MediaTek Dimensity 800 vs MediaTek Dimensity 820
The MediaTek Dimensity 800 and MediaTek Dimensity 820 processors are two powerful chips with slightly different specifications.
In terms of CPU cores and architecture, both processors have an instruction set of ARMv8.2-A and a lithography of 7 nm. However, there is a difference in the clock speeds of the CPU cores. The Dimensity 800 has four Cortex-A76 cores running at 2.0 GHz and four Cortex-A55 cores also running at 2.0 GHz. On the other hand, the Dimensity 820 has four Cortex-A76 cores running at a higher clock speed of 2.6 GHz, along with four Cortex-A55 cores running at 2.0 GHz. This difference in clock speeds implies that the Dimensity 820 may offer better performance in tasks that require higher processing power.
Another difference between the chips lies in the number of CPU cores. The Dimensity 800 has a total of four cores, while the Dimensity 820 boasts eight cores in total. Having more cores can potentially improve multitasking capabilities and overall processing speed.
Both processors feature a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 10 Watts, indicating that they are designed to operate within a specific power range. This allows for efficient power consumption and heat management.
Additionally, both processors come equipped with a Neural Processing Unit (NPU). This specialized hardware component enhances AI performance, enabling tasks such as facial recognition, voice assistant, and machine learning.
Overall, while the MediaTek Dimensity 800 is a strong and capable processor, the Dimensity 820 offers some upgrades in terms of clock speed and the number of CPU cores. These improvements may result in enhanced performance and faster processing speeds for tasks that require higher computational power.
