Its always hard to get info on Samsung chips GPU, but can someone tell us what is in the T3, it appears to be a single core Mali 400

I must admit to being a little disappointed, all that CPU power but a rather limp and old Graphic system, If it had a multi core or more up-to-date Mail chip it could be a seriously powerful graphics board.

Yes T3's GPU is Mali 400

Thanks for that, is it single core?
MP1?

that didn't actually answer my question

Which is specifically about the GPU which is a Mali 400MP

but is it MP1 or MP2 or more?

I suspect its just an MP1 which is a shame. The 8 cores make this a very powerful CPU, but a single core GPU means it lags far behind the Odroid XU4 with its 6 core Mali T628 when it comes to graphics performance.

It is MP2

Thank you that is useful.
