MediaTek Dimensity 9300 vs Google Tensor

Comparisons 07-06-2023

Comprehensive compare data of MediaTek Dimensity 9300 vs Google Tensor, testing of graphics processors (GPU). A careful review of all the specifications of the chips, to make it easier to read, is made by the table. From the video comparison, you can get the results of joint testing in special testing software like PCMark, Vellamo, PassMark, Neocore, GFXBench, Quadrant, Geekbench, AnTuTu, 3DMark, and how good the SoCs are in games Madout2, Call of Duty, PUBG, Asphalt 9, Fortnite, Minecraft, GTA etc.
After looking at the data of all tests and videos, you already be able to figure out which processors is better to buy Dimensity 9300 or Tensor.

In this comparison block, you should pay attention to the differences in clock speed and the number of cores. Here Dimensity 9300 is 6% 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	Immortalis-G720 MC20	Mali-G78 MP22
GPU Frequency	800 MHz	650 MHz
GFloPS	3600	986
# of Cores	20	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.
