ARM Mali-G57 MP3 vs Qualcomm Adreno 505 vs ARM Mali-G68 MP2

ARM Mali-G57 MP3

► remove from comparison ARM Mali-G57 MP3

The ARM Mali-G57 MP3 is an integrated mid-range graphics card for ARM based SoCs (mostly Android based). It was introduced mid 2020 in the MediaTek Dimensity 800U and uses 3 clusters (hence the MC3/MP3 name). 

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

The performance of the G57MP3 in our benchmarks (in the MediaTek Dimensity 800U / Realme 7 5G) is comparable to the Adreno 620.

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

Qualcomm Adreno 505

► remove from comparison

The Qualcomm Adreno 505 is a mobile graphics card for mid-range smartphones and tablets (mostly Android based). It is included in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 / 435 SoCs and based on the Adreno 500 architecture (like the Adreno 520 in the S820, which should be fully compatible in software).

The GPU supports modern standards like Vulkan 1.0 (according to Wikipedia), OpenGL ES 3.1 + AE (3.2 in other sources), OpenCL 2.0 and DirectX 12 (FL 12.1 according to Wikipedia, 11.1 according to Qualcomm). Furthermore, the GPU supports Universal Bandwidth Compression (UBWC) to save memory bandwidth. Compared to the faster Adreno 506, the 505 is manufactured in the older 28nm process and offers less raw performance.

ARM Mali-G68 MP2

► remove from comparison ARM Mali-G68 MP2

The ARM Mali-G68 MP2 (or G68MC2) is an integrated mid-range graphics card for ARM based SoCs (mostly Android based). The MP2 version uses two of the six possible clusters / cores.

It was introduced mid 2021 in the Samsung Exynos W920 for smartwatches. 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.
