The Qualcomm Adreno 740 is a smartphone and tablet GPU that is integrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. The chip will be available starting early 2023 and will be used mainly in high-end Android devices.
According to Qualcomm, the Adreno GPU offers a 25% improved performance compared to the Adreno 730 predecessor in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. First benchmarks show that the Adreno GPU can even beat the Apple A16 GPU (iPhone 14 Pro series) in synthetic benchmarks. Therefore, the Adreno 740 is the fastest graphics chip for smartphones in 2022.
The iGPU supports hardware accelerated ray tracing and a game post processing accelerator (for bloom, depth of field and motion blur). Another first, is the support for Vulkan 1.3.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is produced in the modern 4nm process at TSMC.
AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100

The AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 is a professional workstation graphics card for laptops. It was announced early 2017 and is intended for Kaby-Lake based professional high-end notebooks. The AMD Radeon Pro (formerly known as FirePro) is the counterpart to the Quadro series from Nvidia and offers certified drivers for professional 3D applications (CAD and DCC).
The WX7100 is based on the Polaris 10 or 20 chip and offers 2304 shaders like the older AMD Radeon RX 480 (Polaris 10) or newer Radeon RX 580 (Polaris 20).

The AMD Radeon Pro WX 4150 is a professional workstation graphics card for laptops. It was announced early 2017 and is intended for Kaby-Lake based professional notebooks. The AMD Radeon Pro (formerly known as FirePro) is the counterpart to the Quadro series from Nvidia and offers certified drivers for professional 3D applications (CAD and DCC).
The WX4150 is based on the Polaris 11 or 21 chip and offers 896 shaders like the older AMD Radeon RX 460. Due to the higher clock speed compared to the Radeon Pro 400 GPUs in the MacBook Pro (800 - 900 MHz), we suspect the use of the newer Polaris 21 chip, that is manufactured in an improved 14nm (LPP+) process and allows the chip to be clocked higher.
