Google Tensor vs MediaTek Dimensity 6100+

Google Tensor

The Google Tensor SoC (G1, first generation) is the first smartphone processor from Google. It is positioned as a high end SoC and focuses on the integrated TPU for efficient AI and ML calculations. The CPU part integrates two fast and big ARM Cortex X1 cores at up to 2.8 GHz. A second cluster integrates 2 mid range Cortex-A76 cores at up to 2.25 GHz. Finally, four small ARM Cortex-A55 cores with up to 1.8 GHz are integrated for efficiency purposes. All cores can access the shared 4 MB L3 cache. 

The successors of the Tensor SoC are the Tensor G2 and G3.

The chip also integrates a Titan M2 security processor and a ARM Mali G78 MP20 GPU. The chip is manufactured in the modern 5nm process.

MediaTek Dimensity 6100+

The Mediatek Dimensity 6100+ (or 6100 Plus, MT6835V/ZA) is a lower mid-range SoC with an integrated 5G modem. It includes two fast ARM Cortex-A76 cores at up to 2.2 GHz and six power efficient Cortex-A55 cores at up to 2 GHz (Octa-Core with Heterogeneous Multi-Processing). The specifications are similar to the old Dimensity 700 SoC and nearly identical to the Dimensity 6020. Compared to the 6020, the 6100+ offers slightly higher 5 G speeds (3.3 vs 2.7 Gbps), Bluetooth 5.2 (vs 5.1) support, and is manufactured in the slightly improved 6nm process (vs 7nm).

Furthermore, the chip integrates a 2 core ARM Mali-G57 MC2 GPU, a Wi-fi 5 modem, a LPDDR4x-2133 memory controller, a AI processing unit (APU 3.0) and video de- and encoding.
