Adreno 530: Snapdragon 820 GPU crushes almost all competition

The Adreno 530 graphics processor that will power the Snapdragon 820 is displayed on GFXBench and shows its impressive performance. All competition in 2015 or so is overtaken by Qualcomm’s new GPU.

Qualcomm announced at the presentation of its Snpadragon 820 last August that its Adreno 530 graphics processor would outperform the current Adreno 430 on the Snapdragon 810, while consuming 40 fewer energy. While it is still a little early to comment on consumption, the first benchmarks on performance are more than encouraging.

The Adreno 530 is therefore logically above the Adreno 430, but also the PowerVR GT7600 of the iPhone 6S Plus, the Mali-T760MP8 GPU of the Galaxy Note 5 or the Huawei Mate 8 and its high performance Mali-T880 MP4. These results are logical as its competitors of the day are 2015 GPUs.

Only the powerful Maxwell GPU of the Tegra X1 present on the Google Pixel C or the Nvidia Shield TV manages to stand up to the Adreno 530. If the Snapdragon 820 looks a little slower at first glance than the Exynos 8890 in the Galaxy S7 on the processor part, we expect to be able to test for ourselves what it gives, including in terms of actual graphics performance on gamebench for example.

Encouraging graphics performance to run Candy Crush on Android in 8K 60 FPS with maximum detail and anti-aliasing thoroughly,all on three curved screens obviously!
