ARM Mali-T720 MP2 vs ARM Mali-T720 MP4

ARM Mali-T720 MP2

► remove from comparison ARM Mali-T720 MP2

The ARM Mali-T720 MP2 is a mobile graphics solution that can be found in ARM SoCs. The chip is available since Q1/2015. Besides OpenGL ES 3.1, the GPU supports OpenCL 1.1 as well as DirectX 11 FL9_3. According to ARM, the Mali-T720 can be scaled from 1 - 8 cores/clusters and clocks up to 650 MHz.

ARM Mali-T720 MP4

► remove from comparison ARM Mali-T720 MP4

The ARM Mali-T720 MP4 (or T724) is a mobile graphics solution found in many ARM SoCs. The chip has been available since Q1/2015 in the Mediatek MT6753 and other low-end SoCs. Besides OpenGL ES 3.1, the GPU supports OpenCL 1.1 and DirectX 11 FL9_3. 

The T720 MP4 offers 4 shader clusters at up to 600 MHz (40.8 GFLOPS). Therefore, the GPU should perform slightly worse than an Adreno 405 or PowerVR G6200. Modern Android games should therefore run fluently in 720p.

The GPU is typically built for smartphone SoCs in 28nm.
