MediaTek's Dimensity 9300 VS Qualcom Snapdragon 8 Gen 3

 

Qualcomm announced its latest mobile proccessor Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset in october 2023 , on the other hand MediaTek announced its latest mobile proccessor chipset Dimensity 9300  in November 2023.

These are the one of the Powerrful process in Mobile chipset which have new features and few features in common like TSMC 4nm process, Bluetooth 5.4 , support for hardware-based ray tracing.

Qualcomm adopts a 1+5+2 CPU layout, featuring one big Cortex-X4 core, five medium Cortex-A720 cores, and two little Cortex-A520 cores. This means we’ve got one more medium core and one less little core compared to the previous flagship Snapdragon chip.

Qualcomm is amping up the clock speed here too. All of these cores are running at a higher frequency than their counterparts on the vanilla Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. That combo of higher clock speed plus newer CPU cores is pretty promising, on paper.

Meanwhile, the Dimensity 9300 eschews little cores entirely in favor of four Cortex-X4 CPU cores and four medium Cortex-A720 cores. This is a very aggressive approach at first glance.

The Dimensity 9300 brings a higher clock speed for the big X4 core, but the three other X4 cores feature a reduced 2.85GHz clock speed in line with the medium A715 cores seen in the Dimensity 9200. Meanwhile, the four Cortex-A720 medium cores here are clocked at just 2GHz. In other words, MediaTek has loads of big and medium cores, but it isn’t running all of them at full tilt, so we’re curious to see what this means for multi-core workloads.

Qualcomm also brings its top-notch Adreno GPU and X75 modem, while MediaTek relies on its in-house modem and Arm’s Immortalis-G720 MC12 graphics.

MediaTek's Dimensity 9300 VS Qualcom Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Benchmarks!

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 inside the REDMAGIC 9 Pro has a slight edge when it comes to single-core scores, while the Dimensity 9300 in the vivo 100 Pro delivers a close multi-core win. It’s close enough that the results could conceivably go either way with another manufacturer’s phone.

 You’d think that MediaTek’s chip would run away in the multi-core test given the use of four heavy-lifting Cortex-X4 cores. But don’t forget that only one of these cores is clocked above 3GHz (3.25GHz, to be precise), while the three other X4 cores max out at 2.85GHz. Combined with Qualcomm’s decision to offer more cache and increased clock speeds on six cores, and the Dimensity 9300 edges out the Snapdragon chip by only a small margin.

Concusion : By comparing both chipset we find that Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will perform better than Dimensity 9300, but this doesn't mean that Dimensity is not good , Dimensity phones will also perform good .
