Qualcomm Adreno 690
► remove from comparison
The Qualcomm Adreno 690 is an integrated graphics card in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 SoC for Windows laptops. According to Qualcomm, the 690 is up to 60% faster than the previous generation. In our tests with the Lenovo ThinkPad X13s, the Adreno 690 was only on par with a low en Intel UHD Graphics iGPU and not well suited for 3D games.
The chip is manufactured in 5nm at Samsung (5LPE) and suited for fanless laptops.
Qualcomm Adreno 644
► remove from comparison
The Qualcomm Adreno 644 is a smartphone and tablet GPU that is integrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC. The chip was announced mid 2022 and was available in early 2023 in upper mid-range Android smartphones.
According to Qualcomm, the Adreno 644 GPU offers a 20% improved performance over the Adreno 642, its predecessor, which is integrated in the Snapdragon 780G SoC. This is also thanks to the fast LPDDR5 with 3200 MHz. In our benchmarks with the Mi 13 Lite however, the performance was only on par with the old Adreno 642.
The Adreno 644 supports OpenCL 2.0 FP, OpenGL ES 3.2 and Vulkan 1.1.
The Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 is manufactured in the modern 4nm process with EUV at Samsung that should provide a good power efficiency.
Qualcomm Adreno 642
