[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
People need to stop comparing phone benchmark tests to tablet ones. tablets is a whole different ballgame.

yes, we know "in the phone sector" tegra3 has horrible battery life compared to S4. but who cares, we talking about tablets here. which there is no tablet with S4 to compare battery life of tegra3 in a tablet form. We already know for a fact tegra3 for tablets has the best battery life compared to any other android chip. Why it doesn't do as well in phones, I don't know & don't really care.

People are switching up previous arguments they made before. Like it was said in the very beginning, it will all boil down to who has the most different tablets out with their chip in it. I can guareentee by the time this "false rumored release of Samsung quad core 32nm tablets in may/June" roll around, there will be far more different Android tablets that will have tegra3 in it. Proof is already shown, a few posts back, that Samsung rushed things and is going with 32nm chip instead of the previously thought 28nm. this is in the dual core and quad core variant. Samsung isn't going to release those then immediately after release 28nm versions also. that's a pipe dream. Obviously Samsung is having issues with 28nm process and that's why they chose to release 32nm dual and quad core soon. it won't matter if Samsung makes their chip available for others to use. it will be too late then.

We already have: there's more but this is what I remember off the top of my head and have proof of their specs and upcoming release. You gotta have proof nowadays ;)

All major manufacturers that are using Nvidia Tegra3 in their tablets

1)Asus- 300, Prime, infinity pad, & if rumor is true, the Google nexus tablet

2)Acer- A510 & A700

3)Lenovo-what ever that tablet is called, thinkpad or something.

4)Toshiba- 3 different tablets. a 7in, A 10.1 in., & the big boy 13.3in

5)HTC-HTC one X, Quattro tablet, & another phone

6)ZTE- 2 tablets & a phone. names are in list a few pages back or so

7)LG- a phone or 2

All those are using tegra3 chip and all we be out by June/July. What other major android tablet maker is left for Samsung to use? Motorola? lol. Show me a list of manufacturers set to use Exynos chips in tablets. there is no list. The proof was already listed several posts back of almost 20 different tablets(and a few phones) that are either out now or slated to release by June. That's 7 major android tablet manufacturers already set to use Tegra3. Do the math. there is no way Samsung can release their new chip and be in more different Manufacturer tablets than Nvidia will already have commanded.

Like I said before, Samsung did too little too late. Nvidia has basically already commanded its chip to be in more android tablets than any other chip maker. sorry but unless you can list more manufacturers slated to use Samsung chip(in tablet form) than what I've listed, then I Won...lol

I know it's hard to swallow but nvidia has this year under its belt already. by the time these other chips release, Nvidia will be ahead again with the tegra3 refresh called T3+ which will branch off into Wayne and Grey(with LTE Icera radio) variations. which will likely beat out these new chips. then while those new chips are still wet behind the ears, Nvidia will release Tegra4. Which we all know even Anandtech is hyped about and has said in his articles that nothing will be able to touch it, even Intel medielfield won't be competition for it. It will be far more advanced than anything seen. it will have 5 different(4+1) cortex A15 processors at 28nm process. Then all the clues point to its gpu being Keplar based, which we know nothing will be able to come close to its kind of gpu power it will produce. Tegra3 already a shoe in for 2012. tegra4 will command 2013. if we lucky we might see tegra4 q4 of 2012. Exciting times indeed.

edit: i saw your edit. only the Grey variant of T3+ will be smartphone only. or at least initially. Wayne variant without radio is going into tablets.

current Mali gpu is not more powerful than tegra3 gpu. I'm talking tablets now. don't show some phone specs. This discussion is about what's available now in tablets or coming to tablets. i don't know why some like to keep bringing up phone specs. I'm more into the tablet scene. a phone is a phone, my tegra2 atrix still performs great so I'm not pressed about the phone scene as much.
