Balemuni_Apex_v2_UNIVERSAL vs Qualcomm Technologies Inc. Adreno Vulkan Driver
On Adreno (TM) 840 (iQOO 15, LENOVO TB324ZC, nubia NX809J, OnePlus 15, POCO F8 Ultra, Samsung Galaxy S26, Samsung Galaxy S26, Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Xiaomi 2512BPNDAG). The first driver named is compared against the second, which is the baseline.
Not compared: 2 scenes with a paced frame rate (pipeline_barriers, subpasses). At least one of the two drivers was held at a fixed frame rate there, so the two times do not measure the same thing.

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.
