These are all GPU(Graphic Processing Units).
They are used for optimised and extra graphic quality for images and videos and Games.
Adreno
Adreno series of GPUs are developed by Qualcomm (a leading company in the field of making System on Chip - SoC for android; the snapdragon series of processors belong to this company) and are used in variety of their SoCs.
Adreno GPUs are more battery friendly and do not heat up much. More custom ROMs are available for adreno GPUs and less frame drops are observed in this series of GPUs.
Mali
Mali series of GPUs are developed by Mediatek ( another big company in the field of making SOC) and are used in variety of their SOCs.
Mali GPUs are much infamous for their heating problems and frame drops. More compatibility issues are related to Mali GPUs. For graphics intensive works they should not be your choice but if they are paired up with helio x processor series of mediatek then you can observe some good performance. Mali and mediatek are more inexpensive than other processors and GPUs and so are the phones that exhibit them.
Tegra
Tegra series are developed by Nvidia (the best company in the field of making graphics cards for desktops and laptops) for smartphones and tablets.
But they are not GPUs they are in fact SoCs (CPUs) they integrate an ARM architecture central processing unit (CPU), graphics processing unit (GPU), northbridge, southbridge, and memory controller in one place.
Tegra chips are very powerful for playing high end games. They are also battery friendly as well as expensive and so are the devices that contain them.
PowerVR
Power vr series of GPUs are developed by imagination technologies for desktops but rapid changing market forced them to develop GPUs for smartphones and tablets.
Power vr chips might not be the best battery savers but give excellent results.
Comparison
Adreno GPUs are good at overall performance which means a bit gaming, a bit hd videos but are not made for handling anything in excess but they are better than mali.
Mali are good for low budget graphics performance but don't compare to any of these provided they are bundled with helio or other high performance SOCs.
Tegra SoCs and GPUs are best for gaming as they are made by graphics beast Nvidia but are equally expensive.
Power vr GPUs are better than adreno and Mali but if you are going for excess gaming then nothing can beat tegra GPUs.
