Mediatek recently introduced the Dimensity 1300 chipset which is the up-gradation to the Dimensity 12000 chip used in Many flagship series devices. Today, we are comparing this chipset with the Qualcomm top tier Snapdragon 870 5G chipset which comes in a similar Priced Phone.
Performance
| Specs | Dimensity 1300 | Snapdragon 870 |
|---|---|---|
| Architecture | 6nm | 7nm |
| Cores | 1x 3 GHz – Cortex-A78 3x 2.6 GHz – Cortex-A78 4x 2 GHz – Cortex-A55 | 1x 3.2 GHz – Kryo 585 Prime (Cortex-A77) 3x 2.42 GHz – Kryo 585 Gold (Cortex-A77) 4x 1.8 GHz – Kryo 585 Silver (Cortex-A55) |
| RAM Type | LPDDR4X 34.1Gbit/s | LPDDR5 @ 2750Mhz 44Gbit/s |
| Storage | UFS 3.1 | UFS 3.1 |
| Instruction Set | ARMv8.2-A | ARMv8.2-A |
| TDP | 10W | 10W |
Dimensity 1300 seems more battery efficient and offers better power savings due to its 6nm architecture and uses better generation cores. the only thing is it still uses LPDDR4X RAM instead of the latest one provided by the Snapdragon
Connectivity
| Specs | Dimensity 1300 | Snapdragon 870 |
|---|---|---|
| 5G Support | Yes | yes |
| Modem Used | Mediatek 5G Modem | Snapdragon™ X55 5G Modem-RF system |
| Max Speed | Peak Downlink Speed 4.7Gbps Peak Uplink Speed 2.5Gbps | Peak Download Speed: Up to 7.5 Gbps (5G) Peak Upload Speed: Up to 3 Gbps (5G) |

| Video Playback | 8K at 30FPS, 4K at 60FPS | 4K at 60FPS |
| HDR Recording | yes, HEVC 10-bit | yes, HEVC 10-bit |
as you already understand from the comparison table, Mediatek 1300 lacks behind the Snapdragon 870 in terms of Display support, Video Recording & Much More.
Benchmarks
| Specs | Dimensity 1300 | Snapdragon 870 |
|---|---|---|
| Antutu V8 Score | 5,38,712 | 6,27,785 |
| Antutu GPU Score | 2,12,313 | 2,58,303 |
| Centurian Mark | 112.2 | 122.3 |
| Geekbench | 779 Single-core 2664 Multi-Core | 954 Single Core 3421 Multicore |
Dimensity 1300 even uses better architecture & Cores, its performance is very much beneath the Snapdragon. this shows that Mediatek has to improve the Software level optimization.
