About Hardware NVIDIA GeForce MX350

The NVIDIA GeForce MX350 is an entry-level mobile GPU designed to enhance the graphics experience of mainstream laptop users. Based on the Pascal architecture (GP107) that is also used in the GTX 1050 series, this GPU has 640 CUDA cores and comes with 2GB GDDR5 VRAM, which provides much better graphics performance compared to integrated GPUs such as Intel UHD or Iris Xe Graphics.

MX350 supports DirectX 12, OpenGL 4.6, and NVIDIA Optimus Technology, enabling intelligent transition between integrated and discrete GPUs for power efficiency. Compared to the integrated GPU, the MX350 is capable of running more applications and games with smoother graphics, such as Adobe Photoshop, Premiere Pro, to popular games like Genshin Impact, Valorant, Dota 2, and GTA V at 720p to 1080p resolution with low to medium graphics settings.

While not a GPU for heavy gaming or professional editing, the MX350 still excels in daily multitasking and productivity scenarios, especially on laptops with dual channel RAM like the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 14ITL6 equipped with a Core i5-1135G7 and 12GB DDR4 3200MHz RAM. In this laptop, the combination of Intel Iris Xe Graphics and NVIDIA MX350 allows the system to choose the most efficient GPU for each workload, keeping the battery efficient without sacrificing performance when needed.

Overall, the GeForce MX350 is a well-balanced discrete GPU solution for casual users who want the increased graphics performance of an integrated GPU, but don't need the full power of the GTX or RTX series. This GPU is perfect for students, office workers, or multimedia users looking for a thin and light yet responsive laptop for visual tasks.

About Hardware Qualcomm Adreno 610

Qualcomm Adreno 610 is a mid-range integrated GPU designed to provide an efficient graphics experience on a wide range of Android devices. The GPU is part of Qualcomm's 6th generation graphics architecture family and is commonly found on chipsets such as Snapdragon 665 and Snapdragon 680, which are widely used in mid-range smartphones. With full support for modern graphics APIs such as OpenGL ES 3.2, Vulkan 1.1, and DirectX 12, Adreno 610 offers good compatibility with the latest Android games and apps, ensuring users can enjoy visual content smoothly and responsively.

In terms of graphics performance, Adreno 610 is designed to support gaming experiences up to Full HD 1080p resolution, providing stable frame rates in light to medium games. While graphics-heavy games may require adjustments to low or medium settings, the Adreno 610 is still capable of running most popular titles quite well. Benchmark testing using a Samsung Galaxy A05s device sporting a Snapdragon 680, 6GB RAM, and 128GB UFS storage showed a score of 40,326 points in AnTuTu v10 GPU and 51,397 points in AnTuTu v9 GPU, illustrating decent graphics performance in its class.

In addition, the score of 348 points on Geekbench 6 Compute reflects the GPU's capability in handling light graphics computing and AI tasks such as image processing, augmented reality (AR), and UI optimization. In the 3DMark Sling Shot Extreme benchmark, the Adreno 610 registered 1,484 points, showing solid performance in OpenGL ES 3.1-based graphics processing. The GPU also supports hardware-based video decoding for efficient codecs such as HEVC (H.265) and VP9, allowing users to enjoy high-quality video with low power consumption - ideal for streaming or watching long videos.

With a balance between power efficiency, support for the latest graphics technology, and performance that is capable enough for daily needs, Qualcomm Adreno 610 is the perfect GPU solution for mid-range smartphones that prioritize battery life, casual gaming experience, and smooth multimedia. For users looking for stable performance without sacrificing energy efficiency, Adreno 610 is still a relevant and competitive choice this year.
