Snapdragon 768G vs SD 730G vs SD 720G – Release Date Comparison

About release dates, the Snapdragon 768G has announced on May 8, 2020 in the Redmi K30 5G Speed Edition; however, the official release was made in May 11, 2020. The SD 720G was also released this year on January 20, 2020 and lastly, the SD 730G was presented a year ago, on April 9, 2019.

Snapdragon 768G vs SD 730G vs SD 720G – Process Comparison

Let’s start the real Snapdragon 768G vs SD 730G vs SD 720G comparison with the process section. The recently launched SD 768G has inside the latest 7nm LPP EUV process made by Samsung, which gives it the power you need to be a great processor. That being said, both the SD 730G and the SD 720G features the 8nm LPP Samsung process, which although it is not as powerful as the 7nm process, it is a nice upgrade over its ancestor SD 710 and SD 712 which were based on the 10nm LPP process.

The EUV process allows 10 billion transistors (10.3 billion transistors) on a board area which is 36% less compared to the previous generation, and due to this, the Snapdragon 768G wins this process category.

Winner: Snapdragon 768G

Snapdragon 768G vs SD 730G vs SD 720G – CPU Comparison

It is time to start this great comparison of processors, and we will start talking about the CPUs that are inside. Starting with the SD 768G, it has an octa-core design with a tri-cluster layout (1+1+6); It has a 1 x Cortex A76 high-performance core running at a speed of 2.8GHz and 1 x mid-end Cortex A76 running at a speed of 2.4GHz. Meanwhile, there are 6 x Cortex A55 power-efficient SoCs running at a speed of 1.8GHz.

That being said, the Snapdragon 730G has an eight-core (octa-core) technology that is divided into two groups. A fast performance cluster features two ARM Cortex A76 cores clocked up to 2.2GHz and an energy-efficient cluster that features six small ARM Cortex A55 cores clocked up to 1.8GHz. Depending on the workload, only individual clusters or all cores can run at different clock speeds.

Lastly, the Snapdragon 720G has 8 cores in total and dual cluster arrangement, which is based on two Cortex A76 cores that go at an approximate speed of 2.3GHz and six Cortex A55 cores that go at an approximate speed of 1.8GHz.

CPU Comparison

Comparing all of them, we can clearly see that the SD 768G is the winner here because of higher clock speed for both Cortex A76 cores.

Winner: Snapdragon 768G

Snapdragon 768G vs SD 730G vs SD 720G – GPU Comparison

Turning to talk about the GPUs that are inside these three powerful processors, in terms of GPU performance, the SD 768G works with the Adreno 620 with clock speed of 750 MHz, while both the SD 730G and the SD 720G works with the Adreno 618, manufactured by Qualcomm itself, which has a speed of 700MHz.

Due to the clock speed that the Adreno 620 has, the SD 768G gets the first place in this category as well.

Snapdragon 768G vs SD 730G vs SD 720G – AI Comparison

Now, talking about AI, the SD 768G works with the Hexagon 696 NPU for AI tasks and operations. With that said, the SD 730G incorporates the Hexagon 688 DSP to move artificial intelligence code, and adds the Vector eXtensions, in addition to the Hexagon Tensor Accelerator, which at means that the chip is not only responsible for coordinating the rest of the processor but also has a specific execution unit. And to top it off, we have a neural processing SDK also included.

Lastly, the SD 720G comes with the dedicated Hexagon 692 DSP. It even beats Helio G90T and is one of the best low mid-end SoC in terms of AI beaten by only the upper-mid and high-end SoCs like Kirin 810, SD 855, Kirin 980, Kirin 990 and so on.

Winner: Snapdragon 768G

Snapdragon 768G vs SD 730G vs SD 720G – Connectivity Comparison

As for connectivity, the SD 768G supports 5G networking and is the first upper-mid SoC to provide this networking. Snapdragon 768G integrating the X52 modem (internal) gives 5G download up to 3.7 Gbit/s and upload up to 1.6 Gbit/s. Moreover, it also supports Global 5G networking consisting of sub-6 GHz in Europe and Asia and mmWave 5G in the US. For 4G LTE, the download uses Cat 24 with a speed up to 1200 Mbit/s and for upload Cat 22 with a speed up to 210 Mbit/s.

Having said that, the SD 730G by Qualcomm chip includes a range of other features like a fast X15 LTE radio (800 Mbits Cat 15 download, 150 Mbps Cat 13 upload), one of the first Wifi 6 wireless radios (802.11ax) and satellite positioning ( GPS, QZSS, GLONASS, SBAS, Beidou, Galileo). There’s no 5G support in SD 730G.

Last but not least, the SD 720G has an X15 LTE modem (download: Cat 15, up to 800 Mbit/s; upload: Cat 13, up to 150 Mbit/s). Apart from this, the other connectivity features are insane for a mid-end SoC. These include the first mid-end SoC to introduce the WiFi 6 standard. Other include Bluetooth 5.1, Dual-frequency GNSS, NavIC, and FM radio. There’s no 5G support in this processor either.

Connectivity Comparison

Not only due to the general specifications it has, but also thanks to the highly acclaimed user 5G connectivity, the SD 768G takes first place in this category.
