Nvidia’s upcoming Tegra 3 mobile chip is faster than the iPad 2 processor, according to new benchmark tests.
Carried out by AnandTech and Hothardware, the tests showed that the five-core chip designed for Android scored better than Apple’s A5 processor in web browsing and JavaScript applications.
When it came to graphics rendering, the Tegra 3 also had a much greater GLBenchmark FPS than the A5 chip.
The tests also revealed that Nvidia’s new processor is a substantial improvement over its previous incarnation the Tegra 2.
The iPad 2 however fared far better in OpenGL texture performance, scoring twice as high as the Tegra 3, whilst also showing excellent power efficiency.
