Qualcomm Adreno 320

► remove from comparison

The Qualcomm Adreno 320 is a GPU for smartphones and tablets that is integrated into Qualcomm SoCs. It was introduced in the end of 2012 and was primarily used for Android devices. The graphics card uses a technology called FlexRender. It can switch "intelligently" switch between TBR (TBR Tile Based Renderer) and the classic direct rendering. 

The Adreno 320 has Unified Shaders and supports OpenGL ES 3.0. The performance compared to the Adreno 200-series is supposed to be improved by the factor 3-4. 

The Adreno 320 is used in Snapdragon S4 SoCs like the AQP8064.

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.
