ARM Mali-T760 MP2 vs Qualcomm Adreno 540

ARM Mali-T760 MP2

The ARM Mali-T760 MP2 is a mobile graphics solution for (mostly Android based) smartphones and tablets. The chip is available since Q1/2015 and for example integrated in the MediaTek MT6752 SoC. Besides OpenGL ES 3.1, the GPU supports OpenCL 1.1 as well as DirectX 11. According to ARM, the Mali-T760 can be scaled from 1 - 16 cores/clusters.

The MP2 version offers 2 clusters clocked at up to 700 MHz (48 GFLOPS). Therefore, it only offers one third of the theoretical performance of the T760MP6 version. The gaming performance should be similar to the Adreno 405 or PowerVR G6200. Therefore, it is situated in the middle class in 2014 and all games of that year should run fluently.

Due to the only 2 cores, the GPU is also suited for small tablets and smartphones.

Qualcomm Adreno 540

The Qualcomm Adreno 540 is an integrated graphics card in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC for smartphones. It was introduced in early 2017 and can be found in high-end Android smartphones. 

The integrated GPU is based on the optimized architecture of the Adreno 530, but features clearly improved clock speeds (710 versus 624 MHz according to Anandtech) and better thermal stability. This is also thanks to the new 10 nm process the Snapdragon 835 is produced in. In the reference smartphone from Qualcomm, the Adreno 540 is able to beat or perform at a similar level as the fastest smartphone graphics cards on the market (e.g. the ARM Mali-T880MP12, ARM Mali-G71MP8 or Apple A10 GPU). Therefore, it should be perfectly suited for demanding 3D gaming and also mobile VR and 4K displays.
