Qualcomm Adreno 530 vs Qualcomm Adreno 644 vs Qualcomm Adreno 618

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 644

► remove from comparison Qualcomm Adreno 644

The Qualcomm Adreno 644 is a smartphone and tablet GPU that is integrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC. The chip was announced mid 2022 and was available in early 2023 in upper mid-range Android smartphones.

According to Qualcomm, the Adreno 644 GPU offers a 20% improved performance over the Adreno 642, its predecessor, which is integrated in the Snapdragon 780G SoC. This is also thanks to the fast LPDDR5 with 3200 MHz. In our benchmarks with the Mi 13 Lite however, the performance was only on par with the old Adreno 642.

The Adreno 644 supports OpenCL 2.0 FP, OpenGL ES 3.2 and Vulkan 1.1.

The Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 is manufactured in the modern 4nm process with EUV at Samsung that should provide a good power efficiency.

Qualcomm Adreno 618

► remove from comparison

The Qualcomm Adreno 618 is a mobile graphics card for upper mid-range smartphones and tablets (mostly Android based). It is included in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 730 and 730G SoCs and based on the Adreno 600 architecture (like the Adreno 630, which should be fully compatible in software).

In our benchmarks, the Adreno 618 in the Snapdragon 730 was 14 to 30% faster than the Adreno 616 in the Snapdragon 710. The performance in the 730G should be additional 15% faster, due to higher clock rates.

The GPU supports modern standards like Vulkan 1.0 (according to Wikipedia), OpenGL ES 3.2, OpenCL 2.0 and DirectX 11 (FL 11_1).
