HiSilicon Kirin 985 5G vs MediaTek Dimensity 800U
When comparing the HiSilicon Kirin 985 5G and the MediaTek Dimensity 800U processors based on their specifications, several key differences arise.
Starting with the CPU cores and architecture, the Kirin 985 5G offers a configuration of 1x 2.58 GHz Cortex-A76, 3x 2.4 GHz Cortex-A76, and 4x 1.84 GHz Cortex-A55 cores. In contrast, the Dimensity 800U features 2x 2.4 GHz Cortex-A76 and 6x 2.0 GHz Cortex-A55 cores. While both processors comprise 8 cores, their composition differs slightly, with the Kirin 985 5G incorporating more Cortex-A76 cores.
Moreover, the instruction set for both processors is ARMv8.2-A, ensuring software compatibility. Additionally, both processors have a lithography of 7 nm, indicating a similar level of manufacturing technology.
In terms of power consumption, the Kirin 985 5G operates at a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 6 watts. Conversely, the Dimensity 800U does not specify its TDP, leaving power consumption details unclear.
Another notable difference lies in the neural processing capabilities. The Kirin 985 5G utilizes the Ascend D110 Lite and Ascend D100 Tiny, both part of the HUAWEI Da Vinci Architecture, for neural processing. On the other hand, the Dimensity 800U incorporates an NPU (Neural Processing Unit) for its neural processing needs.
In summary, while both the HiSilicon Kirin 985 5G and MediaTek Dimensity 800U processors share similarities in terms of architecture, number of cores, instruction set, and lithography, they differ in their CPU core configuration, power consumption, and neural processing capabilities. These differences contribute to variations in performance and efficiency, making it important for consumers to thoroughly analyze their specific needs before choosing a device powered by either processor.
