ARM Mali-400 MP2 vs PowerVR GE8100 vs ARM Mali-400 MP

ARM Mali-400 MP2

► remove from comparison ARM Mali-400 MP2

The ARM Mali-400 MP4 is an OpenGL ES 2.0 capable GPU for ARM SoCs (System on a Chip). It is primarily designed for tablets and smartphones with mobile operating systems like Android. MP2 is the version with two cores (so called fragment processors) and a vertex processor.

PowerVR GE8100

► remove from comparison

The PowerVR GE8100 by Imagination Technologies is an integrated graphics card for entry level ARM SoCs. Smallest variant of the Series8XE series of GPUs (GE8xx0) with a peak fillrate of only one pixel/clock. Supports OpenGL ES 3.2 and Vulkan 1.0.

ARM Mali-400 MP

► remove from comparison ARM Mali-400 MP

The ARM Mali-400 MP is an OpenGL ES 2.0 capable graphics card for ARM based SoCs (System on a Chip). Therefore, the chip is intended to be used in tablets and smartphones. The graphics card can be scaled from one to four cores (so called fragment processors). Furthermore, it got one vertex processor and should perform slightly below a PowerVR SGX 543MP2 (most likely the top version).
