Nvidia’s upcoming Tegra 3 mobile chip is faster than the iPad 2 processor, according to new benchmark tests.
Carried out by AnandTech (http://www.anandtech.com/show/5163/asus-eee-pad-transformer-prime-nvidia-tegra-3-review/2) and Hothardware (http://hothardware.com/Reviews/Asus-Eee-Pad-Transformer-Prime-Preview/?page=6), 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.
