Qualcomm Adreno 680 vs Qualcomm Adreno 613

Qualcomm Adreno 680

The Qualcomm Adreno 680 is an integrated graphics card in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx SoC for Windows laptops. According to Qualcomm it is 2x faster than the previous Adreno 630 in the Snapdragon 850 for Windows PCs with a 60% improved efficiency (thanks to the 7nm process). The performance should be similar to a Intel UHD Graphics 620 (e.g. in a 8th gen Core i5) when running native ARM64 compiled Windows apps and games. Running emulated 32 bit games (64 bit games compiled for AMD/Intel are not supported), the performance is notably slower.

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.
