Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 vs MediaTek Dimensity 7050
Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2
► remove from comparison
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 is a fast mid-range SoC with 8 cores for smartphones and tablets (mainly Android-based). It was introduced at the beginning of 2023 and brings significant advantages compared to the predecessor, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 (hence the direct jump to the Plus naming).
Qualcomm combines a powerful ARM Cortex-X2 performance core with clock rates up to 2.91 GHz with three Cortex-A710 cores at 2.49 GHz and with four frugal Cortex-A510 efficiency cores at 1.8 GHz. An Adreno 725 is used as the GPU, which supports Vulkan 1.1 and Snapdragon Elite Gaming.
Qualcomm speaks of a 50 percent better processor performance and twice the GPU and AI performance, as well as a 13 percent improved efficiency, each compared to the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1.
The integrated ISP can handle photos from a 200 MP camera as well as 4K HDR videos. Qualcomm promises a particularly effective night mode, in which 30 photos are taken almost simultaneously and combined into a brighter image. The AI accelerator is not only twice as fast, but also 40 percent more efficient, enabling AI Super Resolution, among other things, so games and videos can be intelligently scaled to a higher resolution.
The integrated Bluetooth chip supports Qualcomm aptX Lossless as well as Qualcomm High Speed Link for a more stable connection. Qualcomm also installs a Snapdragon X62 5G modem that achieves a download speed of up to 4.4 Gbps. The FastConnect 6900 chip supports Wi-Fi 6 and also Wi-Fi 6E.
The SoC is manufactured in the modern 4nm process at TSMC and should have a very good energy efficiency.
MediaTek Dimensity 7050
► remove from comparison
The Mediatek Dimensity 7050 (Mediatek MT8791N/TN) is a mid-range ARM SoC (system-on-a-chip) that can be used in both smartphones and tablets (mainly Android). The SoC integrates two ARM Cortex-A78 cores with up to 2.6 GHz for demanding tasks and six power-saving ARM Cortex-A55 cores with clock rates of up to 2 GHz. The specifications are identical to the old Dimensity 1080.
The chip has an integrated sub-6 GHz 5G modem including dual-SIM support that can reach a maximum download speed of up to 2.77 Gbit/s. Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) is supported as well as Bluetooth 5.2.
The memory controller copes with LPDDR4x or LPDDR5 working memory as well as UFS 3.1 mass storage. As an integrated graphics card, the SoC uses the ARM Mali-G68 MC4, which supports displays with 120 Hz as well as HDR10+ at a maximum resolution of 2,520 x 1,440 pixels.
The MediaTek Dimensity 7050 is still manufactured in 6 nm.
