NVIDIA Tegra X1 Maxwell GPU vs Qualcomm Adreno 740 vs Qualcomm Adreno 750
NVIDIA Tegra X1 Maxwell GPU
► remove from comparison
The NVIDIA Tegra X1 Maxwell GPU is an integrated graphics card in the NVIDIA Tegra X1 SoC for (mostly Android based) tablets. It is the successor of the Tegra K1 GPU and based on the Maxwell architecture. It offers the same features as the laptop and desktop Maxwell based products like OpenGL 4.5, CUDA 6.0, OpenGL ES 3.1 and DirectX 11.2. The GPU offers 256 shader cores (2 SMMs) and clocks at up to 1000 MHz. The memory interface offers a maximum bandwidth of 25.6 GB/s (2x 32 Bit LPDDR4-3200).
First benchmarks of the Tegra X1 graphics card using GLBench show twice as high scores as the PowerVR GXA6850 in the Apple A8X. Therefore, the X1 should be the fastest GPU for Android based devices that should not struggle with high end Android games in high resolutions.
The improved video part of the SoC is able to en- and decode 4K videos in H.265 according to Nvidia (decoding at 60fps, encoding at 30fps). Thanks to HDMI 2.0 support, the 4K60 material can be transmitted to external displays (2 displays in parallel at max). The integrated dual ISP is able to drive up to 6 cameras (max. 100 MP, 4096 focus points) at once.
The power consumption of the whole SoC should be rather big compared to other ARM based SoCs. Therefore, Tegra X1 based smartphones are unlikely. As the Tegra K1, the X1 will be most likely seen in tablets with good cooling solutions. Similar to the Apple A8X, the Tegra X1 is manufactured in 20nm.
Qualcomm Adreno 740
► remove from comparison
The Qualcomm Adreno 740 is a smartphone and tablet GPU that is integrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. The chip will be available starting early 2023 and will be used mainly in high-end Android devices.
According to Qualcomm, the Adreno GPU offers a 25% improved performance compared to the Adreno 730 predecessor in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. First benchmarks show that the Adreno GPU can even beat the Apple A16 GPU (iPhone 14 Pro series) in synthetic benchmarks. Therefore, the Adreno 740 is the fastest graphics chip for smartphones in 2022.
The iGPU supports hardware accelerated ray tracing and a game post processing accelerator (for bloom, depth of field and motion blur). Another first, is the support for Vulkan 1.3.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is produced in the modern 4nm process at TSMC.
Qualcomm Adreno 750
► remove from comparisonThe Qualcomm Adreno 750 is an integrated graphics unit that is used in the Snapdragon 8 Gen. 3 and is designed for smartphones and tablets. The associated SoC (System-on-a-Chip) was introduced in October 2023 and can be found in many Android-based high-end products of the year 2024.
Qualcomm promises a performance increase of up to 25% over its predecessor, the Adreno 740, as well as a 25 % improvement in efficiency. The Adreno 750 can now additionally adjust frame rates to within 1 Hz (QSnyc), which should improve power consumption once again.
With Snapdragon Elite Gaming, games are now possible at up to 240 FPS and the Adreno Frame Motion Engine 2.0 is now said to be able to accelerate games that are limited to 60 FPS to 120 FPS. Upscaling for games in 8k should also be possible.
The Adreno 750 supports all common Android APIs and is already prepared for use with the Unreal 5 Lumens.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is manufactured in the current 4nm process at TSMC.
