Mediatek MT8732 vs Mediatek MT6750T vs Mediatek Helio P22T MT8768T

Mediatek MT8732

he Mediatek MT8732 is a mid range ARM based SoC for (mostly Android based) smartphones. It was manufactured in 28nm and offers a quad-core processor with four ARM Cortex-A53 cores clocked at up to 1.5 GHz. As a graphics card, the SoC integrates a ARM MAli-T760MP2. The integrated LTE radio supports LTE Cat. 4 and a WiFi modem is also included.

Mediatek MT6750T

The ARM-based Mediatek MT6750T SoC (System on a Chip) is a mid-range mobile processor announced in Q2 2016 for smartphones and tablets (mostly Android based). It integrates 8 ARM Cortex-A53 cores consisting of 4 high-performance cores clocked at up to 1.5 GHz plus 4 low-power cores clocked at up to 1 GHz each. Furthermore, the SoC integrates a Cat. 6 LTE radio and an ARM Mali-T860 MP2 GPU with 802.11n WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity. The difference to the MT6750 is not clear.

The Cortex-A53 is the successor to the Cortex-A7 and introduces 64-Bit support (ARMv8-ISA). Its performance-per-Watt is significantly higher and is even slightly ahead of the old Cortex-A9. If utilizing all 8 of its cores, the Cortex-A53 can rival competing mobile processes in the high-end class range. However, no practical software has been specifically coded to use all 8 cores at such high performance levels.

The integrated GPU is the modern ARM Mali-T860 MP2 (two clusters) clocked at up to 520 MHz. It should be able to run all current Android games.

In addition to the CPU and GPU cores, the SoC also contains a memory controller and the aforementioned Cat.6 LTE modem (FDD/TDD, DC-HSPA+, TD-SCDMA, CDMA2000, EDGE) with both 802.11n WiFi and Bluetooth. The integrated video engine is able to record and playback 1080p videos at up to 30 FPS in hardware. Cameras are supported at up to 16 MP.

The MT6750 is still manufactured in 28nm and so power efficiency is not on par with modern 14/16nm chips.

Mediatek Helio P22T MT8768T

The Mediatek Helio P22T MT8768T is an entry level ARM SoC for smartphones and tablets (mainly Android based) that was introduced in mid 2018. It integrates eight ARM Cortex-A53 cores in two clusters. The four performance cores clock up to 2.3 GHz and the four efficiency cores clock up to 1.8 GHz (big.LITTLE). The integrated graphics card is called PowerVR GE8320. The integrated memory controller supports LPDDR4x . Furthermore, a LTE radio with Cat-7 DL (300 Mbps download) and Cat-13 UL (150 Mbps upload) and a 802.11 a/b/g/n WiFi-5 modem is integrated. The chip is manufactured in 12nm FinFET.
