Qualcomm Adreno 308 vs ARM Mali-T830 MP2 vs ARM Mali-T880 MP2

Qualcomm Adreno 308

► remove from comparison Qualcomm Adreno 308

The Qualcomm Adreno 308 is an integrated graphics unit for smartphones and tablets that is used for mainstream SoCs of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 425-series. Like the other Adreno 30x GPUs, the Adreno 308 most likely also features 24 ALUs (unified shaders). More information on the architecture of the A3xx series can be found on github.com.

ARM Mali-T830 MP2

► remove from comparison ARM Mali-T830 MP2

The ARM Mali-T830 MP2 is an integrated graphics card for smartphones and tablets. It first appeared in the HiSilicon Kirin 650 in the beginning of 2016. The chip features two clusters and supports OpenGL ES 3.2, OpenCL 1.2 and DirectX 11 (FL 9_3). 

The performance should be similar to the old ARM Mali-450 MP4 and therefore non demanding Android games should run fluently.

The ARM Mali-T830 MP2 in the Kirin 650 is manufactured at TSMC at 16nm FF+ and therefore also suited for smaller smartphones.

ARM Mali-T880 MP2

► remove from comparison ARM Mali-T880 MP2

The ARM Mali-T880 MP2 is a mobile graphics solution that can be found in ARM SoCs like the Mediatek Helio P20 SoC for Android based smartphones and tablets. The chip is available since Q1/2016 and supports OpenGL ES 3.1, OpenCL 1.2 and DirectX 11.2 (FL 11_2). The Mali-T880 can be built with 1 to 16 clusters, where the MP2 version features 2 clusters/cores.
