MEDIATEK VS SNAPDRAGON

MEDIATEK VS SNAPDRAGON

INTRODUCTION

MEDIATEK - It is a Taiwanese company. It uses more cores in its processors.

SNAPDRAGON - Snapdragon chipsets are manufactured by Qualcomm (American) company.Snapdragon chipsets are not only just CPU's they incorporate other many processors in their chipsets.

BATTERY LIFE

MEDIATEK - The mediatek chipsets are known to be more power draining and results in less battery life.

SNAPDRAGON - Snapdragon chipsets are best in terms of power efficiency compared to all other chipsets.

PERFORMANCE

MEDIATEK - Performance wise their processors are very good.Due the availability of extra cores,mediatek processors can handle intensive and heavy tasks and they are very good at multitasking.But we can see all this practically if we have sufficient Ram.Yes more cores demand more Ram to give best performance.

SNAPDRAGON - Performance wise they perform really well. In multi-tasking,gaming,handling heavy and intensive tasks they are very good.

HEATING PROBLEM

MEDIATEK - Now coming to the heating problem. All the processors deliver heat while performing tasks. Mediatek processors deliver more heat(more cores=more heat) than the others.

SNAPDRAGON - Snapdragon Processors generally deliver less heat compared to Mediatek and Intel Atom(Except the Snapdragon 810 Chipset-that faced many heating issues.)

GRAPHICS

MEDIATEK - Coming to graphics,Mediatek employs Mali graphics which is a third party graphics vendor(So graphics architecture is different from cpu and its performance may not match with cpu). It is really important to match the performances of cpu and gpu(graphics) so that the whole chipset performs efficiently and effectively.

SNAPDRAGON - Coming to graphics, they manufacture their own graphics called Adreno Graphics and incorporate into their chips. So here the performance of cpu and gpu are matched.

Conclusion

Well at the end I would like to say that each processor has its own plus points. So if you are going for a Smartphone under Rs. 15k then MediaTek processors offers excellent value money, and if you are getting a smartphone in price range higher than 15k then Snapdragon processors are the ones to choose as they offer excellent performance and features. But now MediaTek has also started manufacturing high-end processors like MT6752, MT6595 which offers similar or sometimes better performance than equivalent Snapdragon counterparts. So they are giving a tough competition to the Snapdragon processors.

So in my view

For High-end & Top notch Performance – Snapdragon

For both Performance and Affordable Price (Value for Money) – Mediatek
