Panvk-Mali-G57-3.0 vs Mali-G52 MC2
On Mali-G52 MC2 (HONOR X5c, HONOR X5c, Infinix HOT 60i, Oppo A18, Oppo A38, realme RMX3710, Redmi 12, Redmi 12C, Redmi 14C, Redmi 15C, TECNO POVA 3, TECNO SPARK 20, Xiaomi 24049RN28L). The first driver named is compared against the second, which is the baseline.

Small areas of the picture differ from the stock driver in 2 scenes (compute_nbody: 4 of 2304 cells, pipeline_barriers: 1623 of 2304 cells). The picture matches overall, so this is a local rendering fault, not a different scene.

Speed test scenes (benchmark)
The two drivers were not measured on the same set of device models. Frame times from different devices do not compare drivers, so read these numbers with that in mind.
