Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 vs Mediatek Helio A20 MT6761D vs Mediatek Helio P23 MT6763V

Qualcomm Snapdragon 662

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 is a lower mid-range ARM-based SoC largely found in Android tablets and smartphones. It features 8 Kryo 260 cores (custom design, 64-Bit capable) that are divided in two clusters. A fast cluster of four cores with up to 2 GHz (Kryo 260 Gold - Cortex-A73 derivate) and a power saving efficiency cluster with up to 1.8 GHz (Kryo 260 Silver - Cortex A53 derivate). Both clusters can also be used together.

In addition to the 8 CPU cores, the SoC integrates a mid range Adreno 610 GPU with a LPDDR4 memory controller (dual-channel)  and supports Wi-Fi (802.11ac + MIMO, max. 867 Mbps), Bluetooth 5, and LTE (X12 LTE modem with up to 600 Mbps download and 150 Mbps upload).

Power Consumption

Thanks to the new 11 nm LPP process, the energy efficiency should be quite good.

Mediatek Helio A20 MT6761D

The Mediatek Helio A20 MT6761D is an entry-level ARM SoC for smartphones and tablets (mainly Android-based) that was introduced in 2020. It integrates four ARM Cortex-A53 cores clocked at up to 1.8 GHz. It integrates a PowerVR GE6300 GPU clocked at up to 550 MHz. The integrated memory controller supports LPDDR4x (max. 4 GB at 1200 MHz). Furthermore, a LTE radio with Cat-4 DL (150 Mbps download) and Cat-6 UL (50 Mbps upload) and a 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi 5 modem is integrated.

Compared to the similar named A22 MT6761, the MT6761D offers lower clocked CPU and GPU cores and a slower LTE modem, but is produced in the modern 12 versus 16nm process.

Mediatek Helio P23 MT6763V

The Mediatek Helio P23 MT6763V is a mainstream ARM SoC for smartphones (mainly Android based) that was introduced in 2017. It is manufactured in a 16 nm FinFET+ process and is equipped with 8 ARM Cortex-A53 CPU cores. The cores are divided in two clusters, a performance cluster clocked at up to 2 GHz (versus 2.3 GHz in the official specs for the similar P23 MT6763T) and a power efficiency cluster clocked at up to 1.65 GHz (unverified). The chip also includes an LTE modem (Cat. 7 DL / Cat. 13 UL with Dual-SIM support) and a 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi modem. The integrated ARM Mali-G71 MP2  GPU is clocked at up to 770 MHz and has two cluster (from 32). The integrated memory controller supports DDR4x (Dual-Channel?) at 1500 MHz and LPDDR3 (Single Channel only) at 933 MHz. The video engine supports H.264 de- and encoding but only decoding (playback) of H.265/HEVC.
