MediaTek Dimensity 6080 vs Apple M1

Comparisons 24-06-2023

Comprehensive comparison data of MediaTek Dimensity 6080 vs Apple M1, testing of graphics chips (GPU). A careful analysis of all the technical characteristics of the CPUs, so that it can be easier to understand, is made by the table. From the comparison video, you can get the results of parallel examination in synthetic type tests such as Geekbench, Quadrant, Vellamo, 3DMark, GFXBench, PCMark, Neocore, PassMark, AnTuTu, even the gaming performance of processors in PUBG, Asphalt 9, Madout2, Minecraft, Call of Duty, Fortnite, GTA etc.
After looking at the data of parallel tests and videos, you can already make an briefed decision about which SoCs is better to buy Dimensity 6080 or M1.

In this comparison block, you should pay attention to the differences in clock speed and the number of cores. Here M1 is 25% better than Dimensity 6080 in terms of CPU frequency. Also keep in mind that high CPU frequency affects battery life through power consumption.

GPU and Media

GPU	Mali-G57 MC2	Apple M1
GPU Frequency	950 MHz	3200 MHz
GFloPS	486	2600
# of Cores	2	8
# of Shader Units		128
Display	2520 x 1080 pixels	2732 x 2048 pixels

The frequency of the GPU does not always directly indicate its performance. To fully evaluate all the capabilities of a graphics chip, you should take into account the number of Shader Units and Cores, as well as how many GFlops it has.
