HiSilicon Kirin 820 vs MediaTek Dimensity 800

5G is about to come to India. Chipset manufacturers are launching their flagship and mid-range chipsets with 5G support. Recently Huawei launched its Kirin 820 chipset while MediaTek also has its Dimensity 800 chipset that has support for 5G. Both are upper-mid-range chipsets so we decided to compare them.

Here we will compare MediaTek Dimensity 800 vs Kirin 820 Chipsets to know the difference between both chipsets. If you also want to know then read this comparison.

Dimensity 800 vs Kirin 820: GPU & GPU

CPU

First of all, looking at the CPU section, here the Kirin 820 and Dimensity 800, both have octa-core CPU based on 64-bit architecture. MediaTek Dimensity 800 integrates 4 ARM Cortex-A76 Big Cores clocked at 2.0GHz and 4 ARM Cortex-A55 Little Cores clocked at 2.0GHz.

While HiSilicon Kirin 820 features 1 ARM Cortex-A76 core clocked at 2.36GHz, 3 ARM Cortex-A76 Cores operating at 2.22GHz, and 4 ARM Cortex-A55 cores clocked at up to 1.84GHz clock speed.

Here the Kirin 820 has a better clock speed of its big cores while Dimensity 800 has a better clock speed of its little cores because of which the Kirin 820 performs better here.

GPU

Speaking of GPU, here for gaming the Dimensity 800 has an Arm Mali-G77 MC4 while on the other hand in the Kirin 820 you get an ARM Mali-G57 6-Cores GPU. Here the Mali-G77 present on Dimensity 800 is better than the Mali-G57 of Kirin 820. So the Dimensity 800 offers a better gaming performance than the Kirin 820.

Manufacturing Process

In this section both SoCs are same because both are fabricated on TSMC’s 7nm manufacturing process.

Kirin 820 vs Dimensity 800: Camera, Memory & Display

Camera

Here the Dimensity 800 has support for up to 32MP + 16MP dual and up to 64MP single camera while the Kirin 820 supports up to 48MP + 24MP dual and up to 64MP single camera. Here the Kirin 820 supports better dual cameras while both support the same single camera.

Memory

In this section, the Kirin 820 supports up to 8GB LPDDR4x RAM operating at up to 2133MHz and UFS 2.1, UFS 3.0 based storage while the Dimensity 800 supports up to 10GB LPDDR4x RAM clocked at up to 2133MHz and UFS 2.1 based storage.

Display

Here the Dimensity 800 has support for up to Full HD Plus displays with a maximum resolution of 2520×1080 Pixels while the Kirin 820 also supports Full HD Plus displays with a maximum resolution of 2400 x 1080p.

Kirin 820 vs Dimensity 800: AI Engine

Speaking of Kirin 820 it has performance uplift of 73% over the previous Kirin 810 due to the use of new 1 big core. While the Dimensity 800 has Quad-core APU 3.0 which can achieve up to 2.5TOPS AI performance.

Connectivity Features

Connectivity-wise also both chipsets are almost same, both have support for 5G along with 2G, 3G and 4G. Other connectivity features like WiFi, BlueTooth, VoLTE, VoWiFi, GPS, FM Radio, etc. are also included in both SoC.
