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 ARM Mali-T860 MP2
Mali-T860 MP2 is ARM's mid-range mobile graphics processing unit (GPU) consisting of 2 shader cores. This GPU is designed to deliver better power efficiency compared to previous generations such as Mali-T760, while still maintaining sufficient graphics performance for daily needs. Mali-T860 MP2 is widely used in older chipsets such as MediaTek MT6750 and Samsung Exynos series 7, and is found in many popular Android devices of its time, such as OPPO F1s, Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime, and other devices.
With support for modern graphics standards such as OpenGL ES 3.1, Vulkan 1.0, as well as RenderScript and OpenCL 1.2, the Mali-T860 MP2 is capable of running a wide range of Android applications with a smooth interface, stable HD video playback, and light to medium games with adequate performance. While not designed for heavy gaming or intensive 3D-based applications, this GPU is still an ideal choice for an efficient and stable light multitasking experience, especially on devices with HD or HD+ displays.
In tests on devices like the OPPO F1s (refurbished) with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, the GPU was able to handle activities like browsing, social media, and video streaming without a hitch. The combination of decent graphics performance and energy efficiency keeps the Mali-T860 MP2 relevant for entry-level devices that are still in use today.
