Apple A10 Fusion GPU / PowerVR vs Qualcomm Adreno 680 vs Qualcomm Adreno 690
Apple A10 Fusion GPU / PowerVR
► remove from comparison
The Apple A10 Fusion / PowerVRMulticore graphics card included in the Apple A10 Fusion SoC that can be found in the Apple iPhone 7 and 7 Plus smartphones. Most likely based on PowerVR technology and according to apple 40% faster than the A9 while using only 2/3 of the power. The only technical detail that is known, is the core count (6) so far.
Qualcomm Adreno 680
► remove from comparisonThe Qualcomm Adreno 680 is an integrated graphics card in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx SoC for Windows laptops. According to Qualcomm it is 2x faster than the previous Adreno 630 in the Snapdragon 850 for Windows PCs with a 60% improved efficiency (thanks to the 7nm process). The performance should be similar to a Intel UHD Graphics 620 (e.g. in a 8th gen Core i5) when running native ARM64 compiled Windows apps and games. Running emulated 32 bit games (64 bit games compiled for AMD/Intel are not supported), the performance is notably slower.
Qualcomm Adreno 690
► remove from comparison
The Qualcomm Adreno 690 is an integrated graphics card in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 SoC for Windows laptops. According to Qualcomm, the 690 is up to 60% faster than the previous generation. In our tests with the Lenovo ThinkPad X13s, the Adreno 690 was only on par with a low en Intel UHD Graphics iGPU and not well suited for 3D games.
The chip is manufactured in 5nm at Samsung (5LPE) and suited for fanless laptops.
