Apple has officially introduced their new tablet, iPad, to the public. Somehow there are things that mention NVIDIA's Tegra 3 performance, where Apple's A5X SoC (System on Chip) displays graphics performance on new iPad is claimed 4 x faster than the Nvidia quad core chip, Tegra 3.
Responding to that Apple's claims for new iPad, NVIDIA representative Ken Brown explained via ZDNet that they do not have the benchmark criteria that Apple use for their claim. Therefore, NVIDIA could not verify the authenticity of the claim, which the benchmark could be not fair enough through benchmark application.
We can tell there is some of the evidence supporting the Apple's claim. The benchmark results from ASUS Transformers Prime – with Tegra 3 chipset and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, which was recorded not faster than the Apple iPad 2, a device that's almost a years older with dual-core processor and dual-core Gpu.
In order to provide more fairly benchmark, Nvidia intend to test the new iPad with the ULP Geforce GPU on Tegra 3. Just for information, the next likely Apple will be facing a serious threat from Samsung Exynos 5250, which will use the new architecture ARM Cortex-A15 and new graphics.
