[Asus Transformer TF700] demandarin:
not really shinzz , its actually right on so many levels, as you left out info. For starters it's the integrated Icera modems into the chip that's not projected to release till 2013. Nvidia has already stated, and seen across several tech sites, that the Icera modem will be paired with current tegra3 and release before the end of 2012. 2013 is for the integrated solution aka better/more advanced/more efficient. What you posted was already a known. Unless you an engineer yourself who can discount what Nvidia stated, its still perfectly feasible for them to reach the increased 25% in GPU performance.

We already have sites thinking it might be tegra3 paired with Icera modem in the new 300 model THST just passed through FCC. current situation with S4 not being able to meet manufacturing demands only strengthens that claim. Companies won't wait around for them to be able meet demand next year. Qualcomm stated that themselves. As tegra3 is widely available and Icera modem is already a go. Like said before Nvidia already said current tegra3 will be "PAIRED" with Icera modem. you only speaking on the integrated SoC soltuion.

As for only announced on one carrier, so what. they have to start somewhere first. It doesn't have to be announced or approved by all carriers for it to become a reality. All it takes is that first one then others will jump on board. The fact that its accepted by THE LARGEST CARRIER says alot by itself.

Also you overlooked one crucial point I stated at the end of that post. It was that its still all up in the air and nothing is certain on which chip will be used. But current problems with S4 manufacturing issues, no current tablets with S4 chipset, and Tegra3 proven dominance in the Android tablet market is pointing otherwise. With infinity Pad having 1080P screen, people are going to want to want the superior multimedia capabilities.

One last point. It being a smartphone chip means nothing. As we already have proof of prime actually using 2 different tegra3 versions. When tegra3 was first announced, it was likely they began production on smartphone version first since it would be larger quantity. Our developers here and myself already have seen proof of earlier model tegra3 using AP30 variant and the rest of newer/more recent models using the T30 variant. its in the coding. Already several discussions had on that and current Prime kernel developer confirmation on that. plus I've posted the source before showing all the different variants. It seems likely the first primes used a smartphone chip version of tegra3(AP30) then switched over to the T30(tablet) variant. So nvidia could easily go the same route with infinity pad. Nvidia never stated it would use S4 in the data connected 300 version. so what that 300 is actually using could be a projection for what's used in infinity pad model. The S4 model of inifinity pad at MWC means nothing. the very first videos and info of infinity pad showed it using tegra3. so what's your point there? All my points are valid and have proof to back them up. Along with our own prime kernel developer that's back up claim of first primes using AP30, which is actually one of the first smartphone versions of tegra3 chip if you don't know.

I expected you to come so it was no surprise. Better late than never though. ;)

edit: I saw your additional edit. That old article from February..lol. specs can easily change without notice. As Asus has already shown us..lmfao Right or wrong? then with S4 not being able to meet demand, it would be an easy solution for Asus to transfer over to pairing tegra3 with Icera modem, since its already approved. Only time will tell which chip will be used. Or even better yet, I can easily find out The real answer and go straight to the source. But I'll leave it at speculating on current facts n info that we find on the web. Its more fun this way.
