► remove from comparison
The Samsung Exynos 7 Octa 7780 is a 64-bit SoC for mainstream smartphones and tablets (usually Android based). It was announced early 2017 and integrates eight Cortex-A53 cores clocked at up to 1.9 GHz. It is manufactured in the modern 14 nm FinFET process at Samsung and integrates an LTE Cat 7 modem. The (dual channel?) memory controller supports LPDDR4 RAM.
Additionally, the SoC integrates GPS, GLONASS and Baido positioning systems, UHD / HEVC (H.265) video de- and encoding and UFS 2.0 / eMMC 5.1 storage.
Samsung Exynos 7870 Octa
► remove from comparison
The Samsung Exynos 7 Octa is a 64-bit SoC for mainstream smartphones and tablets (usually Android based). It was announced in February 2016 and integrates eight Cortex-A53 cores, which are manufactured in a modern 14-nm process. Compared to the previous 28-nm-SoCs, the performance was increased and the power consumption is 30 % lower according to Samsung. The integrated LZE Cat.6 modem reaches transfer rates of up to 300 Mbps (downstream) and 50 Mbps (upstream). The dual-channel memory controller supports LPDDR3-1866 RAM.
The integrated graphics adapter is an ARM Mali-T830 MP1 (core clock of 700 MHz according to Wikipedia). Besides OpenGL ES 3.2, it also supports OpenCL 1.2 as well as DirectX 11 (FL 9_3). The performance is sufficient for common Android games from 2016 at medium details.
