The Tegra 2 is fast

AnandTech recently got their hands on a Viewsonic G Tablet and ran some tests, pitting the Tegra 2 tablet against a number of devices packing other processors. And in the results just prove one thing- it doesn’t have any competition, at least not for now. Especially in regular processing (Rightware BrowserMark, SunSpider Javascript, and BenchmarkPi) when the benchmarks aren’t even taking full advantage of the processor’s dual-cores, the Tegra 2 gives the best results. In the Quake 3 Arena test, it blew the Samsung Hummingbird away. Granted it IS Quake 3 Arena, and it IS NVIDIA after all, but 53% is nothing to blink at. If we were to judge the tablet’s performance on numbers alone, we can easily say that the Nvidia Tegra 2 is now the processor to beat and it will be the reason we’ll get better games on the Android operating system. But developers are going to have to take advantage of the processor’s dual-cores in order for that to happen. With a lot more dual-core processors coming out next year, it’s going to be interesting to see how each company intends to outdo one another to claim the title of “the best.”
