IPQ4019 and IPQ4029: neck-and-neck dual Wi-Fi SoC options

In the field of wireless communications, Qualcomm has always been a leader in the industry, and its two Wi-Fi system-on-chip (SoC) IPQ4019 and IPQ4029 have attracted widespread attention in the market. While both chips provide powerful Wi-Fi connectivity for home and business networks, there are some significant differences in performance, features, and applications.

First of all, from a CPU and memory perspective, the IPQ4019 is equipped with a quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 CPU running at 717MHz. The IPQ4029 is upgraded to a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 CPU with a running speed of up to 1.8GHz. This means that IPQ4029 has significantly improved processing capabilities and response speed, and can better cope with high-load network tasks.

In terms of Wi-Fi capabilities, both support the 802.11ac Wave 2 standard, but the IPQ4029 can reach a speed of 1733Mbps on the 5GHz band, far exceeding the IPQ4019’s 867Mbps. On the 2.4GHz band, the IPQ4029 has speeds of 800Mbps, while the IPQ4019 has speeds of 400Mbps. This means that devices using IPQ4029 can provide faster and more stable network connections.

In terms of network interface, IPQ4029 has a built-in 2.5Gbps Ethernet port, which is faster than the 1Gbps port of IPQ4019 and provides a more efficient wired connection. This feature makes IPQ4029 better at handling large amounts of data transmission.

Additionally, there are differences in memory and GPU. IPQ4029 supports DDR4 memory, while IPQ4019 uses DDR3 memory. DDR4 memory generally has higher bandwidth and lower power consumption, which helps improve system performance. In terms of GPU, IPQ4029 uses Adreno 610, which is more powerful than IPQ4019’s Adreno 304 and can provide smoother high-definition video playback and gaming experience.

To sum up, although IPQ4019 and IPQ4029 are both high-performance Wi-Fi SoCs, IPQ4029 shows higher performance in terms of CPU and memory performance, Wi-Fi speed, network interface, and some other features. For application scenarios that require processing large amounts of data, providing fast and stable network connections, and high-definition video and gaming experiences, IPQ4029 is undoubtedly a better choice. However, for some application scenarios that are more cost-sensitive or have less high performance requirements, IPQ4019 is still an affordable and reliable choice.
