IMG BXM-8-256 vs ARM Mali-G57 MP2 vs ARM Mali-G68 MP5

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.

ARM Mali-G57 MP2

► remove from comparison ARM Mali-G57 MP2

The ARM Mali-G57 MP2 (or MC2) is an integrated mid-range graphics card for ARM based SoCs (mostly Android based). It was introduced mid 2021 in the MediaTek Dimensity 700 and uses 2 clusters (hence the MC2/MP2 name). 

The G57 is based on the new Valhall architecture and is intended for mainstream phones. 

The performance of the G57MP2 in our benchmarks is comparable to the Adreno 618.

The GPU supports all modern graphics APIs like OpenGL ES 3.2, Vulkan 1.1, OpenCL 2.0 and Renderscript.

ARM Mali-G68 MP5

► remove from comparison ARM Mali-G68 MP5

The ARM Mali-G68 MP5 (or G68MC5) is an integrated mid-range graphics card for ARM based SoCs (mostly Android based). The MP5 version uses five of the six possible clusters / cores.

It was introduced early 2023 in the Samsung Exynos 1380 SoC. It is based on the Valhall architecture and is advertised by ARM as a "sub-premium GPU". It offers all features of the Mali-G78 series including improvements for battery runtime and machine learning.
