Nvidia Tegra 3 Performance

Nvidia Tegra 3

Nvidia Tegra 3 chipset delivers outstanding performance for tablet PCs and mobile phones, claimed even faster if pitted with computer class processor Intel Core 2 Duo. Nvidia Tegra 3 is a System on Chip (SoC) which means that it has invested in a processor, GPU, and memory controller for controlling the flow of data. From the architecture of this product clearly superior to the ranks of the Core 2 Duo.

This is demonstrated through a test trial performed Nvidia. As an application benchmark testing used was CoreMark 1.0, to test how far the ability of Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) and Floating-Point Unit (FPU). But unfortunately found a number of awkwardness in the assay. Nvidia is known using a different configuration, resulting in different numbers.

For example to test the Core2 T7200 Nvidia using the compiler version 3.4, while the Tegra 3 using the latest version ie 4.4. Also Nvidia allegedly also did some tweaks, so that more optimal testing on his system. Tests with these methods are considered unfair. Moreover, Nvidia Tegra 3 with a Core2 T7200 (dual-core processor 2.0 GHz with 4 MB cache) differ in architecture, and thus require different testing techniques. If judging from the system works, Nvidia Tegra 3 is very promising. But about a better performance than the computer processor is still questionable.
