Qualcomm Snapdragon 685 4G vs MediaTek Dimensity 800U

Qualcomm Snapdragon 685 4G

► remove from comparison Qualcomm SD 685

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 685 (SD685, SM6225-AD) is a mid-range ARM-based SoC largely found on Android tablets and smartphones. It features 8 Kryo 265 cores (custom design, 64-Bit capable) that are divided in two clusters. A fast cluster of four cores with up to 2.8 GHz (Kryo 265 Gold - Cortex-A73 derivate) and a power saving efficiency cluster with up to 1.9 GHz (Kryo 265 Silver - Cortex A53 derivate). Both clusters can also be used together. According to Qualcomm the SD685 is around 15% more CPU performance and 10% more GPU performance compared to the old SD680 (thanks to higher clock speeds).

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 (X11 LTE modem with up to 390 Mbps download).

The SoC is produced in 6nm.

MediaTek Dimensity 800U

► remove from comparison Mediatek Dimensity 800U

The Mediatek Dimensity 800U is a fast mid-range SoC with an integrated 5G modem. It includes two fast ARM Cortex-A76 cores at up to 2.4 GHz and six power efficient Cortex-A55 cores at up to 2 GHz (Octa-Core with Heterogeneous Multi-Processing). Furthermore, the chip integrates a 3 core ARM Mali-G57 MC3 GPU, a Wi-fi 5 modem, a LPDDR4x memory controller, a AI processing unit (APU 3.0) and video de- and encoding.

Compared to the Dimensity 820, the 800U offers lower clocked A76 cores and a slower GPU.

The Dimensity 800U is manufactured in the modern 7nm process and should be very power efficient.
