NVIDIA Tegra 4 Architecture Deep Dive, Plus Tegra 4i, Icera i500 & Phoenix Hands On
by Anand Lal Shimpi & Brian Klug on February 24, 2013 3:00 PM ESTTegra 4 Performance
NVIDIA shared a bit of performance data generated from a 1.9GHz Tegra 4 reference tablet. CPU performance is understandably higher than anything we’ve seen from anything ARM or Atom x86 based thus far:
On the GPU front NVIDIA claims to offer performance competitive with Apple’s iPad 4, which is quite impressive considering how far behind NVIDIA had been over the previous two generations.

I'd go with Anand, anytime. Charlie is a raving bitch.mayankleoboy1 - Sunday, February 24, 2013 - link
Except that this raving bitch has accurately predicted the future course of most companies months before anybody.Avalon - Monday, February 25, 2013 - link
If by accurate you mean he made many predictions for every company and when one of the predictions came true everyone forgot about all the wrong ones. He guesses.Kiste - Monday, February 25, 2013 - link

Are you kidding me? Even congress lies less than Charlie does.jjj - Sunday, February 24, 2013 - link
I wouldn't expect a huge downclock for phones , they do need to limit heat, not going with POP for the RAM helps ,some actual cooling (air gap or metal) could also be used so they will most likely allow 1-2 cores to go pretty high and maybe all 4 for short periods of time (so the usual tricks to get more out of it).R3MF - Sunday, February 24, 2013 - link
re tegra 4 gpu architecture.how did you get through this many words without mentioning OpenCL?
lack of ES 3.0 is only half the problem.

He does reference it when discussing the Chimera ISP:"At the same time, the elephant in the room is OpenCL (and its current absence on Tegra 4) and what direction the industry will take that to leverage GPU compute for some computational photography processing."

The Icera acquisition was a brilliant one. This gives NVidia the complete mobile package. It will be very interesting to see how this works out in practice. NVidia is a fierce competitor, Qualcomm should be worried.
