So I like many of you am thinking of jumping to tegra 2 within the.next year. I personally build pcs for myself and have always been a loyal fan of geforce gpu cards and nforce boards. So when I learned of tegra 2 I nearly creamed my pants. But after modding my phone running midnight I've turned this into a beast. Scoring 1100/2700 in smartbench and 2000 in quadrant I went looking for any benches tegra 2. I found a quadrant bench of the bionic and it scored around 2200. I know benches mean nothing but these scores are pretty close. What do you guys think are gonna be some advantages you see speed wise with tegra? Im trying to determine if the jump would be worth it...

Tegra 2 will murder Epic's gpu,i would say its 3-4 times more powerfull.But who want Tegra without Super Amoled?lol,not me.
Good point lol I know samsung sucks at updates but I think if they get the sgs2 right ill be looking forward to it. Samoled is amazing. I want a 42 inch samoled tv. Wow I just really thought about that and it sounds amazing.

The Tegra 2 GPU is not 3-4 times more powerful...if anything the GPU is where the Epic is closest to the Tegra 2..(of course the Tegra 2 GPU supports some nice new protocols but in terms of raw power)

Here is the things to consider besides quadrant being flawed:
1) The Tegra 2 right now is not optimized and is not using the dual core..its only using 1 core..Dual Core support and optimizations will come with Honeycomb..
2) The Hummingbird is also not optimized and will be optimized in Gingerbread
3) The GPU on the Epic dithers at 24bit while Tegra 2 still does 16bit dithering...
4) The GPU on the Epic is FPS locked...so its definitely capable of more..
Its kinda hard to say what the performance will be of both once the smoke clears..but the Tegra 2 is 40nm and is based of Cortex A9 which give it a lot of advantages..the disadvantages would lie in whether or not applications would support dual core and if they will when and how efficiently..
I estimate though Tegra 2 would definitely win on CPU processing from 25%-100% depending on whether or not it can use both cores..and in terms of GPU it would be around the same to 50% better depending if there is dual core support or not...(assuming that we unlock the FPS and find a way to make it dither the same amount of bits)
Edit: Forgot to add a conclusion~~
Conclusion is that a Tegra 2 is definitely an upgrade BUT until Honeycomb comes into play we would definitely be competitive...beyond that we won't be a slouch(I mean people still use EVOs even though ours is superior by a good margin)..but its no question Tegra 2 will surpass us..
Oh and on the Nvidia tibit...I am pretty pissed at them after what they did with the laptops..they have been serving faulty chipsets for laptops for YEARS and bribing manufacturers to use them..which has me pretty pissed...even though I hear latest chipsets 400+ series are ok..but I probably won't be buying a nvidia laptop for a while..desktop gpus are ok with me though..

Usually TVs tend to be Passive Matrix OLED and not Active Matrix OLED..anyways..that said I have seen an OLED TV at CES 2011..Don't now exact size it was as I viewed from a distance and had a person distracting me..I think it was 32"-46" somewhere there..and I'll tell you this IT WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD...or more precisely in this world..it was like looking through a glass window and they could pop out any time..thats how realistic it looked...I mean those 3rd TVs are suppose to "come out" but I think thats over-rated..look at an OLED TV and thats where its at..it was simply amazing...

That is true of all phones except the razor. That was one well made phone, even see ones at least based off them these days. Those used to not break, remember when cell phones didn't break daily?
I'm sure soon the quadcore in the new ngp psp is going in a phone.
I just doubt seriously that it makes much of a difference at all as android at this point is not capable of running multiple threads from my understanding. The Nvidia GPU in the tegra 2 phones is pretty much on the same performance level as ours so thats not even a factor.
The rumor mill has GB offering up true multi core support on the phone, we will see how that goes, because the rumor mill had froyo supporting it too.
Multi core CPU's are awesome if you are endlessly running multiple cpu intensive tasks, on your phone I doubt you will be.

Hard to say really...there really is no benchmarks or live phones to tell..
The Tegra 2 seems to support more new specs/features on their GPU...the Orion will be bundled with the MALI-400 and the snapdragon has its Adreno which seems to be promising performance on par with our current Hummignbird but will have a 1.2ghz dual core which might help it in cpu (Though Tegra 2.5 will come this year too with 1.2ghz), the OMAP chose the SGX540 which is hard to say how they will utilize it..
See its kinda a mixed bag...as we don't have any phones to try out..
IF I were to guess out of all the Dual cores this year..the best performance would either be the Tegra 2.5 or the Orion..:/

I could write a monster post here, since comparing SoC architecture is a hobby of mine.
But, I'm tired, so I'm just going to drop links and say a few words.

Obviously NVIDIA's stuff has to be taken with a grain of salt (it has a certain amount of marketing spin thrown in) but thus far has been fairly accurate when compared to actual performance numbers.
Samsung is using Tegra 2 (we've caught them accepting orders for large numbers of Tegra 2 processors) so Orion is either still in the works or has been placed on the backburner. TI is prepping their OMAP 4400, which hopefully will feature some tweaks (not something TI is known for however) to keep it competitive with the fairly hard-copy Tegra 2 ARM Cortex-A9.
And let's not forget Qualcomm. They may not be technically using Cortex-A9, but with their license to customize the ARM instruction set and CPU architecture as they see fit (something that NVIDIA, Samsung, and TI haven't paid to do), they have the ability to modify their SoCs to remain competitive, no matter what the other guys do. Their only major drawback is the time and money they need to spend on R&D.
Alright, I didn't want to write a book so I'm going to stop myself here. If you want to see me rattle on for pages about this stuff, read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=907182

Runs exactly the same as it does on my epic, I'm not sure the point with that?
gTen we will see if its there when its released. Until then all those dual cores don't do much.
As we all know, the new trend in smartphones now is moving towards the new cortex a9 chips such as the tegra 2, orion, QSD 8960 (I think), etc. However, is all this raw horsepower really necessary? I mean, sure, apps open up 1 sec. faster, web pages load 4-5 seconds faster, and I understand the concept on future proofing, but single core devices are just as capable. To me, 500 is not worth not being able to wait 5 seconds. And don't forgot about Google's new baby, the Nexus S. What is your opinion? Are you getting a dual core? Personally, I am waiting for the quad cores!
Everything will drop in price over time. Right now, of course it's expensive, it's a new feature.

I say yes. Plus, don't forget the potential battery life gains out of multi-core. But hey.... I carry around a spare battery, and that works pretty well for me.
No, we don't, BUT, they'll make us THINK we WANT it and that's ($$$) what's important to them.
Like you said, those 4-5 seconds load up time, worth it for $500? Naaa.

You kind of contradicted yourself with the last sentence.
personally, i only use my device to make calls, txt'g, listen to music and maybe surf the web (rarely). i don't think i would benefit THAT much from a dual core, but on the other hand, if the battery life is better......
aside from that, i'm getting great battery life out of the rom i'm running now, so that isn't much of an issue now.

"You will never need more than 640K" -BG
It's inevitable. Power will become better, apps written for dual cores and so on. This is pretty much an open ended question with an infinite answer. In short Yes.
There's no such thing as "too much" in the technology world.
You may not need it right now, but the apps will advance and become even better, since the multi-threading will bring new possibilities.
Also, I never thought I would need 6 cores on my desktop PC. And look at me. I'm playing for a Dual 6-core Xeon server to fall from the sky right on my yard.
Apple/AT&T can answer this question better since they are good at convincing people they do not need more than 2GB of data or flash on their smartphones

And yet they are killing the market so far, maybe the OP has a point, do we really need all this processing power? what we need from phones is for them to utilize what they already have more efficiently. If Team Whiskey can make roms that takes me from 8-12 hours a day battery life to 20-24hours on the SAME hardware, I think that's where manufacturers should be spending their time. Zero lag anytime, excellent battery life and even a 600-800mhz processor will be blazing on Android.
Apple has done a great job with that for the most part..hope Google does follows suite soon!

Not only that but there is an overwhelming trend away from laptops to tablets and smart phones. The more horse power these phones have the more we will be able to do with them. In addition Frany1029 is right, dual cores will drastically improve battery life over what we have now. Plus itll be cool to have a phone that is more powerful than most netbooks.

I can't say I really want system on a chip. Might lead to some severe lock down of the OS.
Do we need dual cores? Depends. For heavy media devices, PMPs and such I can see the need for dual cores. For a smartphone? Not really.
A 1.4 GHz Single Core with a 1900 mAh battery and 4" Super LCD/AMOLED screen would do me just fine.
I prefer backgrounding (iOS/WP7) with push notifications (WP7-style) to 3rd-party preemptive multitasking. System apps can multi-task, those that need to (media player, browser, etc.).
I am actually starting to question the value of Adobe Flash on a smartphone now, after seeing how terribly it performs on this one. I also question the value of ridiculous 4G speeds for users who don't tether their computer to their phone...
dungeon defenders will answer your question.
Do I NEED my BMW? No. But it's always nice to have. Same can be said of pretty much any luxury, and right now, that's exactly what the dual core processors are.
No big news really. Pluses: Thinner, lighter, HD display, TI 1.2GHz OMAP processor. Negatives: 16GB only, no 3G, still 3.2. Evolution rather than revolution. It'll be interesting to see how the TI processor does compared to Tegra. I had a Jetstream and the Qualcomm 1.5GHz made the UI seem smoother but it wasn't a real "wow" compared to the G-Tab.

the tegra 3 chip till now isn't for mass production (only avaliable for the asus prime ) because nvidia have problems in producing big amount of it ( that is why it was delayed several times) . any way all big processor manufacturers are still on dual core processors and wont release quad core before 4-5 monthes at least , so dualcore is still somthing good
Failing in the looks department compared to the GT-75xx and nothing worked up over.
The tegra 3 chip is gonna be sick tho once a tabs start coming out with those. I just got my galaxy 10.1. Def needed to be rooted and rom'd right away. now that i did , so much better.
That thing sure is ugly... lol

It is in Dutch, but I think the benchmark results speak for themselves.
http://tweakers.net/reviews/2616/3/asus-transformer-pad-infinity-android-op-1920x1200-hardware-kan-tegra-3-het-aan.html
If this is true, I believe ASUS really is losing it when it comes to having a long term view on the future for its hardware.
The infinity is now "nothing more" than a desperate attempt to jump on the retina wagon
From my perspective benchmarks are really only important to geeks like us anyway. Do those clock speed variations really make any noticeable difference in tablet performance? I keep my 300 underclocked at 1.0 Mhz to save battery and it does everything I want, including 3D gaming, very very well.
Now on the other hand: A sexy form factor, metal body, gorilla glass 2 and HD resolution.....to the non-techie crowd (most of the market), those features are key, and sell tablets. Look at Apple's success, imo coming mostly from branding as "cool" rather than putting out the best products.
I know it is frustrating to those of us who really evaluate and understand the technology, but that is the reality of the market and generating sales volumes.
The issue though is the Tegra 3 has to beat itself to death to perform with a 1920X1200 display. Kind of like a 4 cylinder engine in Minivan.
I will stick with the 300 and dock (got for $450, so $200 less than the 700). I also have a 64gb iPad 3, so already covered on the hi-def fix.
At least the Asus has a higher clocked chipset than the Acer, which runs hot and has performance issues (same chip as the A510 and only the display changed). I returned the A510 due to heat, so the A700 must get real toasty.

Lol, I remember going back and forth with you on the A510 thread when I had mine....also returned due to the heat issue. Glad to see you made the same choice and got a 300 as well, a decision I have not regretted for a second.
The question is: Will there be any noticeable deterioration in performance going from the 300 to the Infinity given Infinity's supped up engine and much higher performance requirement. If not, I think the other features could really drive demand.
^^
Wondering the exact same thing. Have to wait to see what happens when people get their hands on it.
Yep, I must admit I was wrong on the A510. The 300 runs cooler, just as fast, much better touch response, better overall display and the dock is far more handy than I expected
They are using the higher clocked T33 and DDR3 in the Infinity and the battery life is about two hours less than the Prime. The chip is a better fit than the Acer 700, which has the SAME chip as the A510 that already runs hot (mainly due to the battery taking up space, but the higher res display will make hotter).
Comparing the Acer to the Asus, seems the Infinity from Asus is the best option. The heat alone would keep me from the Acer tablet.
Added: Since I am happy with the 300 and paid $450 for the tablet and dock, I see no reason to spend $200 more for the Infinity. The reviews so far have reported some lag and I think my 4 cylnder in a Minivan analogy is valid. The sweet spot for the GPU in the Tegra 3 is 1280X800.
I guess if Nvidia created a Tegra 3X, it would add another $50 price to consumers, so probably not the price point they want with the iPad 3 hanging around.

From the comparisons I have seen, the 300 only trails the Prime by 30 minutes on battery life without the dock. Given the two hours you mentioned above, that implies we are about 1.5 hours ahead of the infinity. For me battery life is key and a 12-18% reduction is a steep price to pay for a prettier screen, but time will tell as Asus updates the infinity with more battery efficient kernels.
I took the average from the reviews I have seen so far. I think the 1280x800 display is the comfort zone for the Tegra 3, so will stick with it.
Game emulators like N64, PSX and MAME Reloaded will take a hit with the high res display and no upgraded GPU.
The 300 is smoother since less pixels to push data to using the same GPU. The 300 also has DDR3 memory like the Infinity.

One X > One X+ was 8 months.
That would land the One+ in October, right there with the iPhone 5S.
Makes sense to me!
On a side note, LG G2 is being announced tomorrow. It's pretty cool looking, but we'll have to see if it implements the 800's native always listening capabilities from the start. I highly doubt it. OEMs might let Moto X be the test dummy and see if people like the always on feature.
Is the 800 the same architecture as the 600??

I was asking about One+ rumours (same size) and i agree i dont think its happening
From the way the phone is overheating while you play games, I dont think they will be putting a faster CPU into the phone.
Maybe a faster GPU or an new gen of more efficient ARM processors
The current quad cores are already plenty fast for normal phone use.
We don't need s800 imo.. s600 is fast enough for me. But i wouldn't mind Adreno 330 gpu.
The One Max is not an upgrade over the One. I hope everyone realizes this. It will be very difficult to handle and heavier.

New GPU and LPDDR3 would be a nice bump in performance.
Screw both CPU and GPU, better battery tech FFS.
We didn't need 1080p screens and mobile SoCs that are coming close to mid 2000's laptop power.
But it's hell asking for a phone to have two days standby time with heavy usage (6+ hours screen on) without wifi.

I think the spec madness has to stop.
Always listening should become a standard from now on. I read from Blinkfeed that the 800 has native support for it.
We also need better battery life. The G2, a next gen phone, has a 3000 mAh battery. We'll see if that'll be enough.
There is research being conducted to incorporate Silicon anodes in Li-ion batteries. I'm looking forward to that.
Another thing is heat dissipation. These things are more powerful than a laptop from the early 2000's. How can mfgs expect these to run at their full potential with no heat dissipation? Currently, the only solution provided is to throttle the CPU severely. The One has a metal backplate, which thankfully acts as a huge heatsink. However, it's not enough. Just 10 mins of 3D gameplay or browsing and the frame rate drops to rock bottom. Kinda defeats the purpose of having such a powerful processor.
Are any mfgs even trying to address the heat issues?

Why you want yet an new ONE yet??? Its the better android phone now overall by far.. The differences with the snapdragon 600 and the 800 there are minimals.. I prefeer all day the One near the lg G2 big plastic crap.

I read in an article that the lg g2 laged on random things they said because lg's ui is heavy

Subtleties, my good man.
I never said I wanted a new One right now. That would be nice, but it isn't necessary.
And I didn't say I wanted an S800, I simply said that the next generation of devices should implement the native always listening feature. And the 800 makes several significant improvements.

And believe it or not your precious phone (and mine) will be outdated in a matter of months. A new genreation of devices seems to release every 6 months or so!
I was commenting on a disturbing trend the Android smartphone market is exhibiting: an obsession with theoretical values and inflated numbers. While these do help to some degree, there needs to be some kind of innovation, or else we'll all end up in a very uncomfortable situation.

I think the spec madness has to stop.
Always listening should become a standard from now on. I read from Blinkfeed that the 800 has native support for it.
We also need better battery life. The G2, a next gen phone, has a 3000 mAh battery. We'll see if that'll be enough.
There is research being conducted to incorporate Silicon anodes in Li-ion batteries. I'm looking forward to that.
Another thing is heat dissipation. These things are more powerful than a laptop from the early 2000's. How can mfgs expect these to run at their full potential with no heat dissipation? Currently, the only solution provided is to throttle the CPU severely. The One has a metal backplate, which thankfully acts as a huge heatsink. However, it's not enough. Just 10 mins of 3D gameplay or browsing and the frame rate drops to rock bottom. Kinda defeats the purpose of having such a powerful processor.

Are you unlocked? With ElementalX kernel, you have custom thermal throttling that does not affect gaming performance. My phone never throttles and the battery stays below 50 degrees. HTC's throttling was way too agressive. You can play a 3D game for an hour with no slowdown. Plus, the kernel improves battery life.
I cant stand the stock kernel any more after trying others.
I remember my boyfriend buying the LG Optimus 2x when it was released. It was the first Android phone with dual core and - if you took a look on the hardware - very, very promising compared to other androids. Yeah... Theory. It was laggy. It lagged so much, even my HTC Desire was faster and smoother.
I'm really curious what the new LG G2 will act like, but my expectations are extremely low
