My International HOX scored 14000 on antutu and 6500 on quadrant on JB.

Can a Tegra 4 powered device reach 20000 on antutu 9000 on quadrant with JB? :D

Now what do you have to say, Intel?
Your Atom is laughably inferior compared to this

This will be owned by the 28nm Exynos 5 when it arrives, it's going to be a repeat of last year, nVidia breaks in the year with a great chip then within a few months both Qualcomm and Samsung bring even better chips, and once again the Tegra devices are left behind. At least they have the Tegra Zone game store though I guess.

This announcement has just put smiles on my face...Thank God I didn't bought Nexus4...So now tell me will it be in tablet or smartphone first...MS Surface (RT) will sure upgrade to this beast...and I assume Tegra4 is only reason why MS decided to stick with Tegra3.

S4 pro with it's 28nm quadcore chipset, is one generation older than this Tegra 4 chipset, because it's A9 based, whereas Tegra 4 is A15 based, so virtually there is no comparison between the two, but let's wait for some real devices to be launched with Tegra 4, then we can compare real world usage of the two chipsets........ I hope this chip from Nvidia isn't downer just like Tegra 3..............

Bottom line folks the Exynos 5450/5440 dual quadcore (8) cores clocked at 2.0 ghz processor cpu with the Mali T658 Gpu 3gb of ram, to me Samsung is the winner in this battle. Qualcomm will come along with it's Snapdragon s4 prime in the Htc M7 which is the beginning of the Htc Evo family of devices on Sprint. This Nividia Tegra 4 looks great but not tops compared to the rest.

Exynos 5440 will crush tegra 4 in GPU but they both should be equal in terms of CPU, but tegra 4 has 1 power saving core so tegra should be better when you aren´t doing some heavy work on it. ARM 15 Cortex processors are taking pretty much energy, look at exynos 5250, but maybe NVIDIA has optimized tegra 4 but if not. Exynos 5250 is taking around 4 W when it is on max and it is only dual-core, imagine quad-core taking 8 W in your phone :).

Tegra 4 should have a GPU which has max 100 GFLOPS and Mali T-604 should perform around 250-300 GFLOPS, which is crazy but it should even beat the new SGX Rogue.

You people seem to forget that this is nVidia we're talking about. This company DOES NOT like to support tinkerers and any other individuals who work on custom roms and such.

This means that regardless of the quadrazillion of megaflops - if good ol' phone manufacturer be it LG or Asus or Motorola or whatever doesn't officially update said device to an official firmware version - that said device will be forever stuck on the official firmware. Look at all the tegra 2 phones ffs.

There is a GOOD reason I - and many others - prefer devices from Samsung, for example - because among many other reasons - the Exynos is extremely friendly to custom roms and other such tinkering. Same goes to the Snapdragon family - just look at the HD2 lol.

In short - raw power is nice, but being XDA-friendly is much much nicer. :)

I've always loved Nvidia for their amazing innovations, and this too with all respect. This is what manufacturers should be doing. Improve the GPU with the latest core design like the a-15. And this Qaud-core is just more than eouugh..!
Android need to optimise te software like what apple is doing.
Btw, I've been an android user for the past 2 years & still I'm and I love it over the iOS for the insane amount of customization in everything. But I'll have to say that, the whole Android eco-system is not optimized for the complete utilization of the at-present processors under the androin-hood's.

great looks good but looks like tegra 4 is loosing ground all thr latest phones coming out now have the latest snapdragon in it. Why are tegra 4 not pushing for earlier release is beyond me. I have tegra 2 in my phone but latest phone I want doesnt have it. Even moto x lines coming out didnt mention anything about tegra chips being in them
