In this comparison block, you should pay attention to the differences in clock speed and the number of cores. Also keep in mind that high CPU frequency affects battery life through power consumption.

GPU and Media

GPU	Adreno 610	PowerVR GE8320
GPU Frequency	750 MHz	650 MHz
GFloPS	312	126.8
# of Cores		2
# of Shader Units	192
Display	1600 x 900 pixels	1600 x 720 pixels

The frequency of the GPU does not always directly indicate its performance. To fully evaluate all the capabilities of a graphics chip, you should take into account the number of Shader Units and Cores, as well as how many GFlops it has.
