The difference between a PowerVR SGX540/non-underclocked SGX535 and a PowerVR SGX530 is far smaller than the difference between a PowerVR SGX530 and an Adreno 200; there you have it.

With other words, saying the Snapdragon SoC lacks a GPU isn't too far from the truth. Its GPU is sometimes not counted as one, simply because it's too weak.
