Inside Qualcomm’s Adreno 530, a Small Mobile iGPU
GPU architectures vary drastically depending on their primary use cases. Mobile designs like Qualcomm’s Adreno face a daunting set of challenges, with smaller power and area budgets than even Intel’s iGPUs. Mobile SoCs have to share a small SoC die with a CPU, modem, DSP, ISP, and often a NPU. Within those constraints, Adreno has to drive games at screen resolutions rivaling that of desktop monitors. For example, the LG G6 has a 2880×1440 screen.
To get a grasp on how mobile GPUs tackle these ch...
