Apple A15 GPU 4-Core vs Vivante GC7000UL

Apple A15 GPU 4-Core

► remove from comparison Apple A15 GPU 4-Core

The Apple A15 Bionic 4-core GPU is an integrated graphics card in the entry level A15 Bionic SoCs. It is used e.g., in the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Mini. 

Compared to the older Apple A14 GPU, it offers only slight performance improvements but its still faster than the fastest graphics cards in Android based smartphones (e.g. Adreno 660).

It is manufactured in the new 5nm process and therefore should be very energy efficient.

Vivante GC7000UL

► remove from comparison

The Vivante GC7000UL is an integrated low end GPU for ARM based smartphones and tablets. It is mostly used for Android based devices and the performance should be similar to the Adreno 305. It is used in the Marvell Technology Group Armada PXA1908 SoC (e.g. in the Samsung Galaxy Xcover 3).

The 3D performance is only suited for low resolution screens. In our review of the Xcover 3 for example Asphalt 8 ran fluently in high detail settings.
