What is a GPU?

The mobile GPU is a dedicated co-processor designed to render graphics on apps, user interfaces as well as 3D content on your smartphones, wearables and IoT devices.

Every image, graphics or games that is played or will be played on your phone is rendered by the GPU.

GPU Manufacturers

The following companies make GPUs for mobile devices. They are:

• Apple (Apple Bionic GPU)
• Qualcomm (Adreno)
• ARM (Mali GPU)
• Imagination tech (PowerVR)
• AMD + Samsung (Xclipse)
• Nvidia (Tegra)
• Vivante
• Videocore

The bottom three have been phased out of the mobile GPU market.

Apple and Adreno GPUs usually perform better than other GPUs. This is because the companies that make them ensures that games and apps are optimized for them.

Mali GPUs are the most GPUs in use today and also pack the most impressive hardware. However, optimization and heating issues tend to plague them and this limits their overall performance.

GPU classes

I have ranked the GPUs into 6 classes: A, B, C, D, E and F.

• A class GPUs are the best GPUs on the market. They can render any graphic or play any game. They are usually found on flagships.
• B class GPUs are also very good and can render most games or apps but they’re a step below the A class. They are found on upper midrangers.
• C class GPUs are good for many games but not all. They certainly won’t support games like Grid Autosports, NBA 2K or Fortnite. Leaving games at mid or low settings with GPUs like this will help their performance. You can find them on lower midrangers.
• D class GPUs are mostly found on budget phones. They can support many games at mid or low settings but that’s it. They won’t play top tier games at all.
• E class GPUs are not meant for anything other than casual gaming e.g. Temple run or subway surfers. Anything higher and you’re looking for trouble.
• F class GPUs: It would be amazing if you can still find any of these in good working condition, never mind playing games.
