Mediatek MT6752 vs MediaTek Dimensity 800

Mediatek MT6752

The MediaTek MT6752 is a 64-bit ARM-based SoC launched in 2014 primarily for mid-range Android devices. The octa-core processor is manufactured in 28 nm and is based on the Cortex-A53 architecture. The cores clock at up to 1.7 GHz. It integrates an LTE modem and an ARM Mali-760 MP2 GPU at 700 MHz capable of decoding and encoding videos of up to 1080p30.

Processor

The Cortex-A53 is the successor to the popular Cortex-A7 design. In addition to the jump from 32-bit to 64-bit architecture (ARMv8 ISA) to address more than 4 GB of memory, the new design offers better branch prediction and higher performance-to-power ratio that rivals the Cortex-A9. The four cores of the MT6732 are clocked at up to 1.5 GHz and sits roughly in between the Qualcomm Snapdragon 610 (4x Cortex-A53 at 1.7 GHz) and Snapdragon 410 (4x Cortex-A53 at 1.2 to 1.4 GHz). The power-efficient processor is fit for common tasks like browsing and running light applications.

Graphics

The integrated Mali-T760 MP2  is an entry-level GPU clocked at up to 700 MHz. Most Android games will play at acceptable frame rates on medium resolutions and quality.

Features

The MT6752 SoC integrates a memory controller (1x 32-bit LPDDR3, 6.4 GB/s), multiple radios (WLAN, Bluetooth, GPS), and a cellular modem (GSM, UMTS, GPRS, HSPA+, HSUPA, TD-SCDMA, EVDO, and LTE Cat 4). Its integrated video engine allows for 1080p playback at 30 FPS (H.265). Cameras are supported up to 16 MP.

MediaTek Dimensity 800

The Mediatek Dimensity 800 is a fast mid-range SoC with an integrated 5G modem. It includes four fast ARM Cortex-A76 cores at up to 2 GHz and four power efficient Cortex-A55 cores at up to 2 GHz (Octa-Core with Heterogeneous Multi-Processing). Furthermore, the chip integrates a 4 core ARM Mali-G57 MC4 GPU, a Wi-fi 5 modem, a LPDDR4x memory controller(up to 16 GB with 2133 MHz), a AI processing unit (APU 3.0) and video de- and encoding.

Compared to the similar named Dimensity 800U, the 800 offers two more big A76 cores but clocked 400 MHz lower. This means the single core performance is lower, but the multi-core performance can be better.

The Dimensity 800 is manufactured in the modern 7nm process and should be very power efficient.
