Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G vs Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 5G

Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G

► remove from comparison Qualcomm SD 720G

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G (SD730G Mobile Platform) is a fast mid-range ARM-based SoC largely found on Android tablets and smartphones. It integrates eight cores (octa-core) divided into two clusters. A fast performance cluster contains two ARM Cortex-A76 cores clocked at up to 2.3 GHz (Kryo 465 Gold) and a power efficiency cluster with six small ARM Cortex-A55 cores at up to 1.8 GHz (Kryo 465 Silver). Depending on the workload only single clusters or all cores can run at different clock speeds.

The differences to the Snapdragon 730(G) Kryo 470 are not known, although the performance is comparable.

The chip includes a range of other features like a fast X15 LTE radio (800 Mbits Cat 15 download), Wi-Fi 6 wireless radios (802.11ax), satellite positioning, USB-C 3.1, Spectra 350L ISP, Hexagon 692 DSP, H.265 video en- and decode, an LPDDR4X-3733 dual-channel memory controller and a Adreno 618 graphics card.

The Snapdragon 720G is manufactured in the modern 8 nm process at Samsung (8LLP).

Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 5G

► remove from comparison Qualcomm SD 480

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 5G (SM4350) is a lower mainstream SoC for (Android based) smartphones and tablets. It features eight cores in two clusters. A performance cluster with two ARM Cortex A76 cores at up to 2 GHz and a efficiency cluster with six small ARM Cortex A55 cores at up to 1.8 GHz. 

The integrated Qualcomm X51 5G modem can reach up to 2.5 Gbps (5G) / 800 Mbps (LTE) download and 660 Mbps (5G) / 210 Mbps (LTE) upload speeds. The SoC also integrates WiFi 6 2x2 and Bluetooth 5.1.

The integrated Adreno 619 GPU is over 100% faster than the old Adreno 610 in the SD 460.

The SD480 is manufactured in the modern 8nm process and should be very energy efficient.
