Qualcomm Adreno 643 vs Samsung Xclipse 940 vs Qualcomm Adreno 680

Qualcomm Adreno 643

► remove from comparison Qualcomm Adreno 643

The Qualcomm Adreno 643 is an integrated graphics unit (iGPU) that is used in the Qualcomm QCM6490 and QCS6490. The SoC is not only intended for use in Android-based smartphones and tablets, but also for IoT products with Linux, Ubuntu or Windows 11 IoT Enterprise. In the QCM6490 and QCS6490 the 643 clocks at 812 MHz.

Samsung Xclipse 940

► remove from comparison Samsung Xclipse 940

The Samsung Xclipse 940 is a graphics chip for smartphones and tablets, integrated in the Samsung Exynos 2400 SoC (iGPU). It is based on the AMD RDNA 3 architecture and includes hardware ray tracing support. #

The performance is similar or slightly better than the older Adreno 740 in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.

The Exynos 2400 is the first Exynos processor to use a Fan-out Wafer Level Package (FOWLP) to boost thermal management.

The SoC is manufactured in the 4nm process at Samsung.

Qualcomm Adreno 680

► remove from comparison

The Qualcomm Adreno 680 is an integrated graphics card in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx SoC for Windows laptops. According to Qualcomm it is 2x faster than the previous Adreno 630 in the Snapdragon 850 for Windows PCs with a 60% improved efficiency (thanks to the 7nm process). The performance should be similar to a Intel UHD Graphics 620 (e.g. in a 8th gen Core i5) when running native ARM64 compiled Windows apps and games. Running emulated 32 bit games (64 bit games compiled for AMD/Intel are not supported), the performance is notably slower.
