ARM Mali-G57 MP2 vs Apple A15 GPU 5-Core vs ARM Mali-G57 MP1

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.

Apple A15 GPU 5-Core

► remove from comparison Apple A15 GPU 5-Core

The Apple A15 Bionic 5-core GPU is an integrated graphics card in the higher end versions of the A15 Bionic SoCs. It is used e.g., in the iPhone 13 Pro. It uses all 5 cores in the chip (contrary to the 4-core variant) in the iPhone 13 and 13 Mini.

The A15 GPU with 5-cores is currently the fastest graphics card in smartphones and easily bests e.g. the  older Apple A14 GPU or the Adreno 660.

It is manufactured in the new 5nm process and therefore should be very energy efficient.

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.
