDDR4x memory controller, a Wi-Fi 5 (a/b/g/n/ac) modem (but no cellular modem). Furthermore, Mediatek states that it integrated an AI accelerator with a performance of 0.5 TOPS.

The maximum display resolution is only 2,400 x 1,080 pixels.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 630

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 (SDM630) is a mid-range octa-core SoC with eight ARM Cortex-A53 CPU cores at up to 2.2 GHz, an Adreno 508 GPU, a LPDDR4-2666 memory controller (1333 MHz) and a X12 LTE (Cat 12/13, 300 Mbps down, 150 Mbps up) modem. Furthermore, the chip supports 802.11ac WiFi and Bluetooth 5.0. It is manufactured in 14nm FinFet. The processor performance should similar to the older Snapdragon 626 which offers similar clock speeds. Compared to the 626, the 630 however supports faster memory and offers faster LTE, Wifi and Bluetooth standards.
