Qualcomm Adreno 620 vs Qualcomm Adreno 613 vs Qualcomm Adreno 642

Qualcomm Adreno 620

► remove from comparison Qualcomm Adreno 620

The Qualcomm Adreno 620 is a mobile graphics card for upper mid-range smartphones and tablets (mostly Android based). It is included in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G and 765 SoCs and based on the Adreno 600 architecture (like the Adreno 630, which should be fully compatible in software).

According to Qualcomm, the Adreno 620 in the 765G is 10% faster than the one in the 765 and 20% faster than the old Adreno 618. In our benchmarks, the Adreno 620 in the Snapdragon 765G even was 25% faster in selected benchmarks, but the faster CPU will also influence the results.

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).

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 642

► remove from comparison Qualcomm Adreno 642

The Qualcomm Adreno 642 is a smartphone and tablet GPU that is integrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 780G SoC. The chip will be available from mid 2021 and will be used mainly in upper mid-range Android devices.

According to Qualcomm, the Adreno 642 GPU offers a 50% improved performance over the Adreno 620, its predecessor, which is integrated in the Snapdragon 768G SoC. This is also thanks to the fast LPDDR4X-4200 memory support of the SoC.

The Adreno 642 supports OpenCL 2.0 FP, OpenGL ES 3.2 and Vulkan 1.1.

The Snapdragon 780G is manufactured in the modern 5nm LPPE process with EUV at Samsung that should provide a good power efficiency.
