With 720G chipset we get support for NavIC navigation system
CPU and Manufacturing Process
The Helio G90T is built on an
older 12nm process while the Snapdragon 720G is built of a much better
8nm process. This makes the 720G much more efficient than then G90T by a
big margin as a 4nm is too big a difference in terms of the
manufacturing process. Coming to the CPU, the G90T is an octa-core
processor with two high-performance Cortex-A76 cores clocked at 2.05 GHz
and six power-efficient Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 2.0 GHz.
Comparatively, in terms of numbers, the Snapdragon 720G does better with
two high-performance Cortex-A76 cores clocked at 2.3 GHz but pulls back
with the Cortex-A55 cores by clocking them @ 1.6 GHz.
In terms of
real-life usage, the difference between both of them won’t be much
evident. It will only be during high-performance tasks like video
encoding when the Snapdragon 720G will pull ahead of the G90T with a
faster speed. The 720G offers a 7.2 per cent CPU performance increase in
the Antutu benchmark test compared to Helio G90T.
GPU
In the Snapdragon 720G, we see the Adreno 618. Adreno 618 performs
15% slower than the GPU found in the Snapdragon 730G. In comparison, the G90T has the
Mali-G76 3EEMC4
GPU which is clocked at 800MHz. Back when the G90T was launched, it was
compared with the 730G in terms of gaming and it was concluded that the
G90T was much ahead of 730G’s GPU. This just means that G90T’s GPU will
completely blow Snapdragon 720G’s GPU out of the water. The difference
between both the processors in terms of gaming will be a significant
gap. In Antutu test, Helio G90T delivers a 13.87 per cent GPU
performance increase compared to 720G.
Artificial intelligence (AI)
MediaTek didn’t give much thought about AI
when they developed the G90T. There is no specific optimization made for AI and even there is not a dedicated APU in the G90T. Whereas, the Snapdragon 720G
comes with flagship-grade Hexagon 692 DSP.
It has Qualcomm’s All-ways aware technology and even has a dedicated
neural processing SDK. So it is quite obvious that Qualcomm wins the
battle in this department as there is nothing om offer frim G90T in
terms of AI.
Camera & Optics
The Helio G90T comes with
their very own 3X ISP which supports a single camera of 64MP @ 22.4fps
or a 48MP single camera @ 30fps. On the other hand, the Snapdragon 720G
comes with the Spectra 350L ISP which has support for a single 36MP
camera with capabilities of shooting at 192MP. In terms of video
recording, both of them max out with 4K at 30 fps. However, these are
just numbers and how a manufacturer optimizes a software will determine
how well the processor uses the maximum it has to offer in this
department.
Connectivity
The Snapdragon 720G’s X15 LTE
modem provides a download speed of 800 MBps and an upload speed of 150
Mbps. In contrast, the G90T’s modem provides a download speed of 600
Mbps and an upload speed of 150 Mbps. The difference isn’t much here but
where the 720G pulls ahead is the support. The 720G has support for
Wifi 6 and NavIC while the G90T is still stuck at Wifi 5 with no
support for NavIC.
Benchmarks
The Snapdragon 720G powered Realme 6 Pro
scored
a single-core score of 571 points and a multi-core score of 1676 points
in Geekbench v5.1. Helio G90T powered Realme 6, on the other hand,
shows a single-core score of 489 points and a multi-core score of 1660 points. Nothing much separating the both of them here.
Which One is the Better Processor?
If raw CPU performance and
gaming is a priority then the lower-priced Realme 6 with the Helio G90T
will be a better choice. But if someone is looking for overall better
performance with better efficiency, better connectivity, better support
along with somewhat similar CPU and gaming performance then Realme 6 Pro
is the device to get. The only reason why G90T could be preferred over
the Snapdragon 720G is better gaming performance.
