Absolutely. Their BS claim that their dual core AS5 processor is 4-5times faster than the Tegra 3 is complete BS. I will say that apple does make some damn fine displays though.
Apple buys the displays from Samsung, then they buy their A5X from samsung, and put it together.
I'm happy with my Prime but I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little envious of the screen resolution and the graphics processor.
The SGX543MP2 in the iPad 2 is quite a bit faster than Tegra 3 when it comes to graphics and the new iPad uses the MP4 which is twice as fast, so they did not exaggerate by much.
I'm sure I've read somewhere the display on the new ipad is made by Sharp.
I believe I read that they used three suppliers for the displays because samsung was giving grief. Makes sense they would, apple sues them daily.
Also, a faster gpu doesnt make the whole chip faster?? It is as strong as the weakest link. If the cpu is the same as the A5, then it is slower than the tegra 3. The graphics could be 4 times faster, but unless the cpu is changed, it is slower
Think of it as adding a new 500 dollar nvidia graphics card to a pentium 4. The pentium 4 is the same speed. So changing gpu increases graphics performance, and can be compared to the tegra 3 gpu, not the cpu.
So, unless the cpu is 4 times faster, we know this is an exaggeration. They said the A5 was twice as fast as the tegra 3, which it is obviously not, being lied to once makes me real hesitant to believe their made up hype... my 2 cents.
Not sure I understand your point, the slide I've seen claimed the A5X was 4x faster in graphics performance, this could very well be true and if not won't be far off.
Most games and applications are not multithreaded anyway having four cores probably won't help at all in most cases.
You completely lost me the pentium 4 example, they both use the cortex a9, only difference is clockspeeds and number of cores, most games don't even take advantage of the second core, never mind a third and a fourth.
I don't see much of a case at all to suggest MP4 will be limited by not having a quad core version of the a9
In the presentation, Tim Cook said the A5X was 4 times faster. My point is, its hard to have a processor that is faster, by only increasing the GPU? That makes not sense.
Pentium example - Will a pc with this processor (half the cores) be faster than a computer with a core 2 (two cores = twice the cores), simply because the pentium has a better gpu?
No, it is limited directly at the cpu. Increasing the GPU in the ipad was neccesary to push all of the pixels.
But did you consider they may run at half the resolution and simply upscale?The GPU was increased because of the higher res screen.
The new ipad is further proof that Apple is three parts marketing, two parts legal monster, and one part computer company. Has the company come up with a legitimately innovative idea in the last two years? All they do is rip off Android features and repackage them.

12 core gpu.
You keep mentioning the MP4, but the only time I've heard of MP4 is as a video file format. And of course, Googling MP4 just comes back with lots of stuff about video. What is it?12 cores that can't even match the 2 on the SGX543MP2, nevermind the MP4 on the new iPad.
That's probably why theres not much hype about that.![]()

Adding pixels that will probably never be noticeably utilized and making unverified claims as to the power of a GPU are not innovations. They're marketing. I stand by what I said.Screen is twice the resolution of Android tablets and has at least twice the performance of tegra 3 when it comes to graphics, say what you like but they were first with these features.
Don't you think your being a bit harsh?
I own both an ipad 2, and prime. The iPad is a kiddie toy.
Can I ask, do you own a Transformer Prime?
