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).

PowerVR GE8300

► remove from comparison

The PowerVR GE8300 by Imagination Technologies is an integrated graphics card for mid-range ARM SoCs. It belongs to the Series8XE series of GPUs (GE8xx0) and supports OpenGL ES 3.2, OpenCL 1.2, Android NN HAL API and Vulkan 1.0.

Qualcomm Adreno 630

► remove from comparison

The Qualcomm Adreno 630 is an integrated graphics card in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC for smartphones. It was introduced in early 2018 and can be found in high-end Android smartphones. 

According to Qualcomm 30% faster than the old Adreno 540 in the Snapdragon 835 with 30% less power consumption.
