Nvidia Tegra3 more powerful than Qualcomm 28nm Dual Core S4..proof is here.

Since phones are brought up so much, here is something to kill the S4 is more powerful than Tegra3, rumor. Tegra3 is shown here clearly to win most of the benchmarks by large margins. Don't get me wrong, that S4 chip is pretty good to be a dual core but we have to remwber it is running at a 28nm process, so technically its supposed to be better across the board, which is shown not to be true.

Quote from source:

" So what did we see? On a pure performance and power level, the Tegra 3 with its 4-PLUS-1 quad-core architecture seems to come out in front of the dual-core Snapdragon S4. We also noticed in benchmarks like Quadrant that show a constant frame rate, that Tegra 3 seems to hold a higher rate even during the most strenuous of on-screen activities. But, the Snapdragon S4 produces higher one-time frame rates than the T3 at times and even bests it completely in some tests, and is clearly no slouch. You won’t find a loser in this battle.

If there is one conclusion to draw from these tests, it’s that these two processors (at least for now) are the best in the business for Android devices. Both will probably never slow down no matter what you try to do to your phone, and that’s a great feeling to have."

So really if you have a Tegra3 or an S4, you have the best in Android industry so far. You can't go wrong with either. I do know the S4 does get better battery life, from what I've seen. Don't really know how tegra3 can perform so well, battery wise, in tablets and not in phones. Strange really.

Here are some benchmark results:

1)Quadrant: Global HTC one X(Tegra3)-5007. very close but S4 edged it out

At&t HTC One X(S4)-5034

2)Antutu: Global HTC One X(Tegra3)-11,066. Obvious the Tegra3 crushed S4 in this one..lol

At&t HTC One X(S4)- 6922

3) Smartbench 2012: Global HTC One X(tegra3)- 4928. Tegra3 crushed S4 again in this one ;)

At&t One HTC One X(S4)- 2941

4) CF Bench(chainfire): Global HTC One X(tegra3)- 13,339 overall. Tegra3 takes this one also.

At&t HTC One X(S4)- 9450 overall

5) GLBenchmark 2.1.4 Egypt offscreen: Global HTC One X(Tegra3)- 7246 frames 64fps

At&T HTC One X(S4)- 6321 frames 56fps

the other tests within this benchmark was close. S4 barely edging out tegra3 in some. As article stated, and seen from video I posted, the Tegra3 consistently holds higher frame rates. The S4 did spike a higher One time frame rate at times. But the S4 also held the lowest Onetime frame rate also. which means the performance on S4 was not consistent when it came to graphics/gpu performance. Tegra3 was consistent with its performance across the board.

All in all, both are great chips. But for people to say S4 is more powerful CPU or GPU wise is False, as the proof shown here clearly shows. Ill be willing to let both go as good chips. But as soon as someone comes with the S4 being more powerful, here is the proof that that claim is false. Because especially in CPU power, tegra3 crushed the S4 in performance. Even Tegra3 GPU outperformed the S4 one, for the most part. Or at least held its high performance, GPU wise, more consistently. The S4 was kinda all over the place, shooting high one minute, then dipping very low the next. Consistent performance goes to Tegra3. S4 does have the better battery life seen so far between the two. in the phone market, hopefully new updates can bring tegra3 battery life up to par. but in tablets, Tegra3 provides the best battery life for Android.

So I'm willing to let this battle go as an pretty well matched up pair. If you want to flaunt S4 as superior, then all of this info will always be here to contradict that and show Tegra3 clearly as more powerful. I rest my case. bring on the next chip ;)
