Qualcomm Adreno 618 vs ARM Mali-G57 MP6 vs ARM Mali-G57 MP2

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 MP6

► remove from comparison ARM Mali-G57 MP6

The ARM Mali-G57 MP6 is an integrated mid-range graphics card for ARM based SoCs (mostly Android based). It was introduced mid 2020 in the HiSilicon Kirin 820 and uses 6 clusters (hence the MP6 name). 

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

The performance of the G57MP6 in our benchmarks (in the Kirin 820 / Huawei P40 Lite) is comparable to the Adreno 620 (e.g. Oppo Find X2) and ARM Mali-G72 MP18 (Note10 Lite).

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

ARM Mali-G57 MP2

► remove from comparison ARM Mali-G57 MP2

The ARM Mali-G57 MP2 (or MC2) is an integrated mid-range graphics card for ARM based SoCs (mostly Android based). It was introduced mid 2021 in the MediaTek Dimensity 700 and uses 2 clusters (hence the MC2/MP2 name). 

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

The performance of the G57MP2 in our benchmarks is comparable to the Adreno 618.

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