Qualcomm Adreno 690 vs Samsung Xclipse 950 vs Samsung Xclipse 920

Qualcomm Adreno 690

► remove from comparison Qualcomm Adreno 690

The Qualcomm Adreno 690 is an integrated graphics card in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 SoC for Windows laptops. According to Qualcomm, the 690 is up to 60% faster than the previous generation. In our tests with the Lenovo ThinkPad X13s, the Adreno 690 was only on par with a low en Intel UHD Graphics iGPU and not well suited for 3D games.

The chip is manufactured in 5nm at Samsung (5LPE) and suited for fanless laptops.

Samsung Xclipse 950

► remove from comparison Samsung Xclipse 950

The Samsung Xclipse 950 is a graphics chip for smartphones and tablets, integrated in the Samsung Exynos 2500 SoC. It is based on an RDNA 3 architecture including ray tracing support. It uses 8 WGPs (compared to 6 in the previous generation Xclipse 940) and offers 28% faster ray tracing in hardware.

The Exynos 2500 is manufactured in the 3nm GAA process at Samsung.

Samsung Xclipse 920

► remove from comparison Samsung Xclipse 920

The Samsung Xclipse 920 GPU is an integrated graphics card in the Samsung Exynos 2200 SoC that is used in Android based smartphones and tablets. It was introduced in some models of the Galaxy S21 line. The iGPU is the first that uses an architecture by AMD (RDNA 2, like the Radeon 660M in the Ryzen 6000 chips). Current information from Geekbench ML points to 3 CUs (=192 shaders).

The performance is slightly below current high end iGPUs for phones like the Adreno 730 (Snapdrageon 8 Gen 1) or Apple A15 GPU, but still sufficient for all mobile games in 2022.

The Xclipse 920 is produced in the modern 4nm EUV process at Samsung (as its integrated in the Exynos 2200).
