Surface RT uses NVIDIA Tegra 3, and New iPad uses Apple A5X chip. In a benchmark comparision that was done between Asus Transformer Prime that uses Tegra 3 chip vs. New iPad, the iPad beat the anroid tablet in almost all categories. "Almost" is the key word here. One category that the Tegra 3 came on top was the pure CPU tests:
"On Geekbench, a cross-platform benchmark that measures raw processing power rather than graphics, the quad-core Tegra 3 blew its competitor way as it achieved an overall score of 1,571 to the A5X?s 692. On the integer (1391 to 614), floating point (2408 to 825) and memory subtests (1076 to 784) , the Tegra 3 dominated, but the A5X bested it by a small margin of 324 to 266 on the stream subtest."
1. Does this mean Tegra 3 is a faster chip in nature?
2. Should we blame the poor performance of the Asus Transformer Prime against New iPad on Android OS?
3. Do you think Surface RT will blow the New iPad away using the same Tegra 3 chip?
