If Adreno was not sold by ATI/AMD to Qualcomm (Imageon- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imageon ), Green team vs Red team would continue in the mobile space...

 

[plznote]

For a second I though Anand from Anandtech.com was the CMO. I was pretty astonished.

All these talking out of thin air...show some benchmark to backup your claims if you're so confident.

 

[bebangs]

but there's no tegra games in qualcom... beat that?

 

[redeemer]

the truth hurts?

Somebody has to tell it like it is to nvidia one of these days.

 

[thepowerofdonuts]

Qualcomm has a Snapdragon games store. Tegra games means nothing. They're playable on any phon

Qualcomm talking alot of ****. I can't wait for benchmarks for the Teg4 against Qualcomm's top end ARM chips. It doesn't really matter to me, but they [Qualcomm] got me interested.

Maybe sometime down the line AMD's APU's will overtake Tegra given that they only get smaller and smaller and that X86 is starting to enter the phone/tablet market. =3

Main competitor bashes main rival, but provides no benchmarks to go along with it just words go figure. Could care less honestly one way or another, but Nvidia does have something important going for it a history of strong developer support no matter how good your product is on paper if you can't utilize it fully no one is going to care.

Very exciting.
Snapdragon 800 using quad core Krait and Adreno 330
Tegra 4 quad core using GeForce graphics
Exynos 5 using A15 quad core and PowerVR 544.

COME AT ME 2013 smartphones!

I'm most interested in graphics performance, and nvidia tegra has always been the weakest in that regard...
even tegra optimized games run better on other SoCs.
Guess I'll have to wait and see T3 benches

 

[darkchazz]

T4 sorry

Heh, and people say that there's no competition anymore

 

[IndignantSkeptic]

Different processors can be better for different applications. So are their processors going to be better for the type of applications we like.

In the case of GPUs, I suppose it's possible that some GPUs could be superior for general computing whereas other GPUs could be superior for graphics only.

I need my phone to last at least a week on a single charge. I don't need to play Crysis on it.

 

[renz496]

lol to me it seems that qualcomm doesn't like the attention that nvidia having with their tegra. sure T3 was slow but even so the chip able to land itself in well known product to the public such as google nexus 7 and microsoft own surface. and i think what qualcomm might not like the most is microsoft decision to use T3 in their Surface RT.

 

[ojas]

Qualcomm's suddenly sounding like ARM criticizing Intel. I wonder if they're threatened too, like ARM clearly is...

 

[teh_chem]

Tegra has always been an overhyped platform, and in fairness, the quad-core Snapdragon's are significantly faster (mostly in benchmarks) than tegra3. I have a S4-based phone, and it feels snappier than my tegra-based tablet, but for the time-being, I think any performance-related feelings that most general users pick up on are almost entirely related to the OS rather than the performance characteristics of the CPU (for comparable CPU's, that is).

Tegra 3 won over, because of it's low cost for OEMs, plenty of power for most user tasks. There have been faster processors on the market for awhile.
