Qualcomm Adreno 512 vs ARM Mali-G57 MP1

Qualcomm Adreno 512

► remove from comparison

The Qualcomm Adreno 512 is a mobile graphics card for mid-range smartphones and tablets (mostly Android based). It is included in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 SoCs and based on the Adreno 500 architecture (like the Adreno 520 in the S820, which should be fully compatible in software).

According to Qualcomm up to 30% faster than the previous generation (Adreno 510?).

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.

 

ARM Mali-G57 MP1

► remove from comparison ARM Mali-G57 MP1

The ARM Mali-G57 MP1 or MC1 is an integrated mid-range graphics card for ARM based SoCs (mostly Android based). It was introduced mid 2020 in the UniSoc T616 and uses 1 clusters (hence the MC1/MP1 name). 

The G57 is based on the new Valhall architecture and is intended for mainstream phones. 

The GPU supports all modern graphics APIs like OpenGL ES 3.2, Vulkan 1.1, OpenCL 2.0 and Renderscript.
