Sony Xperia Z Graphics Chip and GPU question - Hardware Hacking General

Hello, i own the Sony xperia z mobile phone. I want to know how many cores or processors the GPU of the phone employs.
As far as i know, the phone has an Adreno 320 Graphics Processing Unit clocked at 400Mhz.
Also i think there are many version of the adreno 320 video chip but some people tell me there is only one.
So i would like more information about the GPU. I also want to know the amount of video ram or video memory or VRAM the graphics chip on this device has to store video memory or pixels/memory for images.
I know that some phones can use the RAM for storing images like a buffer or a cache memory instead of their own video memory using NOP tecchnology.
I know what vram is for. Its like ram but it holds the pictures or pixels info for the pictures the gpu is processing like the hard drive.
However, VRAM is used instead of ram or hard drive to make information processing faster.
So ram was made to store settings and temp data of programs so that they can have faster access.
So just like that there is vram and it may also be on the same chip of the GPU for the adreno 320 video chip.
So, basically i must know the amount of graphics cores or processor the GPU uses and also the amount of video memory it uses to store all of it's graphics or images.
Do you know the scalibility of this gpu and the max frame rate of the gpu. Also does it support open gl 3.0?
Thank you

Adreno 320 inside the Qualcomm S4 Pro & Prime Series,
with unified shader architecture and dual channel
memory. It supports Direct3D feature level 9_3 in
addition to OpenGL ES 3.0, OpenGL ES 2.0, OpenGL ES
1.1, OpenVG 1.1, EGL 1.4, Direct3D Mobile, SVGT 1.2

[Q] 75 FPS score?

I've been watching the preview video @ AndroidCentral I think they have covered the phone quite well.
There Neocore test show a score of 75 FPS - that 20 FPS more than the Samsung SGS/Vibrant.
Since the Samsung SGS/Vibrant comes with a PowerVR SGX 540 chipset (Device Magazine) which is the best out there along with 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 processor - whereas the Droid Pro comes with a PowerVR SGX 530 chipset (Motorola Developer site) how comes this baby is giving out a much better FPS rate?
Would like to hear your experienced views on this!
If you compare it the D2/D2G, DX, and Milestone 2 you will notice that the DP performance is better that those devices despite the same cpu/gpu combo(but less internal memory). So, from what I am reading most of it has to do with the lower HVGA screen vs the VGA screen of all aforementioned devices. Lower screen res means less work for the gpu.

This makes so much sense for improving battery life and plus what's the point on using such high res screens whereas the human eye can perceive only 200dpi.
Just a thought!
Personally I agree. It really makes me mad that I saw all these rave reviews on the Samsung Galaxy S phone's screens, but me personally I can't tell a difference between my Fascinate and my DPro, other than the fact the screen is smaller.
Maybe its time for me to see the eye doctor.

Adreno vs. Snapdragon vs. PowerVR

just wondering which one is the best in terms of performance.!
??
Snapdragon is a CPU not gpu.and it depends on model.for example aderno220 is said to be so powerful but 200is outdated

PowerVR SGX540 > All in terms of single core phones. And I mean all.
And it's fitted in our dear Galaxy S Hummingbird chipset.

Agree.
Not snapdragon maybe you can change it to Tegra.

Lol snapdragon and adreno are two parts of the same processor...
adreno=gpu
that like me comparing apples with oranges and grapes ...
Sorry I don't hve much knowledge about mobile processors.!
My bad...

is it possible to know what kind of PowerVR GPUs installed on my device? SGX 530, 535 or 540? anybody knows a special app to analyze that ?
Sure it is possible. Simply search on gsmarena.com for your phone or download one of the thousand system info apps like this one.
Do you guys think the NovaThor would be good?

I know a bit about the GPU.. it looks epic.
The cpu i'm not 100% sure of.
But i doubt they ignored that part.
Usually the gpu get ignored, so it's looking good for the NovaThor

i got many of them, the most advanced one only shows OpenGL ver or the GPU type (powerVR , Adreno or ...) but never the details such as SGX 530, 535 ,...
on gsmarena find the phone you want to know about, find out the cpu, then google it.. for example google "msm8255 gpu" and you get hundreds of results telling you its the adreno 205..

All about pixels and ram

is there any change in phone with
-change in pixels like 540x960 or 480x 800
-any change is appreciated with pixel density increase or decrease
- for a best phone, RAM must be 1gb or 768mb is considered
-any change in 3d motion of a phone is seen with dual core processor than single core
- 1+ ghz cpu is enough for awesome gaming in our sg3

you can't change the resolution dude, .. but you can change the pixel density by : root explorer --> system --> build.prop --> ro.pixel.density=200
btw,. even in a phone with 768mb ram, you only get 230-240 mb free
by using task killer pro max --> set to ultimate --> reboot --> 200mb free ram = same performance witha device having 768mb ram
and overclocking to 1.2ghz when you play games is more than enough !!

1) yes more pixels mean sharper graphics on your phone. if u compare our phone to a high end one with 800x480 resolution or more there is noticable difference. but after 800x480 resolution , u wont see as much improvment as our eyes arnt micro scopes ;D
2) same as one. if res is more, more pixels are squeezed into the same screen
and the density increases. this makes MUCh sharper and better screen .
3) same as pc. for any device more ram = faster device. ram is high speed temporary storage that a device needs for running. more ram = more memory can be kept in high speed so faster performance.
4) 3d motion and gaming is handled by a gpu (graphics proccessing unit) that is seperate from the cpu. better gpu = better 3d gaming. cpu can be dual core but if gpu is weak 3d performance will reduce. sadly our phone has a weak gpu.
weaker than other phones of even its own price range. if u compare ours to galaxy 5 which is cheaper and has slower proccessor it has better gpu so it plays games better.
5)at 1ghz it plays some hd games smoothly. but still very weak and ur phones starts to get hot. at 1.2ghz it plays many hd games or any game smoothly.
but it is nothing compared to most other phones. the most demanding games still play slowly and stress the phones alot. so dont expect awsome gaming even at 1ghz + .
hope i answered ur questions
hit thanks if i helped

Dual Mali 400 poor visual quality

Hello people,
My tablet has a Dual Mali 400, Cortex A9, 512 MB DDR3 and a 800 * 480 display resolution.
At first, the game menu appears rightly, like this: (please replace [DOT][US] with .us )
imageshack[DOT][US]/a/img18/5295/screenshot2012122316173.png
But, when the game actually begins running, this is what i get:
imageshack[DOT][US]/a/img18/5295/screenshot2012122316173.png
The problem is persistant with all HD games, while some of them work better, but the visual quality is disappointing. Do you know why the HD games won't display properly? Is it because of the poor resolution? Or the number of bits are the concern?
I'll appreciate any help
Waste

Even u had dual mali 400 it waste of gpu because to show HD quality atleast u need tablet with Dual core procesor , HD resolution (1280x720) and 1 GB ram to run smooth with HD android games

FIFA 16

Does this game work smoothly on this phone? Thanks.
I only found videos of someone playing the game on the G4 Plus on youtube. They share the same cpu and gpu I believe.
Yes, they share CPU and GPU, but differ depending on the internal storage and RAM.
