HiSilicon Kirin 9000 vs MediaTek Dimensity 8200-Ultra

HiSilicon Kirin 9000

► remove from comparison  Kirin 9000

The HiSilicon Kirin 9000 is an ARM based high-end octa-core SoC for smartphones and tablet, which was introduced with the Huawei P40 Pro. It integrates eight CPU cores in three clusters. A single high performance ARM Cortex-A77 cores with up to 3.13 GHz for fast single core performance. Three more performance cores (same Cortex-A77 architecture) with up to 2.54 GHz and four efficiency cores based on the ARM Cortex-A55 architecture with up to 2.05 GHz. All 8 cores can be used at once (big.LITTLE).

The integrated graphics card is using the Mali-G78 architecture and features all 24 cores (G78MP24).

For AI acceleration (NPU), the Kirin 9000 integrates the Da Vinci Architecture 2.0 (2 * Ascend Lite and 1 * Ascend Tiny). Huawei specifies 8 MB of system cache (most likely shared for CPU, GPU and AI) and can access LPDDR4X and LPDDR5 main memory. The integrated 5G modem supports SA&NSA, Sub-6G and mmWave. WiFi 6 including VHT160 and Bluetooth 5.2 are also integrated in the chip.

The CPU performance is in the top tier of mobile SoCs of 2020 and slightly above the Snapdragon 865+ and on a level with the older Apple A13 Bionic SoC.

The Kirin 9000 is produced at TSMC in the modern 5nm process.

MediaTek Dimensity 8200-Ultra

► remove from comparison Mediatek Dimensity 8200-Ultra

The MediaTek Dimensity 8200-Ultra is a upper mid-range ARM-based SoC (system-on-a-chip) that is manufactured using the modern 4 nm process. It was specially designed for use in Android smartphones and is in the upper class in terms of performance. It supports all current mobile communication standards, including 5G SA. 

The CPU works with a total of eight cores, which are divided into two clusters. In the first cluster, an ARM Cortex-A78 power core clocked at 3.1 GHz is joined by three further ARM Cortex-A78 power cores clocked at 3 GHz. In the second cluster, four ARM Cortex-A55 power cores operate at 2.0 GHz. LPDDR5 RAM can be used as RAM and UFS 3.1 is supported as internal memory. 

In terms of connectivity, dual 5G with a theoretical peak download speed of up to 4.7 GBit/s is available, as well as WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3.

The Mediatek Dimensity 8200-Ultra is a variant of the otherwise identical Mediatek Dimensity 8200 that has been specially customised for Xiaomi and features improvements to the camera ISP. An Imagiq 785 image processor is responsible for processing the camera data. Video recordings are supported with up to 4K at 60 fps. The CPU part of the older Dimensity 8100 is very similar and offers the same CPU and GPU cores.

The integrated ARM Mali-G610 MC6 graphics unit can power displays with a resolution of up to 2,960 x 1,440 pixels (WQHD+) and a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz. With Full HD+, even up to 180 Hz is possible.
