Samsung Exynos 1380 vs MediaTek Kompanio 1300T

Samsung Exynos 1380

The Samsung Exynos 1380 is a system on a chip (SoC) designed for mid-range smartphones and tablets running on the Android operating system. The CPU is made up of two clusters, each consisting of four cores. It features four Cortex-A78 performance cores (up to 2.4 GHz) and four Cortex-A55 power-saving cores (up to 2.0 GHz). The integrated graphics unit is an ARM Mali-G68 MP5 with speeds of up to 950 MHz.

The NPU's performance has been improved by around 14 percent compared to its predecessor, with a capacity of 4.9 TOPS. Displays with up to 144 Hz and Full HD+ resolution can now be used, and the chipset supports cameras with up to 200 MPix. The chipset also includes Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3. Both LPDDR4x and LPDDR5 can be used as RAM, and UFS 3.1 is possible as internal storage.

The integrated modem has significantly increased download speeds, supporting both 5G-Sub6 (download: up to 3.79 Gbps (+32%), upload: up to 1.28 Gbps) and 5G-mmWave (download: up to 3.67 Gbps (+75%), upload: up to 0.92 Gbps). The upload speed for LTE (Cat. 18, download: up to 1.2 Gbps, upload: up to 0.211 Gbps (+5%)) has only been slightly improved.

The Exynos 1380 is manufactured by Samsung using the 5-nm process.

MediaTek Kompanio 1300T

The Mediatek Kompanio 1300T is a fast mid-range SoC with an integrated 5G modem for Android based Tablets. It includes two CPU clusters. Four ARM Cortex-A78 with up to 2.6 GHz and for power efficiency four ARM Cortex-A55 cores at up to 2 GHz. Compared to the Mediatek Dimensity 1300 and Dimensity 1200, there is no faster clocked prime core (of the four A78) and therefore the single thread performance is a lot lower.

Furthermore, the chip integrates a 9 core ARM Mali-G77 MC9 GPU, a Wi-fi 6 modem (ax), a LPDDR4x memory controller (up to 5266Mbps), a AI processing unit (APU 3.0 with 6 cores) and video de- and encoding (including AV1).

The chip is manufactured in the modern 6nm process and should be very power efficient.
