MediaTek amped up its chipset game with the Dimensity series of chipsets and now, its Dimensity 9000 SoC has toppled Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in some metrics. According to the stats revealed by SPEC, the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC certainly produces more performance than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 while the power consumption and efficiency are a bit okayish. In simple words, performance is better but overall, the Dimensity 9000 SoC is less efficient and power consumption is relatively higher.
Dimensity 9000 SoC and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Pit Against One Another
Dimensity 9000 SoC benchmarks on SPEC were captured when it was on a prototype device as well as now that it is officially available on Oppo Find X5. Both variants show a significant difference.
Talking about the A710 cores on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, it managed to earn 32.83 on performance while the Dimensity 9000 scored 38.27 and 40.73 on prototype and Find X5 variants respectively. This gives Dimensity 9000 a much higher performance than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 especially the Find X5 model which has gone beyond.
Next up, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset has a power consumption of 2.06W. When compared, the Dimensity 9000 SoC measures 1.72W and 2.24W on the prototype and Find X5 variants respectively. This translates into higher power required which means Dimensity 9000 SoC is comparatively power-hungry.
Performance on Cortex X2 cores on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, Dimensity 9000 SoC prototype and Find X5 models were almost identical to that of A710 where the latter brought more performance out of the chipset. Talking about the power consumption, Cortex-X2 cores on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 are at 3.89W while the Dimensity 9000 SoC sports 2.63W and 3.4W on the prototype and Find X5 respectively.
.According to the reports, Dimensity 9000 SoC is certainly powerful, however, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is overall efficient.
