IMG BXM-8-256 vs Qualcomm Adreno 644 vs Qualcomm Adreno 643

IMG BXM-8-256

► remove from comparison Imagination IMG BXM-8-256

The Imagination IMG BXM-8-256 is an integrated graphics card for ARM-SoCs. It first appeared in the mid-range MediaTek Dimensity 930 (6nm) clocked at up to 900 MHz. The iGPU is based on the B-Series architecture that should be about 30% more power efficient than the previous generation (PowerVR). According to Imagination the BXM-8-256 MC1 (single core) offers 8 texels / clock and 256 FP32 / clock. The wavefront width is 128 Bit.

The GPU supports OpenGL ES 3.X, Vulkan 1.3, OpenCL 3.0, and Android NN HAL.

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.

Qualcomm Adreno 643

► remove from comparison Qualcomm Adreno 643

The Qualcomm Adreno 643 is an integrated graphics unit (iGPU) that is used in the Qualcomm QCM6490 and QCS6490. The SoC is not only intended for use in Android-based smartphones and tablets, but also for IoT products with Linux, Ubuntu or Windows 11 IoT Enterprise. In the QCM6490 and QCS6490 the 643 clocks at 812 MHz.
