The Chipset
Mobile phones run on so-called embedded chipsets, which are designed to perform one or a few dedicated functions, often with real-time computing constraints.They are embedded as part of the complete device including hardware and mechanical parts.
The ever popular smartphones are equipped with more advanced embedded chipsets that can do many different tasks depending on their programming.
Thus their CPU (Central Processing Unit) performance is vital for the daily user experience and people tend to use the clock rate of the main CPU that's in the heart of the chipset to compare the performance of competing end products.
The clock rate of a processor is only useful for providing performance comparisons between computer chips in the same processor family and generation.
As mobile gaming is increasingly gaining popularity, users have become more aware of the various types of GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) chips that come as part of the mobile chipsets and sometimes even consider their performance when making buying decisions.
CPU (Central Processing Unit)
Also known as a processor - is an electronic circuit that can execute computer programs. Both the miniaturization and standardization of CPUs have increased their presence far beyond the limited application of dedicated computing machines.
The clock rate is one of the main characteristics of the CPU when performance is concerned. Clock rate is the fundamental rate in cycles per second (measured in hertz, kilohertz, megahertz or gigahertz) for the frequency of the clock in any synchronous circuit.
Engineers are working hard to push the boundaries of the current architectures and are constantly searching for new ways to design CPUs that tick a little quicker or use slightly less energy per clock. This produces new cooler CPUs that can run at higher clock rates.

Clock rates can be very misleading. Clock rates should not be used when comparing different computers or different processor families. Rather, some kind of software benchmarks should be used.

The performance of the CPU that's at the core of the chipset is vital for the daily user experience and the general computing performance of the smartphone.
Graphics Processing Unit
The GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is a specialized circuit designed to accelerate the image output in a frame buffer intended for output to a display.
Modern smartphones are equipped with advanced embedded chipsets that can do many different tasks depending on their programming. GPUs are an essential part of those chipsets and as mobile games are pushing the boundaries of their capabilities, the GPU performance is becoming increasingly important.
Below is a list of top 10 GPUs you will find in most smartphones:
1. Adreno 330
Right now adreno 330 is the world fastest gpu for mobile phone. It is inbuilt in Snapdragon™ 800 Series Processors. Its speed can push to 3.6 gig pixels per seconds that’s why it is the fastest gpu for android in the world right now. So we can clearly say that it is the number one GPU available in market for android.
2. SGX544mp3
The SGX544MP3 a clock speed of 533 MHz.
3. SGX554mp4
It has almost the same performance as SGX554mp4. This graphical processing unit is quad core but still Sgx544mp3 is slight better than this.
4. Adreno 320
Qualcomm has announced that this GPU using new and very high performance coding architecture and it’s 4 times better than adreno 225.
5. Mali T604
First time it was used in Exynos 5 and Mali t604 is the 1st Midgard architecture GPU for arm. It is 5 times better than other previous mali graphic processors and it can go to single core to quad core.
6. SGX543mp3
This graphic processor has 3 core as its shows in its model name mp3. This GPU performing on higher clock frequency than SGX543mp2.
7. Adreno 305
Adreno 305 is single core graphic processor but better than all the previous GPU made in adreno series.
8. Adreno 225
Adreno 225 has used in msm8960 chipset with unified shader architecture and its supports dx9. Adreno 225 and 220 almost same but there is little difference in performance due to clock frequency speed. Adreno 225 runs on 400MHz whiles Adreno 220 run on 266MHz.
9 Mali 400
It is the most used GPU for budget tablet and budget mobiles. The graphical performance of this GPU is capable of running some casual games.
10 Adreno 220
It's inbuilt in MSM8260 /MSM8660 chipset the adreno claim that it can perform 88m triangles per/s. It is also a nice GPU for budget phone and it can play casual games like angry bird and temple run etc. The adreno also claim that adreno 220 performance 2 times better than adreno 205.
