Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 vs MediaTek Dimensity 7020

Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1

► remove from comparison Qualcomm SD 6 Gen 1

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 (SM6450) mobile platform was designed for Android-based smartphones and tablets and was launched in September 2022. The SoC (system-on-a-chip) is in the entry-level class and is based on ARM's v9 architecture.

The cryo CPU of the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 is based on four ARM Cortex-A78 performance cores with clock frequencies of up to 2.2 GHz and an efficiency cluster consisting of four Cortex-A55 cores with a clock frequency of 1.8 GHz.

An Adreno 710 is used as the integrated graphics unit. The Soc also integrates a Spectra ISP (200 MP photo), a dual-channel 16-bit LPDDR 2750 MHz memory controller, an X62 5G modem (max 2.9 GBit/s download, 1.6 Gbit/s upload), a Fastconnect 6700 Wi-Fi 6E / Bluetooth 5.2 modem and Hexagon.

The SoC is manufactured in the modern 4 nm process at Samsung.

MediaTek Dimensity 7020

► remove from comparison Mediatek Dimensity 7020

The Mediatek Dimensity 7020 is a fast mid-range SoC with an integrated 5G modem. It includes two fast ARM Cortex-A78 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). Furthermore, the chip integrates a IMG BXM-8-256 GPU, a Wi-Fi 5 modem, a LPDDR5 / LPDDR4X memory controller, a AI processing unit  and video de- and encoding.

The 5G modem supports NR 2CC and mixed duplex (TDD/FDD) and dual SIM. The download speeds can reach up to 2.77 Gbit/s.

Compared to the Dimensity 930, the 7020 offers the same specifications and seems to be a rebrand.

The Dimensity 930 and 7020 are manufactured in the modern 6nm process and should be very power efficient.
