Qualcomm Adreno 508 vs Qualcomm Adreno 302

Qualcomm Adreno 508

► remove from comparison

The Qualcomm Adreno 508 is a mobile graphics card for mid-range smartphones and tablets (mostly Android based). It is included in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 SoCs and based on the Adreno 500 architecture (like the Adreno 520 in the S820, which should be fully compatible in software).

The GPU supports modern standards like Vulkan 1.0 (according to Wikipedia), OpenGL ES 3.1 + AE (3.2 in other sources), OpenCL 2.0 and DirectX 12 (FL 12.1 according to Wikipedia, 11.1 according to Qualcomm). Furthermore, the GPU supports Universal Bandwidth Compression (UBWC) to save memory bandwidth.

According to Qualcomm "up to 30% faster graphics rendering than previous designs". 

Qualcomm Adreno 302

► remove from comparison Qualcomm Adreno 302

The Qualcomm Adreno 302 is an integrated graphics card for smartphones and tablets that is used for entry-level SoCs of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 series (e. g. MSM8210). The Adreno 302 is a slightly lower clocked version of the Adreno 305. Very demanding Android games of 2013 may not run completely smooth, but simple titles like Angry Birds and the usual multimedia tasks are no problem. The GPU offers unified shaders and supports OpenGL ES 3.0, OpenCL and DirectX 9.3.
