ARM Mali-T830 MP3 vs ARM Mali-T830 MP1 vs ARM Mali-T830 MP2

ARM Mali-T830 MP3

► remove from comparison ARM Mali-T830 MP3

The ARM Mali-T830 MP3 is an integrated graphics card for smartphones and tablets. It first appeared in the Samsung Exynos 7880 in the beginning of 2017. The chip features three clusters and supports OpenGL ES 3.2, OpenCL 1.2 and DirectX 11 (FL 9_3). 

The performance should be similar to the old ARM Mali-T860 MP2 and therefore all typical Android games should run fluently.

The ARM Mali-T830 MP3 in the Exynos 7880 is manufactured in 14 nm and therefore also suited for smaller smartphones.

ARM Mali-T830 MP1

► remove from comparison ARM Mali-T830 MP1

The ARM Mali-T830 MP1 is an integrated graphics card for smartphones and tablets. The chip features only one cluster (MP1) and supports OpenGL ES 3.2, OpenCL 1.2 and DirectX 11 (FL 9_3). 

ARM Mali-T830 MP2

► remove from comparison ARM Mali-T830 MP2

The ARM Mali-T830 MP2 is an integrated graphics card for smartphones and tablets. It first appeared in the HiSilicon Kirin 650 in the beginning of 2016. The chip features two clusters and supports OpenGL ES 3.2, OpenCL 1.2 and DirectX 11 (FL 9_3). 

The performance should be similar to the old ARM Mali-450 MP4 and therefore non demanding Android games should run fluently.

The ARM Mali-T830 MP2 in the Kirin 650 is manufactured at TSMC at 16nm FF+ and therefore also suited for smaller smartphones.
