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 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
