Qualcomm CMO disses NVIDIA: 'we clean Tegra 4′s clock'
Qualcomm's outspoken Chief Marketing Officer is the man for the job, it seems, as he gave a lengthy interview where most of the conversation was dedicated to NVIDIA bashing.
Tegra 3 right now competes with the likes of Snapdragon S4 (Pro), and NVIDIA got a definite lead in the tablet game, as most Android slates last year were shipping with its quad-core processor, but Qualcomm's CMO Anand Chandrasekher thinks this is about to change this year big time with the introduction of Snapdragon 600 and 800, and, judging by the slow start of orders for the Tegra 4, he might be on to something. Here's the full scoop:
Snapdragon S4 Pro is better, faster than the commercially shipping Tegra 3… On benchmarks published by Anantech, S4 Pro is twice as fast than the fastest Tegra processor commercially available, said Chandresseker in an exclusive interview with TechPulse 360.
Nvidia just launched their Tegra 4, not sure when those will be in the market on a commercial basis, but we believe our Snapdragon 600 outperforms Nvidia’s Tegra 4. And we believe our Snapdragon 800 completely outstrips it and puts a new benchmark in place.
So, we clean Tegra 4′s clock. There’s nothing in Tegra 4 that we looked at and that looks interesting. Tegra 4 frankly, looks a lot like what we already have in S4 Pro...
Yes, they [Nvidia] had the perception [of superior graphics] help them for some time, and that helped them for some tablet wins. I think that would change. The world is increasingly becoming aware that what we have in CPUs and graphics is beyond what anybody has. So usually that technical awareness happens at the OEMs and that takes a while for products to emerge…
Empirically, we completely beat them on graphics performance!
