I have just bought a device that claims to have a Mali-T764 GPU but when I look formore information on the Arm site, there is only reference to a Mali-T760.
Does it exist and if so, what is the difference between it and the advertised T760?
Very interesting. Would it then be correct to consider the following true:
Mali T760 MP6 == Mali T766
Mali T760 MP8 == Mali T768
Mali T760 MP10 == Mali T7610
Mali T760 MP16 == Mali T7616
Hi Sean,
They are equivalent. Our marketing material tends to use the former to make it clear that they are all different configurations (MPx) of the same licence-able product (T760).
Hth,

Would it then be correct to consider the following true:
It's possible to license a Mali-T628 - which allows _up to_ 8 cores to be implemented and then only implement 6, so some websites are using the Mali-T628 name to describe a product with an MP6 configuration.
If in doubt check the part-sheet - unfortunately the naming isn't being used consistently.
HTH, Pete
I see, I see.. I find the latter far more communicative, especially considering that the "MPx" portion is often omitted when talking about the Mali GPU in the press. Thus GPUs like the Mali T628 (for example) get reviewed and mentioned as though it was a single GPU and do not take into account the variability of the number of cores. This can hurt the GPU's credibility in low-core configurations.
Just a few thoughts...
Thanks for the clarification! It was helpful.
Very interesting. I'm assuming that this naming also applies to the T6xx line of GPUs as well so it follows that the GPU in the Exynos Galaxy Note 3 could be referred to as a T626 as it has 6-cores (T628 MP6). It's a shame that the names are not being used consistently. Perhaps a new naming convention can be designed that forces correct, consistent use, making Mali a bit easier to grasp for the press and enthusiasts.
Thanks Peter,
Sean
