Qualcomm Snapdragon 712 vs Mediatek Helio G85
Qualcomm Snapdragon 712
► remove from comparison
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 712 (SD712) is a fast mid-range ARM-based SoC largely found on Android tablets and smartphones. Compared to the Snapdragon 710 predecessor, the 712 offers a 10% faster CPU and GPU due to clock rate increases (100 MHz for the CPU e.g.). It was announced early 2019 and positions itself between the 600 series (e.g. Snapdragon 660) and 800 series (e.g. Snapdragon 845). It integrates 8 Kryo 360 cores devided in two big cores (most likely based on Cortex-A75 at up to 2.3 GHz) and six small cores (most likely based on Coretx-A55 at up to 1.7 or 1.8 GHz). The memory controller supports LPDDR4X and the integrated graphics card is called Adreno 616. The X15 LTE modem supports 4x4 MIMO with up to 800 MBbit/s download and 150 MBit/s upload.
The Snapdragon 712 is manufactured in the modern 10 nm process at Samsung (10LPP).
Mediatek Helio G85
► remove from comparison
The Mediatek Helio G85 is a mainstream ARM SoC for smartphones (mainly Android based) that was introduced in 2020. It is manufactured in a 12 nm FinFET process and integrates 8 CPU cores. Two fast ARM Cortex-A75 cores with up to 2 GHz for performance tasks and six small ARM Cortex-A55 with up to 1.8 GHz for efficiency. All eight cores can be used together thanks to Heterogeneous Multi-Processing support. The integrated GPU is a ARM Mali-G52 MC2 (MP2) with two clusters at up to 1000 MHz (up from 950 MHz from the otherwise similar Helio G80). The SoC also integrates the HyperEngine that handles a dynamic management of CPU, GPU and memory.
The SoC integrates furthermore a LTE radio with Cat-7 (download) / Cat-13 (upload) support, Wifi 5 (ac), Bluetooth 5.0, LPDDR4x 1800 MHz and eMMC 5.1 storage.
