mt76 is an application processor (running Linux) whereas BL602 is a microcontroller (running the RTOS of your choice).

Entirely different categories in both electrical and compute power.

There's a lot of mt76 chips. Some are application processors with MIPS cores, some are dedicated wireless chips with just a Cortex R4 and a Cortex M4.

Their marketing/product folk really aren't doing them any favors.
