Review iPad 3 Performance

ADS HERE Apple says the iPad 3  "four times faster than the chip Tegra 3", competitor Nvidia. If the statement is true, many wonder. First test results provide answers, at least partial.

Vietnamese site Tinhte published the first benchmark results, which are not at the level of Apple's claims. Using the Geekbench benchmark that measures the performance of floating point operations, a test of memory and processing stream reveals that "brute force", which offers 1.0 GHz ARMv7 A5X of dual-core CPU remained the same from previous generations . At the same time, it is confirmed definitively that the new iPad 3 comes with 1 GB of internal memory RAM, which is double what is already installed.

What then is left to allegations of Apple? The graphics and GPU core is what distinguishes the new creation of Apple's competition. GPU is actually variant formerly known SGX543MP2 PowerVR chips, which comes under the label SGX543MP4. To make this chip is known to charge Imagination Technologies, a specialist in the field of graphics for notebooks. The theoretical maximum that provides SGX543MP4 MPolygon 134/4 is GPixel / s fill rate.

You should also know that the tests were conducted by well-known site that AnandTech showed that the past generation iPad Tablet PC was faster than 30 to 80 percent of the Tegra 3 graphics in certain situations. If Apple kept its promise to accelerate the existing core, one would expect that the graphics performance to some extent be the order of the promise of "four times better performance than the Tegra 3."

Note here also that the above is a "clock watch" comparison, since Tegra actually clocked higher speed, the difference is further reduced by a higher frequency of Nvidia chip. ADS HERE
