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.
The Adreno 720 is a graphics unit for smartphones and tablets, which was first used in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 was installed. The chip was introduced at the end of 2023 and is primarily used in Android-based upper mid-range devices.
HDR gaming with 10-bit color depth is possible with the graphics chip, and the Adreno 720 also supports the APIs OpenGL ES 3.2, OpenCL 2.0 FP and Vulkan 1.3.
The GPU is capable of driving WFHD+ displays at up to 168 Hz and 4K displays at 60 Hz and offers support for HDR10+, HLG and Dolby Vision.
The Qualcomm Adreno 750 is an integrated graphics unit that is used in the Snapdragon 8 Gen. 3 and is designed for smartphones and tablets. The associated SoC (System-on-a-Chip) was introduced in October 2023 and can be found in many Android-based high-end products of the year 2024.
Qualcomm promises a performance increase of up to 25% over its predecessor, the Adreno 740, as well as a 25 % improvement in efficiency. The Adreno 750 can now additionally adjust frame rates to within 1 Hz (QSnyc), which should improve power consumption once again.
With Snapdragon Elite Gaming, games are now possible at up to 240 FPS and the Adreno Frame Motion Engine 2.0 is now said to be able to accelerate games that are limited to 60 FPS to 120 FPS. Upscaling for games in 8k should also be possible.
The Adreno 750 supports all common Android APIs and is already prepared for use with the Unreal 5 Lumens.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is manufactured in the current 4nm process at TSMC.
