Qualcomm Adreno 642L vs Qualcomm Adreno 613

Qualcomm Adreno 642L

► remove from comparison Qualcomm Adreno 642L

The Qualcomm Adreno 642L is a smartphone and tablet GPU that is integrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G 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 642L GPU offers a 40% improved performance over the Adreno 620 (compared to the specified +50% of the 642 in the SD 780G), 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 642L supports OpenCL 2.0 FP, OpenGL ES 3.2 and Vulkan 1.1.

The Snapdragon 778G and therefore also the 642L is manufactured in the modern 6nm UEV process at TSMC that should provide a good power efficiency.

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.
