Samsung Exynos 7885 vs MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ vs Samsung Exynos 7884B

Samsung Exynos 7885

The Samsung Exynos 7885 (also called Exynos 7 Series) is a upper mid-range system-on-a-chip (SoC) for smartphones and tablets. It was launched early 2018 alongside the Samsung Galaxy A8 2018 series and features two Cortex-A73 cores clocked at up to 2.2 GHz. Furthermore, there are six power efficient Cortex-A53 cores at up to 1.6 GHz, an ARM Mali-G71 MP2 GPU and a LPDDR4x memory controller. The integrated LTE modem supports LTE Cat.12 3CA 600 Mbps download speeds and Cat.13 2CA 150 Mbps upload. 802.11ac WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0 and FM Radio are also in the chip. It is manufactured in 14nm FinFET at Samsung and therefore a rather power efficient SoC.

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.

Samsung Exynos 7884B

The Samsung Exynos 7884B (also called Exynos 7 Series) is a upper mid-range system-on-a-chip (SoC) for smartphones and tablets. It integrates two big ARM Cortex-A73 cores clocked at up to 1.56 GHz. Furthermore, there are six power efficient Cortex-A53 cores at up to 1.35 GHz, an ARM Mali-G71 MP2 GPU and a LPDDR4x memory controller. Compared to the faster Exynos 7885, the CPU cores of the 7884B are clocked clearly lower. Furthermore, the integrated LTE modem is also slower (150 / 50 Mbit download / upload). 802.11ac WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0 and FM Radio are also in the chip. It is manufactured in 14nm FinFET at Samsung and therefore a rather power efficient SoC.
