Samsung Exynos 9810 vs Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 specs comparison

Image
Samsung's all-new  Exynos 9810 chipset just became official , setting its sights straight to the upcoming Galaxy S9 and S9+. Well, at least in certain regions. With four high-performance cores clocked at up to 2.9GHz and accompanied by another quad-cluster of efficient cores that will go easy on your battery, a super-speedy Cat.18 LTE modem that enables downlink speeds of up to 1.2Gbps and 200Mbps of uplink, neural network-based deep learning, and probably most importantly, "real-time out-of-focus photography in high resolution and brighter pictures in low light with reduced noise and motion blur", the Exynos 9810 is forming to be a beastly silicon. But how does it fare against the elephant in the room, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 845 chipset, which will be powering the US-bound version of the Galaxy S9 and S9+? That one is also packing some serious horsepower, snappy LTE speeds, and all the bell and whistles to propel the Galaxies just as good as the Exynos chip

Samsung officially unveils the Exynos 9810, touts AI features, advanced 3D "hybrid" face recognition

The first true 9-series Exynos is here, and while it's still being built on a 10nm process, it promises increased performance and lower power draw"  Back in November, we caught first wind of Samsung's  next-gen Exynos chipset , which was revealed in passing in press materials from Samsung. However, at that time, information about the new SoC was scant, with details being withheld for a final reveal further down the line. And here we are now, with an official announcement from Samsung, outlining some of the best new features and capabilities of the chipset. The Exynos 9810 is still being built on Samsung's 10nm manufacturing node, contrary to earlier rumors alleging an 8nm process, but the second-generation 10nm FinFET manufacturing node is promising higher performance with a lower power draw for the new chipset. Furthermore, the Exynos 9810 boasts custom CPU cores, an upgraded GPU, and advanced machine-learning and image-processing capabilities, which will be

MediaTek said to have a pair of 12nm mid-range chipsets on the way, Helio P40 and Helio P70

MediaTek is pretty much unknown in the U.S. as most of its chips are found inside devices that are made and sold in China. But if current reports are true, Apple is about to give the company a huge shot of publicity, stateside. Thanks to its quarrels with Qualcomm,  Apple appears to be ready, willing and able to replace the Snapdragon modems  that might have been deployed on the 2018 CDMA flavored iPhone units, with MediaTek's version of the broadband chip.  MediaTek is also believed to be working on a couple of mid-range chipsets, the Helio P40 and Helio P70. If the rumors are legit, both are being built by TSMC using the 12nm process, and figure to arrive in Q2 of 2018. The Helio P40 carries an octa-core CPU with four A73 cores clocked at 2GHz to do the heavy lifting, and four A53 cores, also clocked at 2GHz, for the light housekeeping. The GPU is the Mali-G72 MP3 clocked at 700MHz, and the chip supports cameras up to 32MP. The chipset is compatible with up to 8GB of RAM. Ther
