ARM Mali-G68 MP5 vs Qualcomm Adreno 642 vs ARM Mali-G57 MP3

ARM Mali-G68 MP5

► remove from comparison ARM Mali-G68 MP5

The ARM Mali-G68 MP5 (or G68MC5) is an integrated mid-range graphics card for ARM based SoCs (mostly Android based). The MP5 version uses five of the six possible clusters / cores.

It was introduced early 2023 in the Samsung Exynos 1380 SoC. It is based on the Valhall architecture and is advertised by ARM as a "sub-premium GPU". It offers all features of the Mali-G78 series including improvements for battery runtime and machine learning.

Qualcomm Adreno 642

► remove from comparison Qualcomm Adreno 642

The Qualcomm Adreno 642 is a smartphone and tablet GPU that is integrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 780G SoC. The chip will be available from mid 2021 and will be used mainly in upper mid-range Android devices.

According to Qualcomm, the Adreno 642 GPU offers a 50% improved performance over the Adreno 620, its predecessor, which is integrated in the Snapdragon 768G SoC. This is also thanks to the fast LPDDR4X-4200 memory support of the SoC.

The Adreno 642 supports OpenCL 2.0 FP, OpenGL ES 3.2 and Vulkan 1.1.

The Snapdragon 780G is manufactured in the modern 5nm LPPE process with EUV at Samsung that should provide a good power efficiency.

ARM Mali-G57 MP3

► remove from comparison ARM Mali-G57 MP3

The ARM Mali-G57 MP3 is an integrated mid-range graphics card for ARM based SoCs (mostly Android based). It was introduced mid 2020 in the MediaTek Dimensity 800U and uses 3 clusters (hence the MC3/MP3 name). 

The G57 is based on the new Valhall architecture and is intended for mainstream phones. 

The performance of the G57MP3 in our benchmarks (in the MediaTek Dimensity 800U / Realme 7 5G) is comparable to the Adreno 620.

The GPU supports all modern graphics APIs like OpenGL ES 3.2, Vulkan 1.1, OpenCL 2.0 and Renderscript.
