Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 vs MediaTek Dimensity 7025
Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2
► remove from comparison
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 (SM7435-AB) is an ARMv9-A-based SoC for tablets and smartphones in the upper mid-range segment.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 integrates a total of 8 cores divided into two clusters. The ARM Cortex-A78 cluster for high performance offers four cores with up to 2.4 GHz. The remaining 4 cores are based on the more energy-efficient A55 architecture and can be clocked at up to 1.95 GHz. All cores can run simultaneously or just a single cluster.
The SoC is similar to the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 which offers a slightly lower clocked efficiency cluster and a different named GPU. The similar named Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 is clearly faster with newer CPU cores. Although the naming suggest it, there was no Snapdragon 7s Gen 1.
LPDDR5 RAM is supported, with a frequency of up to 6,400 MHz.
The Snapdragon X62 5G modem is used as the modem. It supports a range of SA and NSA 5G mmWave and sub-6 GHz frequencies as well as Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS). The X62 can achieve a maximum downlink speed of up to 2.9 Gbit/s in 5G networks.
The Adreno 710 forms the graphics subsystem. The GPU is capable of driving FHD+ displays at up to 144 Hz.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 is manufactured using the modern 4nm EUV process.
MediaTek Dimensity 7025
► remove from comparison
The Mediatek Dimensity 7025 is a fast mid-range SoC with an integrated 5G modem. It includes two fast ARM Cortex-A78 cores running at up to 2.5 GHz and six power efficient Cortex-A55 cores at up to 2 GHz (octa-core chip with Heterogeneous Multi-Processing). Furthermore, the chip integrates an IMG BXM-8-256 GPU, a Wi-Fi 5 modem, an LPDDR5 / LPDDR4X memory controller, an AI processing unit and hardware video de- and encoding.
The 5G modem supports NR 2CC and mixed duplex (TDD/FDD) and is dual-SIM-compatible. The max download speed reachable is 2.77 Gbit/s.
Compared to the Dimensity 7020, the 7025 has a higher clock speed on the "big" A78 cores.
The Dimensity 7025 is manufactured on 6nm at TSMC.
