ARM Mali-G72 MP12 vs Qualcomm Adreno 630 vs ARM Mali-G76 MP10

ARM Mali-G72 MP12

► remove from comparison ARM Mali-G72 MP12

The ARM Mali-G72 MP12 is an integrated high-end graphics card for ARM based SoCs (mostly Android based). It was introduced in October 2017 in the Huawei Mate 10 and uses 12 clusters (hence the MP12 name). In our benchmarks it performs between a Adreno 530 and 540 and is therefore suitable for demanding mobile games.

The G72 is based on the second generation of the Bifrost architecture and offers improvements in the machine learning efficiency and a bigger tile buffer for 16x anti-aliasing.

The GPU supports all modern graphics APIs like OpenGL ES 3.2, Vulkan 1.0, OpenCL 2.0, DirectX 12 FL11_1 and Renderscript.

Qualcomm Adreno 630

► remove from comparison

The Qualcomm Adreno 630 is an integrated graphics card in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC for smartphones. It was introduced in early 2018 and can be found in high-end Android smartphones. 

According to Qualcomm 30% faster than the old Adreno 540 in the Snapdragon 835 with 30% less power consumption.

ARM Mali-G76 MP10

► remove from comparison ARM Mali-G76 MP10

The ARM Mali-G76 MP10 is an integrated high-end graphics card for ARM based SoCs (mostly Android based). It was introduced in late 2018 in the Kirin 980 (e.g. Mate 20 Pro). It integrates 10 of the 20 possible cores and is based on the second generation of the Bifrost architecture. According to ARM it offers improvements in the machine learning efficiency and a bigger tile buffer for 16x anti-aliasing. Compared to the old Mali-G72, the G76 should offer twice the performance per cluster. Therefore, the G76MP10 should be slightly faster than the G72MP18 e.g. in the Exynos 9810 (Galaxy S9).

The GPU supports all modern graphics APIs like OpenGL ES 3.2, Vulkan 1.0, OpenCL 2.0, DirectX 12 FL11_1 and Renderscript.
