ARM Mali-G78 MP22 vs IMG BXM-8-256 vs ARM Mali-G57 MP6

ARM Mali-G78 MP22

► remove from comparison ARM Mali-G78 MP22

The ARM Mali-G78MP22 is an integrated high-end graphics card for ARM based SoCs (mostly Android based). It was introduced late 2020 in the HiSilicon Kirin 9000E (e.g. Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6). It integrates 22 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.

IMG BXM-8-256

► remove from comparison Imagination IMG BXM-8-256

The Imagination IMG BXM-8-256 is an integrated graphics card for ARM-SoCs. It first appeared in the mid-range MediaTek Dimensity 930 (6nm) clocked at up to 900 MHz. The iGPU is based on the B-Series architecture that should be about 30% more power efficient than the previous generation (PowerVR). According to Imagination the BXM-8-256 MC1 (single core) offers 8 texels / clock and 256 FP32 / clock. The wavefront width is 128 Bit.

The GPU supports OpenGL ES 3.X, Vulkan 1.3, OpenCL 3.0, and Android NN HAL.

ARM Mali-G57 MP6

► remove from comparison ARM Mali-G57 MP6

The ARM Mali-G57 MP6 is an integrated mid-range graphics card for ARM based SoCs (mostly Android based). It was introduced mid 2020 in the HiSilicon Kirin 820 and uses 6 clusters (hence the MP6 name). 

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

The performance of the G57MP6 in our benchmarks (in the Kirin 820 / Huawei P40 Lite) is comparable to the Adreno 620 (e.g. Oppo Find X2) and ARM Mali-G72 MP18 (Note10 Lite).

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