Qualcomm Adreno 735 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 A Laptop GPU

Qualcomm Adreno 735

► remove from comparison Qualcomm Adreno 735

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.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 A Laptop GPU

► remove from comparison NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 A Laptop GPU

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 A Laptop GPU (mobile) is a modern Ada Lovelace variant of the RTX 3050 4GB Laptop GPU. However it offers greatly reduced cores (only 1,792) and a small 64 Bit memory bus for 4 GB GDDR6. At the time of release in mid 2024, the GPU was only intended for the Indian market.

The performance should be only similar to the old 4GB RTX 3050 Laptop GPU based on Ampere, due to the lower core count and small memory bus. 

The AD106 / AD107 chip is manufactured on the modern 5nm process at TSMC (4N) and therefore the GPU should offer a better power consumption than the old RTX 3050 variants (based on the Samsung 8N process). The power consumption is rated between 35 and 50 Watt for the 3050 A and therefore suited for thin multimedia laptops.
