Adreno 530

The Adreno 530 from Qualcomm is a GPU used on mobile phones and tablets. This to process the graphics and video on the table or phone. These tend to be mainly Android based mobile phones and tablets. The Adreno 530 is a good GPU and we have tested them against others in its class to see how the GPU performs against others.

Adreno 530

The Adreno 530 was introduced late in 2015 and had been integrated on the Snapdragon 820 system on chip. The GPU supports both OpenGL ES 3.1 and DirectX 11.1. We don’t know how many shaders the GPU uses however it does clock at 624 MHz and it was at the time of its release one of the fastest GPUs’ on the market.

The Adreno 530 GPU, found in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 and Snapdragon 821 System-on-chips (SOCs), is an Integrated Graphics Processor. Transitioning to its features and capabilities: Firstly, it utilizes the 14nm FinFET fabrication, a notable improvement over its predecessor, the Adreno 430. This enhancement contributes to its increased power efficiency.

Moreover, this GPU supports the Vulkan Graphics Rendering API, which is also implemented in Android Nougat, offering advanced graphics capabilities. In terms of DirectX compatibility, the Adreno 530 supports Version 11.2 and Direct3D Version 12, providing support for a wide range of DirectX applications.
