ARM Mali-G57 MP1 vs Qualcomm Adreno 685 vs Qualcomm Adreno 642L

ARM Mali-G57 MP1

► remove from comparison ARM Mali-G57 MP1

The ARM Mali-G57 MP1 or MC1 is an integrated mid-range graphics card for ARM based SoCs (mostly Android based). It was introduced mid 2020 in the UniSoc T616 and uses 1 clusters (hence the MC1/MP1 name). 

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

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

Qualcomm Adreno 685

► remove from comparison Qualcomm Adreno 685

The Qualcomm Adreno 685 is an integrated graphics card in the Microsoft SQ1 ARM-based SoC. It is similar to the Adreno 680 in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx SoC for Windows laptops but higher clocked and therefore with a higher theoretical performance (2 versus 1.8 TFlops).

Qualcomm Adreno 642L

► remove from comparison Qualcomm Adreno 642L

The Qualcomm Adreno 642L is a smartphone and tablet GPU that is integrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G SoC. The chip will be available from mid 2021 and will be used mainly in upper mid-range Android devices.

According to Qualcomm, the Adreno 642L GPU offers a 40% improved performance over the Adreno 620 (compared to the specified +50% of the 642 in the SD 780G), its predecessor, which is integrated in the Snapdragon 768G SoC. This is also thanks to the fast LPDDR4X-4200 memory support of the SoC.

The Adreno 642L supports OpenCL 2.0 FP, OpenGL ES 3.2 and Vulkan 1.1.

The Snapdragon 778G and therefore also the 642L is manufactured in the modern 6nm UEV process at TSMC that should provide a good power efficiency.
