LG Nexus possible GPU performance

[Cakefish]

So the announcement today by Qualcomm was that Snapdragon 820 won't be ready until early 2016. This rules it out of being the processor of the upcoming Nexus, leaving Snapdragon 620 as the most likely chip to be used by Google.

Qualcomm stated that the Snapdragon 620 will include the Adreno 510 GPU. This is apparently 40% faster than the Adreno 405 included within the Snapdragon 615 according to Qualcomm. So 40% more powerful than Adreno 405 is roughly in the ballpark of the higher-clocked variety of the Adreno 330 included within the Snapdragon 801.

"As for the Adreno 510 that will ship with the Snapdragon 618 and 620, the company isn’t giving detailed or specific performance claims. It told us that these chips should generally also be 40 percent faster and 40 percent more power efficient than their predecessors, the Adreno 405 used in the Snapdragon 610 and 615."

If the SD 820 really won't be ready till next year, the Nexus devices will probably ship with SD 808s, since the 600 series is the mid-range series, and Google will probably continue the high-end phone trend...

it'll be interesting to see what direction they go. personally I think processor speed is way overblown, and it looks better on paper then actual use. I guess it depends what you use your phone for, but personally I won't have a problem with either the 808 or 620. I'd definitely prefer that to the 810. I'm thinking Qualcomm gave One+ a substantial discount on them.

The 620 supposedly benches as well as the 810.

Earlier today, we came across the Snapdragon 620 chipset on a benchmarking website, revealing a few details about its performance. The MSM8952 chipset managed to score pretty good on both the single core as well as multi-core tests. In fact, its scores were quite close to Snapdragon 810 which comes from an even better (800 series) chipset family.
