Apple A10 Fusion GPU / PowerVR vs ARM Mali-T860 MP2

Apple A10 Fusion GPU / PowerVR

► remove from comparison Imagination A10 Fusion GPU

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.

ARM Mali-T860 MP2

► remove from comparison ARM Mali-T860 MP2

The ARM Mali-T860 MP2 is a mobile graphics solution that can be found in ARM SoCs like the Mediatek Helio P10. The chip is available since Q1/2015 and supports OpenGL ES 3.1, OpenCL 1.2 and DirectX 11.1. The Mali-T860 can be built with 1 to 16 clusters, where the MP2 version features 2 clusters/cores.

The MP2 version is used e.g. in the Mediatek Helio P10 at 700 MHz and performs similar to a Adreno 405 or Mali-T628 with a low core count (e.g. MP2 or MP4). Therfore, only low demanding gaming are suited for the GPU.

In the Helio P10 the GPU is manufactured in 28nm at TSMC.
