Qualcomm Adreno 690 vs Qualcomm Adreno 730

Qualcomm Adreno 690

► 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 730

► remove from comparison Qualcomm Adreno 730

The Qualcomm Adreno 730 is a smartphone and tablet GPU that is integrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. The chip will be available starting early 2022 and will be used mainly in high-end Android devices. 

According to Qualcomm, the Adreno 730 GPU offers a 30% improved performance thanks to 30% more ALUs over the Adreno 660, its predecessor, which is integrated into the Snapdragon 888 SoC.  Thanks to the new 4nm process, the power efficiency should also be improved.

The Adreno 730 supports Vulkan 1.1, OpenGL ES 3.2, and OpenCL 2.0 FP.
