Nope. That old sd801 is a more powerful chip than the nonsense MediaTek regularly churns out. The MT6753 is an octa core of low performance A53 cores. It's role is to be in low end devices or to be part of chips with A57 cores. The SD801 is 4 Krait 400 cores. Rather have 4 older but high end cores than 8 low end cores.

The SD801 is only bettered by SD805, 820, 652 and Exonys chips. Even the SD810 loses out due to its poor thermal efficiency. It's one of the reasons why 2014 Android devices still last and people were not too bothered to upgrade to 2015 devices.
