I was just reading about Ouya, the upcoming open source Android based game console, and saw that it will be using a Tegra 3 chip from Nvidia. This got me wondering: what sort of x86 chip with on die graphics would be needed to match Tegra 3?
Low end Ivy Bridge hasn't hit the market yet, and Trinity has yet to hit the market for individual purchasing at all, so only the last generation Llano and Sandy Bridge chips are available for direct comparison and with the context of price. The cheapest processor Intel offers is the Celeron G530 which goes for $49.99 on Newegg, and AMD's least expensive choice is the A4-3300 at $54.99. How do these compare theoretically to Tegra 3?
All in all btw, I figured it would cost about 2 times the cost of Ouya ($110) to build a functionally equal or better PC.
