Apple M2 Pro 16-Core GPU vs ARM Mali-G77 MP11 vs ARM Mali-G68 MP5

Apple M2 Pro 16-Core GPU

► remove from comparison Apple M2 Pro 16-Core GPU

The Apple M2 Pro 16-Core-GPU is an integrated graphics card by Apple offering all 16 of the 19 cores in the M2 Pro 10-Core Chip.

The graphics card has no dedicated graphics memory but can use the fast LPDDR5-6400 unified memory with a 256 bit bus (up to 200 GBit/s).

According to Apple, the performance of the 19-core-GPU should be 30% higher than the old 16-core-GPU in the M1 Pro. Therefore, the cut down 16-core version should still beat the old full-featured 16-core M1 Pro slightly and the old 14-core more clearly.

The GPU is intended to use Apple Metal 2 API and could still be based on the older PowerVR architectures (last used in the Apple A10). A new feature in the MacBook Pro 14 of 2023 is the support for HDMI 2.1 and 8k output.

The Apple M2 Pro is manufactured in the second generation 5nm process at TSMC.

ARM Mali-G77 MP11

► remove from comparison ARM Mali-G77 MP11

The ARM Mali-G77MP11 is an integrated high-end graphics card for ARM based SoCs (mostly Android based). It was introduced early 2020 in the Samsung Exynos 990 (e.g. Galaxy S20 series). It integrates 11 of the 16 possible cores and is based on the Valhal architecture. According to ARM it offers improvements in the machine learning efficiency (+60%), a 30% improved performance and a 30% improved efficiency compared to the previous generation.

The graphics card is one of the fastest in Android devices of 2020 and therefore able to run all games fluently.

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

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.
