I have finally conceded that Tegra3 is overrated. I thought it really made a lot of difference in gaming, but in reality not much. Disappointed but finally faced facts
U need special game compile for Tegra 3 to get the benefit...
eg... Tegra HD Game (THD)
then u will get the water rendering and some smoke particle
---
sometime u will see some HD game look and run better on other chip
the answer is simple... the game they tested is based on tegra 2 build
(realracing 2hd, pvz hd and fruit ninja thd...)
oh tegra is not the only video/3d chip out there... eg adreno / powervr / mali
---
for video hw decoding, i think most of the chip out there is about the same
all r using the same (eg H.264) hw decoding patent design
and nope of them is special to specific codec...
in some cases certain codec and filter, u wont get quad-core to process ur video
---
but 1 thing for certain, manufacture did release the video output rate
tegra3 ~ 40Mbps video for H.264
---
r tegra3 overrated?
there r tons of benchmark site out there reviewing everyday
the answer is nope...
why? game developer hv special THD game for them... and hehe u get ur answer
