iPad’s A5X Against Nvidia’s Tegra 3
During the new iPad announcement Apple’s VP Phil Schiller made it clear that Apple’s new A5X chip was much faster than the latest Nvidia’s Tegra 3 chipset. which believed to be the cutting edge of mobile technology.
Australian tech blogger Ritchie has put the claim to the test by doing a side-by-side video comparison of the new iPad and the Tegra 3-powered ASUS Transformer Prime.
The results, while not as dramatic as Apple’s claims of 4 times the graphics processing power of the Tegra 3, do show conclusively that the A5X chip that sports dual-core CPU and quad-core GPU trounces the quad-core, 12-core graphics Tegra 3. Apple once again showing that raw specifications don’t necessarily make for a better experience.
Watch the results for yourself below:
