Qualcomm Adreno 710 vs Qualcomm Adreno 650 vs Qualcomm Adreno 720

Qualcomm Adreno 710

► remove from comparison Qualcomm Adreno 710

The Adreno 710 is a graphics unit for smartphones and tablets, which was first installed in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2. The chip has been available since the end of 2023 and is primarily used in Android-based upper mid-range devices.

HDR gaming with 10-bit color depth is possible with the graphics chip, which supports the APIs OpenGL ES 3.2, OpenCL 2.0 FP and Vulkan 1.13.

The GPU is able to control FHD+ displays with up to 144 Hz and offers support for HDR10 and HDR vivid.

Qualcomm Adreno 650

► remove from comparison Qualcomm Adreno 650

The Qualcomm Adreno 650 is a smartphone and tablet GPU that is integrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865, 865+ and 870 SoCs. The chip will be available from early 2020 and will be used mainly in high-end Android devices. The base clock speed of the GPU is 250 MHz and the boost depends on the used SoC. For the 865 it is 587 MHz, the 865 Plus increased to 846 MHz and the 2021 870 reached 670 MHz.

According to Qualcomm, the Adreno 650 GPU offers a 25% improved performance over the Adreno 640, its predecessor, which is integrated into the Snapdragon 855 SoC. The enhanced performance is achieved by the Adreno 650 having 50% more compute units (ALUs) than the Adreno 640. Furthermore, the clock speed of the pixel shaders was also increased by 50%.

The performance in our first benchmarks of a reference system positions itself above the ARM Mali-G76 MP16 and e.g. in 3DMark Sling Shot Extreme even on the top spot. In GFXBench only the Apple A13 GPU is able to best the Adreno 650 (regarding smartphone GPUs).

As a novelty, the GPU driver can be updated in the Android Play Store. Furthermore, some features are running under the Elite Gaming brand (e.g., 144 Hz display support, desktop forward rendering). 

The Adreno 650 supports Vulkan 1.1, DirectX 12, OpenGL ES 3.2, and OpenCL 2.0 FP. Furthermore, games and videos can use HDR10+ and Dolby Vision (with a supported display). The 650 supports 2 displays with up to 4K 60 Hz / QHD+ 144 Hz.

The Adreno 720 is a graphics unit for smartphones and tablets, which was first used in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 was installed. The chip was introduced at the end of 2023 and is primarily used in Android-based upper mid-range devices.

HDR gaming with 10-bit color depth is possible with the graphics chip, and the Adreno 720 also supports the APIs OpenGL ES 3.2, OpenCL 2.0 FP and Vulkan 1.3.

The GPU is capable of driving WFHD+ displays at up to 168 Hz and 4K displays at 60 Hz and offers support for HDR10+, HLG and Dolby Vision.
