► remove from comparison Qualcomm Adreno 690

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 710

The Adreno 710 is a graphics unit for smartphones and tablets, which was first installed in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2. The chip has been available since the end of 2023 and is primarily used in Android-based upper mid-range devices.

HDR gaming with 10-bit color depth is possible with the graphics chip, which supports the APIs OpenGL ES 3.2, OpenCL 2.0 FP and Vulkan 1.13.

The GPU is able to control FHD+ displays with up to 144 Hz and offers support for HDR10 and HDR vivid.
