Qualcomm Adreno 730 vs ARM Mali-G715 MP7

Qualcomm Adreno 730

► remove from comparison Qualcomm Adreno 730

The Qualcomm Adreno 730 is a smartphone and tablet GPU that is integrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. The chip will be available starting early 2022 and will be used mainly in high-end Android devices. 

According to Qualcomm, the Adreno 730 GPU offers a 30% improved performance thanks to 30% more ALUs over the Adreno 660, its predecessor, which is integrated into the Snapdragon 888 SoC.  Thanks to the new 4nm process, the power efficiency should also be improved.

The Adreno 730 supports Vulkan 1.1, OpenGL ES 3.2, and OpenCL 2.0 FP. 

ARM Mali-G715 MP7

► remove from comparison ARM Mali-G715 MP7

The ARM Mali-G715 MP7 is one of the high-end graphics card and is used in this form for the first time in the smartphones of the Google Pixel 8 series in interaction with the Google Tensor G3. 

The ARM Mali-G715 is based on the fourth generation Valhall architecture and shows improvements in the areas of efficiency and machine learning (ML) in particular. It also masters new features such as variable rate shading, matrix multiply instructions and an improved execution engine.

The performance positions the G715MP7 between the Adreno 725 (Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2) and Adreno 730 (Snapdragon 8 Gen 1) in synthetic benchmarks (3DMark and GFXBench).

Unlike the Immortalis variants, which have at least 10 cores (e.g. Immortalis-G715 MP11), the ARM Mali-G715 MP7 does not support hardware-based ray tracing.

The G715MP7 in the Tensor G3 is manufactured in the current 4nm process at Samsung.
