Samsung Exynos 1480 vs MediaTek Dimensity 7030
Samsung Exynos 1480
► remove from comparisonThe Samsung Exynos 1480 is a system on a chip (SoC) for mid-range smartphones and tablets based on Android. The CPU is made up of two clusters, each consisting of four cores. Four Cortex-A78 power cores (up to 2.75 GHz) and four Cortex-A55 power cores (up to 2.05 GHz) are used. The integrated graphics unit (GPU) is a Samsung Xclipse 530. The chipset supports Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3. Both LPDDR4x and LPDDR5 can be connected as RAM. UFS 3.1 is possible as internal memory.
The performance of the new AI engine with 6K MAC NPU is said to be around four times higher than its predecessor. In addition, displays with up to 144 Hz and Full HD+ can be used and cameras with up to 200 MPix are supported. The improved ISP now also enables videos in Ultra HD with up to 60 frames per second and is also capable of HDR and zero-shutter lag (ZSL).
The integrated modem has again received a significant speed boost for downloads and is considerably faster for both 5G-Sub6 (download: up to 5.1 GBit/s, upload: up to 1.28 GBit/s) and 5G-mmWave (download: up to 4.84 GBit/s, upload: up to 0.92 GBit/s), but remains unchanged for uploads since the Exynos 1280. There are no changes for LTE (Cat. 18, download: up to 1.2 GBit/s, upload up to 0.211 GBit/s).
The Exynos 1480 is manufactured by Samsung using the 4 nm process (Samsung 4LPP).
MediaTek Dimensity 7030
► remove from comparisonThe Mediatek Dimensity 7030 is a mid-range ARM SoC (system-on-a-chip) that can be used in both smartphones and tablets (mainly Android). The SoC was introduced in September 2023.
It includes a 5G modem and supports the latest mobile phone standards in dual-SIM mode with both cards, so that surfing and phoning is possible via two different cards at the same time. The SoC integrates two ARM Cortex A78 cores with up to 2.5 GHz for demanding tasks and six low-power ARM Cortex A55 cores with clock speeds of up to 2 GHz.
The chip has an integrated sub-6 GHz and mmWave 5G modem including dual-SIM support that can reach a maximum download speed of up to 4.6 Gbps. Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) is supported as well as Bluetooth 5.2.
The memory controller can cope with LPDDR4x or LPDDR5 working memory as well as UFS 3.1 mass storage. As an integrated graphics card, the SoC uses the Mali-G610 MP3, which supports displays with 144 Hz as well as HDR10+ Adaptive, HLG and Dolby Vision at a maximum resolution of 2,520 x 1,080 pixels.
Compared to the Dimensity 920, the CPU unit has the same clock speeds but a more modern instruction set, ARMv8.2-A. A new graphics unit is used and WiFi 6E is supported, as well as displays with up to 144 Hz.
The SoC is manufactured in a 6nm process.
