Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 and MediaTek Dimensity 7020 are similarly specced processors based on a 6nm process, with two performance cores clocking at 2.2GHz frequency. However, there are key differences between these two 5G chips which we will explain here. Especially since they are available in phones from different price segments, it becomes important to discern the differences in these chips. So, we will pit Snapdragon 695 vs Dimensity 7020 specifications and see how they fare on benchmarking platforms like AnTuTu and Geekbench.
Note: We have used our in-house POCO X5 benchmark test for Snapdragon 695 and Tecno Camon 30 5G benchmark test for Dimensity 7020.
Snapdragon 695 vs Dimensity 7020: key differences
Snapdragon 695 advantages over Dimensity 7020
- Snapdragon 695‘s Adreno 619 is faster (by 50 MHz) than the IMG BXM-8-256 GPU of Dimensity 7020. The Snapdragon chip can perform more FLOPS (Floating-point operations per second), a metric to measure the GPU’s capability.
Dimensity 7020 advantages over Snapdragon 695
- Dimensity 7020 (51.2 GB/s, 3200 MHz) supports newer LPDDR5 memory with higher bandwidth and speed than Snapdragon 695’s LPDDR4x (17 GB/s, 2133 MHz).
- The Dimensity chip supports 2K30 fps video playback while the Snapdragon processor supports only 1080p at 60 fps.
- The Dimensity chip supports newer Vulkan and OpenGL graphics rendering APIs.
