ooooooooo

very curious about the GPU

although not super fair to compare it with phones, and it will obviously be faster in a multithreaded benchmark.
 
As much as I'm interested in the Transformer Prime, a lot of that picture is pretty much useless. All it really does is show off the fact that we're dealing with a quad-core A9 CPU.

What I looked at first was the graphics, and while I'm mostly eye balling it, the 3D graphics section doesn't look any bigger than devices #2-5. Now, this either means two things... (1) the GPU isn't nearly as fast as we've been hoping, or (2) it's being capped by V-Sync.

I don't know the benchmark used, but I'd probably bet on #2.

3D score looks to be twice what you get on Tegra 2, in the Xoom.

The problem is that it's the equivalent (as far as the eye can see) of phones #2-5. These devices already get spanked by the SGX543MP2. :\ I was personally hoping the Tegra 3 would have a rather powerful GPU in it (along the same lines as the 543).

I'm giving nVidia a little benefit of the doubt though, and that's why I said I think it's an issue with the benchmark.

is antutu benchmark resolution dependent or independent?

That's along the lines of what I was wondering. I mean... I assume that they would want to use the same benchmark that Anandtech does that allows them to skirt by the VSync and common resolution issues.

I think so, it shows the Nexus as having a GPU as good as the SGS2. Capped.

Yep. The SGS2 in that bench is confirmed to be a Exynos. Though curios why only the T Prime has it's core count listed. 1 benchmark not enough to gouge it but it looks about right. Surprised by the CPU scores.

I was surprised at the overall size of its bar at first, but then I noticed that three of the segments are all CPU-based and the Tegra 3 has four A9 cores where all other SoCs have two at most. With that, it makes sense that the Tegra 3 is producing about 2x the performance of the other SoCs in straight computation.

Although, I keep forgetting about the RAM benchmark. It's interesting to see how the RAM seems to even double the next highest contender. I wonder if RAM speed will really matter on these processors though.

ram speed can matter a lot considering how much android keeps recent apps etc. in memory cache.
 
Tegra3 uses single channel and when Anand asked them about it they said they can't saturate the single channel yet.

I didn't expect a benchmark to already be optimized to test a unreleased, 1st quad core chip of it's kind. It won't take long before we get more results.

I did see a ZTE tablet's Quadrant test on youtube a while ago, Tegra3 had a disappointing score in that one.

quadrant isn't multithreaded
 
The GPU of the iPad 2 should be 2x faster than the ULP Geforce.

But i don't see this as a problem. Nobody is buying a Tablet because of the GPU performance.
 
Woah Woah Woah, hold the phone (no pun intended).

According to this screenshot, the Galaxy Nexus is matching the Galaxy S2 in 3D performance.

According to this benchmark, the Mali destroys the SGX 540 when the CPU is clocked at 1.2GHZ (I'm assuming this means the GPU is running at the same clock as the Galaxy Nexus).

Here is a benchmark of the Galaxy Nexus that confirms that it matches the Infuse in the above benchmark.

Any ideas why the discrepancy?
