About Hardware IMG PowerVR Rogue GE8320 680MHz

The PowerVR GE8320 is Imagination Technologies' Rogue architecture-based integrated GPU embedded in the MediaTek Helio P35 (MT6765) SoC. The GPU comes with two shader clusters and runs at a frequency of up to 680 MHz, delivering good power efficiency and sufficient performance for lightweight graphics needs in entry-level smartphones.

With support for modern graphics APIs such as OpenGL ES 3.2, Vulkan 1.0, and OpenCL 1.2, the PowerVR GE8320 is capable of running a variety of multimedia applications and light games on Android devices. While not ideal for intensive 3D games or professional graphics applications, this GPU still provides a smooth user experience in everyday activities such as video playback, social media, browsing, and light multitasking.

This GPU is used in entry-level devices like the OPPO A5s and OPPO A15s, which feature 3/32GB and 4/64GB RAM and storage configurations, respectively. In a 30°C ambient temperature test using a DHT11 sensor, devices with this GPU showed fairly stable thermal performance. Using the OPPO A15s is more recommended for testing and using the latest apps due to its higher operating system support (Android 10), while some apps no longer support Android 8.

In synthetic testing, the PowerVR GE8320 recorded the following benchmark results:

• 3DMark Ice Storm: 10,470 points
• 3DMark Sling Shot Extreme: 404 points
• AnTuTu v9 (GPU score): 12,248 points
• Geekbench 4 Compute: 3,284 points

These benchmark results show that the PowerVR GE8320 is capable of handling basic graphics quite well, but it is not intended for heavy graphics workloads. This GPU is ideal for use in devices with HD screen resolutions that are focused on battery efficiency and a smooth daily usage experience.

Hardware Detail:

Device: OPPO A5s & OPPO A15s.
Device Specs: MediaTek MT6765, 3/32 (A5s), 4/64 (A15s), Android 8 (A5s), Android 10 (A15s).
Room Temperature: 30°C based on DHT11 Sensors.

* I use the OPPO A15s device as an addition to the Imagination PowerVR Rogue GE8320 680MHz hardware, because some applications do not support devices with Android 8 version

About Hardware Intel HD Graphics 520 (Mobile)

Intel HD Graphics 520 is an integrated GPU used in 6th generation Intel Core processors (Skylake), such as the Intel Core i5-6300U found in many business laptops and ultrabooks. It has 24 Execution Units (EUs) with speeds up to 1.0 GHz, offering sufficient graphics performance for light to medium computing needs in the portable device class.

As part of the Skylake architecture, the HD Graphics 520 supports DirectX 12, OpenGL 4.5, and Vulkan 1.0, which makes it flexible enough to run a wide range of modern applications. The GPU is also equipped with hardware acceleration for H.265/HEVC video decoding, making it suitable for high-resolution video playback, including 4K content. The power efficiency of this architecture makes it ideal for use in high-mobility laptops like the Lenovo ThinkPad T470, which rely on long-lasting battery performance.

Compared to previous generations such as the Intel HD Graphics 5000 (Haswell), the HD Graphics 520 comes with improved graphics performance and better power efficiency. Although still in the entry-level GPU class, the HD 520 is capable of running light games such as League of Legends, Dota 2, and Minecraft at 720p to 1080p resolution with low to medium graphics settings. For activities such as light graphic design, multitasking, and daily office use, this GPU provides a smooth and responsive experience.

In a device like the Lenovo ThinkPad T470, the HD Graphics 520 is paired with 8GB of single-channel DDR4 RAM, which while it could still be optimized with dual-channel, is enough to support productive user activities. The Windows 10 operating system also works very well with this generation of Intel graphics drivers, which continue to receive compatibility and performance updates from Intel.

Overall, the Intel HD Graphics 520 offers integrated graphics performance that strikes a balance between power efficiency and multimedia capabilities. It is suitable for office workers, students, and business laptop users who need stability and modern technology support without the need for a discrete GPU.

Hardware Detail:

Device: Lenovo ThinkPad T470
CPU: Core i5-6300U
RAM: 8GB DDR4 Single Channel
OS: Windows 10
