PowerVR G6430 vs Qualcomm Adreno 613 vs Qualcomm Adreno 610

PowerVR G6430

► remove from comparison Imagination PowerVR G6430

The PowerVR G6430 from Imagination Technologies is a fast mobile graphics solution that is used in ARM SoCs like the Apple A7 (iPhone 5S). The chip is available since Q3/2013 and is one of the fastest solutions of its class at the time of the introduction.  

Architecture and Performance

The GPU is based on the series 6 (Rogue) and integrates four clusters with two TMUs each and a scalar Unified Shader architecture. The chip does offer more than twice of the performance compared to the SGX543MP3 from the Apple A6, while maintaining the same clocks. The exact clock is not yet confirmed unequivocally, but it should be north of 400 MHz (results in more than 100 GFLOPS). A comparison with other mobile graphics solutions shows that the G6430 is just slightly behind the tablet version of the Adreno 330 and it is therefore the fastest GPU of its class at the time of the introduction. Even very demanding mobile games can be played without problems (as of 2013). Among others, the GPU supports OpenGL 3.x/4.x, OpenGL ES 3.0 as well as DirectX 10.

Energy Consumption

The manufacturer designed the PowerVR G6430 as a comparatively "wide" chip to achieve a high performance and a high energy efficiency at the same time. As a result, SoCs with the G6430 can also be used in smaller smartphones like the iPhone 5S. However, it does occupy a comparatively large area on the chip in return.

Qualcomm Adreno 613

► remove from comparison Qualcomm Adreno 613

The Adreno 613 is an entry-level graphics card, which is integrated in the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2. It is intended for use in low-cost smartphones.

The performance is on a par with the ARM Mali-G52 MP2 (e.g. Helio G85) and is just ahead of the Adreno 612 in the Snapdragon 678. Although it is the successor to the Adreno 619 in the SD 4 Gen 1, the performance is significantly lower.

It works with a maximum clock frequency of 955 MHz and is manufactured in the 4 nm process at Samsung (in the SD 4 Gen 2). It supports common graphics APIs such as OpenCL 2.0, OpenGL ES 3.2 and Vulkan 1.1.

Qualcomm Adreno 610

► remove from comparison

The Qualcomm Adreno 610 is a mobile graphics card for mid-range smartphones and tablets (mostly Android based). It is included in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 SoCs and based on the Adreno 600 architecture (like the Adreno 630, which should be fully compatible in software).

In synthetic benchmarks, the Adreno 610 positions itself between the old Adreno 510 and Adreno 512 / 612

The GPU supports modern standards like Vulkan 1.0 (according to Wikipedia), OpenGL ES 3.2, OpenCL 2.0 and DirectX 11 (FL 11_1).
