Please never consider such characteristics (number of cores or their frequencies) as an advantage when buying any mobile gadgets. Mobile technology varies highly and such characteristics are usually can't be easily compared between different hardware vendors (e.g. two 400mhz GPUs might have completely different performance profile.) I don't know what kind of hardware they have there but it might be anything — from a plenty of slower cores to having many specialized cores. Also a lot depends on software and it's integration with hardware. Do test real devices and measure real-life performance. That's the only way to tell if there is any improvement whatsoever.
- MSM 14y agoI would expand this to say don't just compare speed across brands on PC either- if you compare a quad core Intel to a quad core AMD, you'll see quite a difference. It's all about how those cycles are used!
- athalius 14y agoI wasn't trying to make a baseline strength comparison, I was more curious about where the 12 figure came from. I was under the impression that Tegra 3 was a quad or dual core gpu ( turns out according to http://www.nvidia.com/object/tegra-superchip.html http://www.nvidia.com/object/tegra-superchip.html its an 8 core gpu ).
