Intel Atom Z2560 vs Mediatek Helio P10 MT6755 vs Mediatek MT8735

Intel Atom Z2560

► remove from comparison Intel Z2560

The Intel Atom Z2560 is a SoC (System on a Chip) with the Codename Penwell and part of the Medfield platform. The Z2560 is a one chip SoC and integrates a dual core Atom processor (Saltwell) clocked at 933 - 1600 MHz. Due to Hyper-Threading, 4 threads can be executed on the two cores (for improved efficiency).

The Saltwell CPU core is still very similar to the first Intel Atom. Therefore, the performance per clock should be very similar (only very small enhancements). However, the CPU now features additional 256 KB low-power-cache (on a separate voltage plane) to allow the CPU and L2 cache to enter a lower power state. Furthermore, the Atom now supports some sort of Turbo Boost and can reach up to 1.6 GHz shortly (933 MHz base frequency). Furthermore, the CPU core can be downclocked to 100 MHz (in 100 MHz steps) to save power.

The processor performance should be on a level with a previous generation Atom processor clocked at 933 - 1600 MHz (e.g., the Atom N550 clocked at 1.5 GHz). Therefore, the Z2560 should be a mid-range smartphone/tablet SoC.

The integrated graphics card is based on a PowerVR SGX 544MP2 design and clocked at 400 MHz. The video decoder (MPEG4.2, H.264, VC1, WMV) and encoder (MPEG4.2, H.264) also stem from Imagination Technologies (VDX385 and VDE285) and should allow 1080p30 de- and encoding of videos.

Furthermore, a dual channel LPDDR2 memory controller (2x 32 Bit) for a maximum of 1GB RAM is integrated.

The whole SoC was optimized for power efficiency and low power consumption. It is produced with a 32nm LP (low power) process and has a TDP of 3 Watt (according to TechPowerUp). Therefore, the Z2560 is even suited for smartphones.

Mediatek Helio P10 MT6755

► remove from comparison Mediatek Helio P10 MT6755

The Mediatek Helio P10 MT6755 is a mid-range ARM SoC for smartphones and tablets that was available starting in Q3 2015. The octa-core processor includes eight 64 Bit Cortex-A53 cores clocked with up to 2 GHz. Furthermore a ARM Mali-T860 MP2 graphics card with up to 700 MHz and a LTE Cat. 6 modem is integrated.

The performance of the CPU cores si similar to the Kirin 930 and therefore in the mid-range of smartphone SoCs in 2015 and 2016.

The SoC is manufactured at TSMC in 28nm (HPC+) and also suited for smartphones (e.g. the Elephone P9000).

Mediatek MT8735

► remove from comparison  MT8735

The Mediatek MT8735 is a mid range ARM based SoC for (mostly Android based) smartphones. It was manufactured in 28nm and offers a quad-core processor with four ARM Cortex-A53 cores clocked at up to 1.3 GHz. As a graphics card, the SoC integrates a ARM MAli-T720MP2. The integrated LTE radio supports CDMA2000 and a 5GHz 802.11bgn WiFi modem is also included.
