Mediatek has recently announced the Dimensity 1080 chipset. it is an upgraded edition of Dimensity 920 and comes with many additional features like 200MP camera support. Further, Realme and Xiaomi have also started the race to use this chipset on their upcoming phones.
Today, we are comparing this chip to the Exynos 1080 chipset, a Samsung manufactured
Official Info
| General Specifications | Dimensity 1080 | Exynos 1080 |
|---|---|---|
| Model No | — | S5E9815 |
| Availability | October 2022 | November 2020 |
| Class | Mid-range | Mid-Range |
| 1st Phone | None | Vivo X60 5G |
the Samsung Exynos 1080 was the king of its time and was available to many flagship phones as well.
CPU comparison
| CPU Info | Dimensity 1080 | Exynos 1080 |
|---|---|---|
| architecture | 2x Cortex A78 2.6Ghz 6x Cortex A55 2Ghz | 1x 2.8 GHz – Cortex-A78 3x 2.6 GHz – Cortex-A78 4x 2 GHz – Cortex-A55 |
| core cluster | 2+6 | 1+3+4 |
| process | 6nm | 5nm |
| instruction Set | Arm-v8.4-A | ARM-v8.3-A |
| GPU | Mali G68 MC4 | Mali-G78 MP10 |
| GPU frequency | 950MHz | 912MHz |
| TDP | — | 9W |
Even using the same type of CPU cores in both processors. the Exynos 1080 mashes with the use of a higher frequency clock and flagship GPU.
Memory Support
