I'm not surprised the Adreno numbers didn't hold up as well as the rest of the Snapdragon benchmarks. Back in 2013 the Dolphin team blogged about their terrible experiences with the Adreno drivers and vendor support[1]. Ten years later in 2023, the same team blogged about how those same continuing issues led them to completely replace the official Adreno driver with a userland alternative[2].

As it stands today, the only credible names in ARM SOC GPUs seem to be Apple (M chips) & Nvidia (Tegra chips).

Kudos to the Dolphin website developers for keeping 10+ years of blogs & hyperlinks fully functional and properly tagged. They always produce great reading material!

Can you point to any Tegra data showing that it’s actually competitive with Apple?

I just searched and don’t see that.

I don't have any data. I'm speaking strictly with the knowledge that Tegra X1 powers the Nintendo Switch and that the Nintendo Switch has a broad base of engine support. Normally, if it were a bad platform to work on, I expect that we'd have heard about it by now from third party developers (e.g.: CELL architecture)

I've been out of this space for years, so my knowledge is definitely stale, but have Mali GPUs fallen out?

Mali has decent coverage. The pixel phones use them and so do a lot of mediatek based low-mid range devices.
