The Apple A15 Bionic 5-core GPU is an integrated graphics card in the higher end versions of the A15 Bionic SoCs. It is used e.g., in the iPhone 13 Pro. It uses all 5 cores in the chip (contrary to the 4-core variant) in the iPhone 13 and 13 Mini.
The A15 GPU with 5-cores is currently the fastest graphics card in smartphones and easily bests e.g. the older Apple A14 GPU or the Adreno 660.
It is manufactured in the new 5nm process and therefore should be very energy efficient.
The ARM Mali-G52 MP1 (or G52MC1) is an integrated mid-range graphics card for ARM based SoCs (mostly Android based Tablets). It was introduced mid 2020 in the MediaTek MT8168 with a clock speed of up to 800 MHz.
The G52 is based on the Bifrost architecture and is intended for mainstream phones. ARM claims that the G52 series offers 30% more performance density and 15% better energy efficiency compared to the ARM Mali G51 series.
The performance of the G52MP2 in our benchmarks (in the MediaTek MT8168) is clearly below the G52 MP2 version in the entry level. That means its not well suited for demanding 3D Android games like PUBG Mobile.
The GPU supports all modern graphics APIs like OpenGL ES 3.2, Vulkan 1.0, OpenCL 2.0 and Renderscript.
The ARM Mali-G68 MP5 (or G68MC5) is an integrated mid-range graphics card for ARM based SoCs (mostly Android based). The MP5 version uses five of the six possible clusters / cores.
It was introduced early 2023 in the Samsung Exynos 1380 SoC. It is based on the Valhall architecture and is advertised by ARM as a "sub-premium GPU". It offers all features of the Mali-G78 series including improvements for battery runtime and machine learning.

Game Benchmarks
The following benchmarks stem from our benchmarks of review laptops. The performance depends on the used graphics memory, clock rate, processor, system settings, drivers, and operating systems. So the results don't have to be representative for all laptops with this GPU. For detailed information on the benchmark results, click on the fps number.
