Hey explorer,
We have seen in today's generation that smartphone are coming up with different Soc or chipset. For example we have seen many smartphones coming me Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and also with MediaTek processor.
In this post I will try to tell why one should choose between the MediaTek processors and the Qualcomm Snapdragon..For the most users they prefer Qualcomm Snapdragon because of their optimization and performance while many users prefer MediaTek chipset because they are affordable brings value for money as well as battery efficient compare to Qualcomm Snapdragon.
1. Snapdragon 8 Elite or Dimensity 9400: Performance
- While the two processors have different core configurations, they are pretty comparable in terms of performance. In our first comparison between the two processors, we saw that the Snapdragon 8 Elite’s performance managed to rival the Apple A18 Pro. It was on par with the A18 Pro in single core test in GeekBench 6, while its multi core scores crossed over 10,000 points. A previous GeekBench sighting listed the device with 2884 (single) and 8840 (multi) points respectively. On AnTuTu, this chip managed to get a score of over 3 million. Regardless, it is one of the fastest processors for Android smartphones right now.
- Meanwhile, the Dimensity 9400 was first seen getting a GeekBench score of 2818 points in the single core test, while its multi core scores reached 8847 points. Just like the Snapdragon 8 Elite, the MediaTek chip also crossed the 3 million mark on AnTuTu. So the Snapdragon 8 Elite performed better in GeekBench, while the Dimensity 9400 took the lead in AnTuTu (3,109,010 points vs 3,007,853 points respectively). Although in real world use, people would be hard pressed to notice a major difference. So let’s check out other avenues.
Qualcomm has claimed a 45% boost in CPU performance along with a 44% improvement in power efficiency. MediaTek also promises a 40% upgrade in both performance and battery efficiency as well. However, a recent real world test from C4ETech, which compared the Oppo Find X8 Pro (Dimensity 9400) and OnePlus 13 (Snapdragon 8 Elite), revealed that the Dimensity 9400 consumes less battery and runs cooler overall.
3. Camera Support
Both Qualcomm and MediaTek have updated their ISPs (Image Signal Processor) to support a single 320MP capture. The Snapdragon 8 Elite brings triple 48MP capture with Zero Shutter Lag, 8K@60fps, and 1080p slo-mo capture at 480fps. On the other hand, MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400 offers full range HDR zoom without losing the subject focus thanks to the new Imagiq 1090 ISP. It also has AI super zoom with 100x magnification and maximum video recording resolution of 8K. This includes 30fps and 60fps.
So that's it for today.
What do you guys prefer a smartphone with latest welcome Snapdragon processors or a smartphone with MediaTek processor? Coming down below with your thoughts and specify the reasons..
