Qualcomm Snapdragon 632

► remove from comparison Qualcomm SD 632

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 (SD632) is a mid-range octa-core SoC with eight Kryo 250 cores (Cortex-A53 based) at up to 1.8 GHz, an Adreno 506 GPU, a LPDDR3 memory controller (dual channel) and a X9 LTE (Cat 12, 300 Mbps down, 150 Mbps up) modem. Furthermore, the chip supports 802.11abgn WiFi and Bluetooth 5.0. It is manufactured in 14nm FinFet. Qualcomm states a 40% faster performance compared to the old Snapdragon 626.

Samsung Exynos 7870 Octa

► remove from comparison Samsung 7870 Octa

The Samsung Exynos 7 Octa is a 64-bit SoC for mainstream smartphones and tablets (usually Android based). It was announced in February 2016 and integrates eight Cortex-A53 cores, which are manufactured in a modern 14-nm process. Compared to the previous 28-nm-SoCs, the performance was increased and the power consumption is 30 % lower according to Samsung. The integrated LZE Cat.6 modem reaches transfer rates of up to 300 Mbps (downstream) and 50 Mbps (upstream). The dual-channel memory controller supports LPDDR3-1866 RAM.

The integrated graphics adapter is an ARM Mali-T830 MP1 (core clock of 700 MHz according to Wikipedia). Besides OpenGL ES 3.2, it also supports OpenCL 1.2 as well as DirectX 11 (FL 9_3). The performance is sufficient for common Android games from 2016 at medium details.
