Qualcomm Adreno 725

► remove from comparison Qualcomm Adreno 725

The Qualcomm Adreno 725 is an integrated graphics unit for smartphones and tablets, which is used in the Snapdragon 7+ Gen. 2 and is designed for smartphones as well as tablets. The associated SoC (system-on-a-chip) was introduced at the beginning of 2023. 

Qualcomm promises a performance increase of up to 100 percent compared with the predecessor Adreno 644.

The Adreno 725 supports all common Android APIs like Vulkan 1.1 and is already prepared for use with the Unreal 5 engine.

Qualcomm Adreno 740

► remove from comparison Qualcomm Adreno 740

The Qualcomm Adreno 740 is a smartphone and tablet GPU that is integrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. The chip will be available starting early 2023 and will be used mainly in high-end Android devices. 

According to Qualcomm, the Adreno GPU offers a 25% improved performance compared to the Adreno 730 predecessor in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. First benchmarks show that the Adreno GPU can even beat the Apple A16 GPU (iPhone 14 Pro series) in synthetic benchmarks. Therefore, the Adreno 740 is the fastest graphics chip for smartphones in 2022.

The iGPU supports hardware accelerated ray tracing and a game post processing accelerator (for bloom, depth of field and motion blur). Another first, is the support for Vulkan 1.3.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is produced in the modern 4nm process at TSMC.
