Mali-G31 MP2

The is a significantly superior and more modern GPU compared to the aging Mali-450 . While both are entry-level chips, the Mali-G31 MP2 offers better performance, wider software compatibility, and improved thermal efficiency. Performance Comparison

Mali-G31 MP2

: Supports OpenGL ES 3.2 , Vulkan 1.2 , and OpenCL 2.0 . Mali-450 : Limited to OpenGL ES 2.0 and OpenVG 1.1 .

30-40% less heat

The G31 was built for 12nm and 16nm FinFET processes. FinFET transistors have dramatically lower leakage current. At idle, the G31 MP2 uses microamps, generating almost zero heat. Under load, the advanced process allows the chip to perform the same task as the Mali-450 while emitting roughly .

"malig31 mp2 vs mali450 hot."

Let’s address the keyword:

Winner: Mali-G31 MP2 runs cooler

Because the Mali-450 runs hot so quickly, it frequently hits its thermal junction (usually 85°C) within minutes of gaming. The driver then aggressively throttles the clock speed from 600MHz down to 300MHz, causing lag spikes. This vicious cycle of heat-throttle-lag is the signature "hot" experience users complain about.
