MediaTek Dimensity 8300 vs Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3: specs comparison

MediaTek Dimensity 8300 came out in 2023 (Cortex-A715 + A510, TSMC 4 nm), Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 in 2024 (Cortex-X4 + A720 + A520, TSMC 4 nm). Same core and thread count: 8/8. Max clock: 3.35 GHz vs 2.8 GHz. Memory: LPDDR5X-8533 on Dimensity 8300, LPDDR5X-4200 on Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3. Graphics: Mali-G615 MC6 and Adreno 732. Clocks from different vendors are not directly comparable, so those rows are not highlighted.

In short. The table below is built from the official spec sheets. Green marks the best value in a row. This is not a benchmark: check tests in the games and apps you use.

How to use it

  1. Compare cores and threads — they matter most for video editing, 3D and multitasking.
  2. For gaming, clock speed and L3 cache matter more — especially on AMD X3D chips.
  3. Check the socket and supported memory: will the CPU fit your board.
  4. To add a third processor, press “Change models or add a third”.
