Adreno 530 (Snapdragon 820 GPU) benchmarked, competition crushed

04 February, 2016
Current phone-sized GPUs lag behind, only the iPhone 6s Plus and its PowerVR come close.

Makes me even more excited on what Apple would do for the A10, or even the A10X.

    iPhone is not even FHD

        i dont care if it andreno, qualcom, a9, exynos or whar ever the he!! it is
        as long as it give the best price per performance for me, as costomer

          These scores have been on GFXBench for quite some time, but yes, they are quite impressive! I expect that the Exynos 8890 will perform similarly to the Snapdragon 820, and will be extremely competitive in real-world applications -- the Exynos's Mali has the advantage of computationally-free MSAA (for forward rendering) and on-chip deferred rendering (eliminating external bandwidth for deferred rendering).

          Both chips should be very strong. It's amazing to see how far mobile chips have come!

          I'm also very interested to see if Nvidia follows up their Tegra line. I really appreciate that Tegra targets the power profile of high-end tablets and sub-notebooks, giving their APs a performance advantage over chips targeting phones.

                if qualcomm doesnt mess up and the OEMs dont hash up i think SD820 will be the default high end SoC for android 2016 it seems so balanced on paper i just wish there wont be throttling and unhandles issues with this upcoming chipset if i go any flagship phone it just must be SD 820 it even silences the powervr7600 offered by current apple SoC. nicely done qualcomm.

                      EXYNOS 8890 will win in overall performance

                        I had a good feeling about SD820

                          Anandtech reviewed the 820 a long time ago already.

                            It may have been a mistake for Samsung to use the same chip that LG is going to use in the G5...unless however they also intend to give us external battery/SD card with the S7...
