Comparison between the latest chip from Apple A5X with Tegra 3

Currently the most widely used chip is a chipset from Nvidia Tegra 3. However, it looks like they have to prepare for their new competitors in the near future. In a press conference announcement of the New iPad, the computer company Apple launched its quad-core graphics chip (not a quad-core CPU) that is embedded in their latest tablet. The name of this chip is A5X Apple.

Simply put, the microprocessor type System on Chip (SoC) has four core processor (quad core) for graphics processing. These processors use the power SGX543MP4 with the main processor core Cortex A9 dual core. Apple claims to have four times the performance A5X Tegra 3 in graphics processing and maximize the screen resolution.

Apple did not mention how to do the testing and comparison with the Nvidia Tegra 3, but from table testing conducted site Anandtech, NVIDIA Tegra 3 just can not beat the power core of which is owned SGX543MP2 iPad 2. The results of the comparison at Anandtech site explains why Apple's bold claim A5X better than iPad 2 processor and 4x better than the Nvidia Tegra 3.

Here are the details and test results comparing the power core Tegra iPad 2 and 3.
