MediaTek Dimensity 9000 vs Google Tensor

Comparisons 19-05-2022

Detailed testing data of MediaTek Dimensity 9000 vs Google Tensor, comparison of graphics processors (GPU). A careful review of all the specifications of the SoCs, to make it easier to read, is made by the table. From the comparison video, you can get the results of joint testing in software tests like PassMark, Vellamo, GFXBench, 3DMark, Geekbench, PCMark, Quadrant, Neocore, AnTuTu, even the gaming performance of SoCs in GTA, Call of Duty, Fortnite, Madout2, Minecraft, Asphalt 9, PUBG etc.
After reading the results of all tests and videos, you can already make an briefed decision about which processors is better to buy MediaTek Dimensity 9000 or Tensor.

In this comparison block, you should pay attention to the differences in clock speed and the number of cores. Here MediaTek Dimensity 9000 is 8% better than Tensor in terms of CPU frequency. Also keep in mind that high CPU frequency affects battery life through power consumption.

GPU and Media

GPU	Mali-G710 MC10	Mali-G78 MP22
GPU Frequency	850 MHz	650 MHz
GFloPS	1648	986
# of Cores	10	22
# of Shader Units
Display	2560 x 1440 pixels	4096 x 2160 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.
