Qualcomm Adreno 740 vs Qualcomm Adreno 644

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.

Qualcomm Adreno 644

► remove from comparison Qualcomm Adreno 644

The Qualcomm Adreno 644 is a smartphone and tablet GPU that is integrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC. The chip was announced mid 2022 and was available in early 2023 in upper mid-range Android smartphones.

According to Qualcomm, the Adreno 644 GPU offers a 20% improved performance over the Adreno 642, its predecessor, which is integrated in the Snapdragon 780G SoC. This is also thanks to the fast LPDDR5 with 3200 MHz. In our benchmarks with the Mi 13 Lite however, the performance was only on par with the old Adreno 642.

The Adreno 644 supports OpenCL 2.0 FP, OpenGL ES 3.2 and Vulkan 1.1.

The Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 is manufactured in the modern 4nm process with EUV at Samsung that should provide a good power efficiency.
