Qualcomm or MediaTek? Which one was your daily companion in 2021? These chip manufacturers have come a very long way, developing newer and better chipsets, conquering the latest Generation network bands, and most importantly, being a daily companion. There was a time, not long back, when Snapdragon was the most preferred chipset for smartphones, while MediaTek was most commonly found in low-end devices. Now the times have changed, both the firms are parallelly climbing for the Top, while providing us with newer, better, and more reliable hardware.

5G is the next stop, and there are a lot of options to choose from. Here are two Flagship processors from the two well-known Global manufacturers. Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and the MediaTek Dimensity 9000. The MediaTek Dimensity 9000 is also said to be the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 killer, thanks to the higher clock speed and better single and multi-core processor tests. The question that arises here is will you prefer an MTK SOC over the most preferable Qualcomm Snapdragon?
Here’s a very quick and short comparison between the two flagship processors from the two firms.
The Dimensity 9000 supports LPDDR5X RAM, which runs on 3750 MHz frequency, greater than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 with 3200 MHz frequency support. Dimensity 9000 also supports Bluetooth 5.3, while Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 supports Bluetooth 5.2.
Which processor is good for gaming?
Here Qualcomm Snapdragon wins, as it is most preferred by game developers. Almost all games are primarily optimized for Snapdragon, which could mean better “gaming” performance than its rival.
Which one’s more power efficient?
The MediaTek turns out to be more power-efficient, as well as power-packed than its Snapdragon rival.
Here the choice is clear, and a record is made only to be broken. Both the firms are competing neck to neck for slightly better performance. However, now you don’t have to think twice before buying, as both the chips are reliable daily drivers.
