Qualcomm Adreno 725 vs Qualcomm Adreno 680

Qualcomm Adreno 725

► remove from comparison Qualcomm Adreno 725

The Qualcomm Adreno 725 is an integrated graphics unit for smartphones and tablets, which is used in the Snapdragon 7+ Gen. 2 and is designed for smartphones as well as tablets. The associated SoC (system-on-a-chip) was introduced at the beginning of 2023. 

Qualcomm promises a performance increase of up to 100 percent compared with the predecessor Adreno 644.

The Adreno 725 supports all common Android APIs like Vulkan 1.1 and is already prepared for use with the Unreal 5 engine.

Qualcomm Adreno 680

► remove from comparison

The Qualcomm Adreno 680 is an integrated graphics card in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx SoC for Windows laptops. According to Qualcomm it is 2x faster than the previous Adreno 630 in the Snapdragon 850 for Windows PCs with a 60% improved efficiency (thanks to the 7nm process). The performance should be similar to a Intel UHD Graphics 620 (e.g. in a 8th gen Core i5) when running native ARM64 compiled Windows apps and games. Running emulated 32 bit games (64 bit games compiled for AMD/Intel are not supported), the performance is notably slower.
