Qualcomm Adreno 735 vs Apple A16 GPU 5-Core vs Qualcomm Adreno 732
Qualcomm Adreno 735
► remove from comparison
The Qualcomm Adreno 735 (Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 GPU) is an integrated graphics unit (iGPU) for smartphones and tablets. The associated SoC (system-on-a-chip), the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 was unveiled at the end of 2023 and can be found in Android-based high-end devices in 2024.
According to initial benchmarks, the GPU's performance is between the Adreno 730 in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and the Adreno 740 in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
The GPU supports hardware-accelerated ray tracing and a game post processing accelerator (Bloom, Depth of Field, Motion Blur is accelerated). The following graphics APIs are supported: OpenGL ES 3.2, OpenCL 2.0 FP, Vulkan 1.3.
Apple A16 GPU 5-Core
► remove from comparison
The Apple A16 Bionic 5-core GPU is an integrated graphics card in the Apple A16 Bionic SoCs (used in the 2022 Apple iPhone 16 Pro models). According to Apple, the iGPU offers a 50% increased memory bandwidth thanks to the switch from LPDDR4X to LPDDR5.
In first benchmarks, the A16 GPU is around 19 percent faster than the previous generation (A15 5-core GPU) and therefore currently the fastest graphics card for smartphones (e.g. clearly faster than the Adreno 730 in the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1).
The A16 is produced in the new 4nm process at TSMC and should be very energy efficient.
Qualcomm Adreno 732
► remove from comparison
The Qualcomm Adreno 732 is an integrated graphics unit that is used in the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 and is designed for smartphones and tablets. The associated SoC (system-on-a-chip) was introduced in March 2024 and can be found in many Android-based products in the upper mid-range and premium class.
According to rumors Qualcomm clocks the graphics chip at up to 950 MHz and uses two pipelines.
The performance is slightly above the Adreno 730 and below the 735 in our tests (as the name also suggests).
The Adreno 732 supports Vulkan 1.3, OpenGL ES 3.2, OpenCL 2.0 and DirectX 12.1. AI upscaling should make it possible to increase frame rates and improve the efficiency of some graphic effects without any major battery load.
