Qualcomm Adreno 530 vs Qualcomm Adreno 302 vs Qualcomm Adreno 308

Qualcomm Adreno 530

► remove from comparison Qualcomm Adreno 530

The Qualcomm Adreno 530 is an integrated graphics card for (mostly Android based) smartphones and tablets. It was introduced in the last quarter of 2015 and is integrated in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC. It supports OpenGL ES 3.1 and DirectX 11.1.

The GPU uses a still unknown amount of unified shaders clocked at up to 624 MHz. In 2015 it belongs to the fastest GPU for smartphones. Compared to the predecessor Adreno 430, the 530 is especially faster in demanding benchmarks.

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.

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.
