[citation][nom]drchemist[/nom]Intel is using the powervr sgx which is quite fast. The only problem is that it is using the older powervr. We are purely comparing cpu to cpu. Most atoms are single or dual core as oppose to quad core A9 which still can't beat intel on cpu tasks cpu for cpu. Every current tablet and phone that doesn't use NVidia pairs with either Mali, Adreno or PowerVR for graphics. Plus what high end 3D gaming do you honestly play for more than a few minutes on a light weight on the go laptop, an ARM tablet or phone using android or iOS. They are time wasters. I'm sure the business guy who is sitting looking to finish some work while waiting in the terminal is going damn I wish I would have opted for the high end 3D card with less battery life to play that game. The only real games are done with true gaming platforms ( consoles, desktops, and heavy duty laptops). I don't see one person playing MMORPG and FPS games on phones complaining about how they can't play much. Think about it, would you put tons of power into a tablet's graphics when the most you will do is play angry birds or display photos on an HD display.Please see the Atom Z2580 for the 1H2013 which will be 1.8 Ghz with 2 cores not one with current medfield and 14nm with trigate to reduce power even more, it's own Intel LTE low power chip and the PowerVR SGX 544MP2 overclocked which should put it at the same speed if not faster than the current iPhone 5 with the 543. Intel will destroy ARM in the long run, but I think the competition will help them start pushing for the mobile area.[/citation]That doesn't negate his point. I'm a fan of PowerVR designs, but Intel is using their older designs as usual. The SGX 545 is not good enough at this point. So they have a fast CPU and a GPU that is simply not good enough, despite the aggressive clockspeed. For future designs, they should be using either an SGX554MP4 like the iPad (at a minimum), or Series 6 even. But once again, they are using outdated PowerVR designs by the time the chip is released. I mean really, a 544MP2 should have been in their CURRENT design. By the time they release that, it will be way behind again.
