About Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) Android
This time I will explain about the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) that masterminded the graphics performance on our Android devices. 'GPU' principle works the same with a Video Graphics Adapter (VGA) on PC / Computer.
in this article open question "What Mean Adreno, PowerVR, Mali, Tegra, Video Core Broadcomm, ?" - Go Android Market
GPU also plays an important role when we used to play Android games class 3D High Definition (HD) video or high quality. Well, for Teknokerz (Go Android Market) that often play games or graphics processing, this article can help you all about the GPU used in Android devices, respectively. . The following are the types of GPU in Android to be installed to help the performance of the CPU or the graphics processor in the process:

1. GPU 'Adreno' partner QUALCOMM processor

Adreno series which is made ​​in the current ATI AMD subsidiary ATI imageon first called series, circa 2002-2004 is the initial release of awa-series GPU's. In 2008, AMD imageon sold to one of the leading manufacturers of processors, namely Quallcom. And now, ATI / AMD only supports the architecture and development alone. Adreno series is now innate of all SOC (System On Chip) made ​​Quallcom.
more detail about the Adreno http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_%28system_on_chip%29
List device like 
Samsung: I9001 Galaxy S Plus – Galaxy Mini S5570 – Galaxy Ace S5830 – Galaxy Gio S5660 – Galaxy Fit S5670
HTC: Google Nexus One – EVO 3D – Wildfire S – Incredible S – Legend – Hero – Desire – Desire S – Desire HD – Desire Z
Sensation – Sensation 4G – Sensation XL – Sensation XE
Sony Ericsson: Xperia Arc S – Xperia Arc – Xperia ray – Xperia pro – Xperia Play – Xperia Neo – Xperia Neo V – Xperia Mini
Xperia Mini pro – Xperia X8 – Xperia X10 – Xperia X10 Mini – Xperia X10 Mini pro – Live with Walkman
LG: LG Optimus One P500)

2. PowerVR

PowerVR is a video series of artificial logic also once enliven VGA market, but as the dominance of NVIDIA and ATI, video logic now only play in the world of mobile gadgets GPU. PowerVR sndiri not in production in finished form by the logic power but they only make the draft architecture which sold the license to a variety of leading manufacturers such as NEC processor, Intel, Freescale, Texas Instruments and others.

PowerVR series itself has now reached 6 series, 2 of his series on a console game ever worn in the 1900s, the Sega Dream cast and saturn. PowerVR SGX Series 5 series which is most commonly found in smartphones, SGX GPU 5 itself is elite in the world of smartphones, might be in the world like BMW cars listed J.Seri SGX been used in a variety of smartphones and gadgets following:

a. SOC A4/SGX535 (iPhone 4/ipod gen4/ipad)
b. Hummingbird/SGX540 clock SOC 200 (Samsung Galaxy S)
c. OMAP SOC series 3/SGX530 (Droid X, Motorola Defy, Samsung Galaxy SL, Motorola Mile 2, Droid 2 and LG Optimus Black)
d. Intel GMA 500 ​​and GMA 600 also uses SGX535 as onboard VGA intel atom
e. The next 5-series variants are SGXMP (MP here indicates the number of cores) OMAP SOC 4 (4430) / SGX540MP quadcore clocked 300 (Blackberry Playbook, LG Optimus 3D).
f. SOC A5/SGX543MP2 (iPad 2).
g. SGX543MP4, which is used in the Playstation Vita.
h. In addition to the series next god, SGX544MP + will be distinguished mnggunakan OMAP 5 dual quadcore CPU A15 (eagle platform) + dual CPU Cortex-M4 processor cores clocked with up to 2 GHz.

LG: LG Optimus 3D P920 – Optimus Black P970 – Optimus Black White version

Motorola: MILESTONE – MILESTONE 2 – DEFY – ATRIX 2 – MILESTONE XT720 – RAZR XT910 – DROID RAZR MAXX – DROID RAZR XT912

3. Mali

Mali series, this GPU is made ​​in the ARM architecture, though still rarely heard his name, but its power can not be underestimated. Mali GPU series began circulating of HDTV, game console (PS3), up to a smartphone. Especially for smarphone, the series used is 400MP4 Mali (MP is a core indicator used). This GPU is part of the SOC A9 Exynos 1.2GHz dual-core CPU Samsung's Galaxy S II. Mali is reportedly capable 400MP4 renders almost equivalent PS3 and Xbox 360.

4. NVIDIA TEGRA

Series Geforce ULP (Ultra Low Power) are concentrated in parts of GPUs Tegra 2 SOC manufactured by NVIDIA. The ULP Geforce 4 Quadcore uses pixel shaders + 4 vertex shaders up to a total of 8 cores that are in it.

* to determine which GPU is used in android device, you must install the standard quadrant / application MARKET birds of a feather in a lot then go to system information
* GPU ALSO AFFECTED BY PROCESSOR
PROCESSOR ALSO KNOW WHAT THE APPLICABLE ARMv6 / ARMv7
ARMv7 better support many applications / games and further optimize the GPU (check use quadrant standard or Antutu benchmark / similar applications)
* usually used ARMv6 ARMv7 whereas low end android from low to high end

Low end class
-Adreno 130
-Adreno 200
-PowerVR SGX530

Mid-end class
-PowerVR SGX531 (including the class to low end depending on the processor)
400 regular-mali (which is usually used in tablet2 china)
IV-core video
-Adreno 200 enchanced / Adreno 200 + +
-Adreno 203
-Adreno 205
-PowerVR SGX535
PowerVR SGX540-clock 200
-nvidia Tegra 2

High-end class
-Nvidia Tegra 3
-PowerVR SGX543MP2
-PowerVR SGX543MP4
-PowerVR SGX544MP3 (Tri-Core) (s4 galaxy and iphone 5)
-Mali 400MP2
-mali 400MP4
-Adreno 220
-Adreno 225
-Adreno 305
-Adreno 320
-Adreno 330

FAQ:
Q: What is the difference with the Adreno 200 GPU Adreno 200 + / enchanced?
A: Check under
"Q: what difference the same Adreno 200 Adreno 200 Enhanced?
Now it pretty much who use Adreno 200 Enhanced (ex HTC Desire V, VT, VC), what is due to its ability between Adreno 200 & 205?
why his name is not Adreno 202.5?
A: yup ability seems at between 200 and 205 friends,
enchanced said it might be the clock speed on the Adreno 200 which is overclocked, so named enchanced. or perhaps architecture is used in 200 different enchanced with the old 200"
Q: What is the difference mali gpu used in the SGS II with SGS III or other device?
A: clockspeed her friends try to check in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exynos
