ARM Mali-G710 MP7 vs ARM Mali-G78 MP20

ARM Mali-G710 MP7

► remove from comparison ARM Mali-G710 MP7

The ARM Mali-G710 MP7 or MC7 is an integrated high-end graphics card for smartphones with 7 of the 16 possible cores. It is based on the third generation of the Valhall architecture by ARM which offers a 20% higher performance and energy efficiency than the previous generation. We first encountered it in the Google Tensor G2, which is manufactured in 5nm by Samsung.

The theoretical performance of the G710MC7 is about 9% better than the old ARM Mali-G78MC20 in the Tensor G1. Compared to modern high end smartphone GPUs, like the Apple A15 / A16 GPU or the Qualcomm Adreno 730, the G710 MP7 is noticeably slower. Still, modern demanding games like Genshin Impact or PUBG Mobile can be played in 60fps fluently (see below).

ARM Mali-G78 MP20

► remove from comparison ARM Mali-G78 MP20

The ARM Mali-G78MP20 is an integrated high-end graphics card for ARM based SoCs (mostly Android based). It was introduced late 2021 in the Google Tensor SoC. It integrates 20 of the 24 possible cores and is based on the second generation of the Valhal architecture. According to ARM it offers two new features: asynchronous top level and fragment dependency tracking.

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.
