Qualcomm Adreno 618 vs ARM Mali-G57 MP1

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).

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.
