Just over a year ago, in December of 2013, MT6582 hit the market. This SoC went on to revolutionize the industry and make phones with 1GB of RAM and IPS displays available in the $150 ballpark within several months of it’s introduction.
The P6000 has 3G coverage for 900/2100 bands and 4G 800/1800/2100/2600MHz which makes it an excellent phone for UK/Europe/Asia.
Fast forward a year and very good phones with the MT6582 chipset and similar configurations are now available for less than $100.
What we have today is the old generation vs the new. The MT6582 Elephone P3000 vs the MT6732 Elephone P6000. Don’t get me wrong, the MT6582 SoC still has a lot of life left in it, and I expect it to be used in phones well into Q2 of 2015 and perhaps even longer.
Later this week I will be posting further comparisons between these two SoCs. Included will be Vellamo, Icestorm and Asphalt 8.
The MT6582 P3000 has 1GB of RAM and the MT6732 P6000 has 2GB of RAM, but in terms of how the GPU pushes pixels and how the CPU pushes load, the affect of 1GB vs 2GB of RAM is minimal.

Take a look at the massive difference in scores here, the Cortex-A53 CPU puts a nice beatdown on Cortex-A7, but take a look at the 3D scores and we see that the Mali-T760 GPU absolutely trounces the Mali-MP400.
It’s a resounding testament to how far phone SoC technology has come in just the past year. That the budget MT6732 SoC, is selling for less than MT6582 was when first introduced, makes things even more interesting.
Both the Elephone P3000 and Elephone P6000 came from Gearbest, one of our top trusted shops and so far these phones have both very much impressed me.
