Dimensity 1050 5G vs Snapdragon 870 5G

Mediatek recently introduced the Dimensity 1050 chipset which is a mid- range chipset to carry the support for mm-Wave and Sub-6GHz. So, we are comparing this chipset to other alternative available under ₹30K price.

In this Post, we have compared it to Snapdragon 870 5G chipset under the hood. Further, the Dimensity 1050 isn’t launched to any device yet. So, the benchmarking is still unavailable.

Performance

Specs	Dimensity 1050	Snapdragon 870
Architecture	6nm	7nm
Cores	2.5 GHz x Cortex A78 6 x 2 GHz – Cortex-A55	1x 3.2 GHz – Cortex-A77 3x 2.42 GHz –Cortex-A77 4x 1.8 GHz – Cortex-A55
RAM Type	LPDDR5 44.1Gbit/s	LPDDR5 @ 2750Mhz 44Gbit/s
Storage	UFS 3.1	UFS 3.1
Instruction Set	ARMv8.2-A	ARMv8.2-A
TDP	10W	10W

Snapdragon seems to be more powerful as well as Carries hign frequency cores. Mediatek on the other side features better generation cores and smaller fabrication process.
