Detailed specifications
Qualcomm Adreno 685's specs such as number of shaders, GPU base clock, manufacturing process, texturing and calculation speed. These parameters indirectly speak of Qualcomm Adreno 685's performance, but for precise assessment you have to consider its benchmark and gaming test results.
| Manufacturing process technology | 7 nm | of 3 nm (Arc Graphics 140V) |
| Power consumption (TDP) | 7 Watt | of 2400 Watt (Data Center GPU Max Subsystem) |
VRAM capacity and type
Parameters of memory installed on Qualcomm Adreno 685: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Note that GPUs integrated into processors have no dedicated memory and use a shared part of system RAM instead.

Synthetic benchmark performance of Qualcomm Adreno 685. The combined score is measured on a 0-100 point scale.
Combined synthetic benchmark score
This is our combined benchmark score.
Passmark
This is the most ubiquitous GPU benchmark. It gives the graphics card a thorough evaluation under various types of load, providing four separate benchmarks for Direct3D versions 9, 10, 11 and 12 (the last being done in 4K resolution if possible), and few more tests engaging DirectCompute capabilities.
3DMark 11 Performance GPU
3DMark 11 is an obsolete DirectX 11 benchmark by Futuremark. It used four tests based on two scenes, one being few submarines exploring the submerged wreck of a sunken ship, the other is an abandoned temple deep in the jungle. All the tests are heavy with volumetric lighting and tessellation, and despite being done in 1280x720 resolution, are relatively taxing. Discontinued in January 2020, 3DMark 11 is now superseded by Time Spy.
