Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 vs MediaTek Helio X30 vs Kirin 970

  • The Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 will have eight cores and will improve performance compared to its predecessors.
  • MediaTek Helio X30 will offer three operating modes with different core configurations to optimize performance and efficiency.
  • Huawei's Kirin 970 will feature two quad-core configurations, ideal for its flagships.
  • All processors will feature a 10-nanometer manufacturing process and a maximum frequency of 3 GHz.

Qualcomm Snapdragon

TRES processors that are to come next year and that they are about to completely revolutionize the world of smartphones. Or at least, they will be the brain of the great mobiles of next year. What will each of these be like? Well, extremely similar, although with some different ones.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 835

What will characterize this Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 And what will make it different from the others is that it will have eight cores with Qualcomm's own Kryo architecture. That is, a priori it will be like the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 and 821, but with eight cores instead of four. Of course, the general performance of the processor will not be double that of the previous ones, but a relevant improvement will be seen.

MediaTek Helio X30

With regard to the MediaTek Helio X30, perhaps this is the most complex in regard to its structure. And it is a processor that is designed to work in three different modes. High performance mode uses a cluster of Quad-core with Cortex-A73 architecture. At medium performance level you will use the cluster of Quad-core with Cortex-A53 architecture. And when we talk about optimizing energy consumption, the processor will use the two-core cluster with Cortex-A35 architecture. It is a processor with many possibilities. It will not reach performance levels as high as its rivals, but at the same time it will offer superior energy efficiency.

Kirin 970

El Kirin 970 It will be Huawei's processor, and we will see it mainly in the flagships that the Chinese company will launch on the market, such as the Huawei P10 or the Huawei Mate 10. The new processor will resemble the MediaTek Helio X30, although it will dispense with the low-consumption cluster energy, so it will have two configurations, one with Quad-core with Cortex-A73 architecture, and the other also from Quad-core with Cortex-A53 architecture. The advantage will be that the mobile processors manufactured by the company itself and hence it will be so powerful compared to its rivals.

Common aspects

However, in general terms it must be said that although there are differences when we talk about architecture or cluster configurations, the truth is that we find processors that are based on the same manufacturing process of 10 nanometers. In addition to this, the maximum clock frequency achieved by these processors will be 3 GHz, so that again we see many coincidences. Despite being different processors, their performance will be very similar.
