Numbers don't lie (well… mostly) and a recent preview of the Viewsonic G Tablet by Anadtech confirms what we've been suspecting for a while: NVIDIA's Tegra 2 is the most powerful mobile chip on the market. Whether it is at the SunSpider Javascript benchmark, Rightware BorwserMark or BenchmarkPi (pure computation) - Tegra 2 clearly wins. In other benchmarks, like LinPack, it is extremely close to the best. But as you might expect for a company like NVIDIA, it simply crushes the competition when it comes to gaming and 3d-graphics. In Quake 3 Arena, Tegra 2 blows away Samsung's Hummingbird processor (The Galaxy Tab chip) by a whopping 53%. To be fair, the NVIDIA driver team has had a long experience with that particular app... still, this is a huge margin.
The best part is that Tegra 2 is starting to show up in devices like the ViewSonic G Tablet, and we've been hearing left and right that more are on the way. It's fair to say that those who speculate that the Blackberry Playbook features an NVIDIA Tegra 2 may be right. We do know that the Playbook uses a dual-core ARM Cortex A9 central processor, and that the only design that was shipping at the time of the demo was NVIDIA Tegra... but of course, nothing is certain, as a couple of other newer designs do feature Cortex A9.
