MediaTek Helio G series has some powerful chipsets for budget and premium Android smartphones. The Helio G37 is one of the brand’s gaming chipsets for mid-range smartphones. The Infinix Hot 12 and Motorola Moto G22 are some of the recent Android budget phones equipped with this gaming MediaTek processor.
Qualcomm, on the other hand, has been marking its presence in the mobile chipset industry with Snapdragon series processors. The Snapdragon 662 is the company’s bet in the mid-range segment. A bunch of popular phones with this processor have been competing with the lot mentioned above. The Poco M3, Xiaomi Redmi 9 Power, and the Vivo Y51A are a few of examples. But, why are we speaking of both these chipsets? Well, we have done a quick comparison between both these mid-range chipsets. Read on here:
MediaTek Helio G35 Vs Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 Chipset: CPU, GPU Differences
MediaTek’s Helio G35 processor is built on 12nm fabrication with a 2300MHz frequency range. The processor has octa-cores including four Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 2.3GHz and the other four clocked at 1.8GHz. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 processor is also an octa-core chipset but is fabricated using 11nm process and has 2000MHz frequency range. This processor has four Cortex A73 cores and four Cortex A53 cores clocked at 2.3GHz and 1.8GHz respectively.
The Helio G35 gets PowerVR GE8320 GPU integration with 650MHz base frequency. The processor has two execution units and 96 shading units. The GPU integrated within the Helio G35 is the Adreno 610, a part of Adreno 600 Architecture. It has a 650MHz GPU frequency, two execution units, and 32 shading units. Both these MediaTek and Qualcomm processors feature the same 1.1 Vulkan version and DirectX 12 version. Both the chipset brands have designed the SD 662 and the Helio G37 as a capable processors that can offer a smooth daily user experience and also perform lag-free with apps.
