Qualcomm Adreno 740 vs Qualcomm Adreno 732 vs Qualcomm Adreno 735

Qualcomm Adreno 740

► remove from comparison Qualcomm Adreno 740

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 732

► remove from comparison Qualcomm Adreno 732

The Qualcomm Adreno 732 is an integrated graphics unit that is used in the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 and is designed for smartphones and tablets. The associated SoC (system-on-a-chip) was introduced in March 2024 and can be found in many Android-based products in the upper mid-range and premium class.

According to rumors Qualcomm clocks the graphics chip at up to 950 MHz and uses two pipelines.

The performance is slightly above the Adreno 730 and below the 735 in our tests (as the name also suggests).

The Adreno 732 supports Vulkan 1.3, OpenGL ES 3.2, OpenCL 2.0 and DirectX 12.1. AI upscaling should make it possible to increase frame rates and improve the efficiency of some graphic effects without any major battery load.

Qualcomm Adreno 735

► remove from comparison Qualcomm Adreno 735

The Qualcomm Adreno 735 (Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 GPU) is an integrated graphics unit (iGPU) for smartphones and tablets. The associated SoC (system-on-a-chip), the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 was unveiled at the end of 2023 and can be found in Android-based high-end devices in 2024.

According to initial benchmarks, the GPU's performance is between the Adreno 730 in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and the Adreno 740 in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.

The GPU supports hardware-accelerated ray tracing and a game post processing accelerator (Bloom, Depth of Field, Motion Blur is accelerated). The following graphics APIs are supported: OpenGL ES 3.2, OpenCL 2.0 FP, Vulkan 1.3.
