Nvidia Tegra 3 Vs New iPad A5X: comparisons and performance comparison (video)

During the announcement of the new iPad was a slide shown by Phil Schiller on the chip used by Apple iPad for the third generation, able to get four times more performance than the competing Nvidia Tegra 3 . The guys at Laptop Mag have thus made ​​a video with the new iPad paired up with a Asus Prime Transformer to try to confirm as reported by Apple during the conference.
Using some benchmark software available for both platforms, the results have not confirmed Quantro reported by Schiller. Overall the new iPad seems to offer better performance in the field of 3D but nothing particularly striking, while analyzing graphics performance tests OpenGL 3D  chip A5X emerged victorious from the Tegra 3 on the benchmark 2.1 GLBenchmark getting about twice as many frames and four times the number of texture (texture pixels ).

In contrast, however, Tegra 3 is out head-on in bringing to fruition in the shortest time possible floating point calculations during some sessions, read and write thanks to an optimal memory usage and management of the operating system. Returning to the pure gaming performance, however, in tests conducted with Shadowgun and Riptide GP both platforms were aligned and performance offered only in the presence of optimization due to hardware differences are real sights, but not as sharp as had been reported from the slide Apple. You will still have to wait even more advanced games and optimized in order to determine more accurately the true performance of the new tablet.
Below is the video comparing the two platforms.

Android and Linux Kernel 3.3 in the last meeting

The announced version 3.3 of the Linux kernel has become reality. The news comes from the same Linus Torvalds, who presented it to the world has also described the news and also the platform implementations on Android , finally reunited in the mainline kernel after 2 years of 'exile':

Several features of Android and subsystems have already been built, and more will follow in the future. This will make things easier for everyone, including the independent Android developer community , or who want to support Linux distributions Android programs .

What's more, with version 3.3 of the kernel has also come support the new architecture of Texas Instruments C6x , and has been completely redesigned and balanced the possibility of having different profiles more evenly RAID in Btrfs.

Over Android has been added, even in the mainstream software Open vswitch , a useful program for the management of advanced networking that supports virtualization of more complex scenarios of 'old' Bridge Linux kernel used in the past. Regarding the management of the network will instead provide the  Network priority control group , an interface that allows the administrator to dynamically set the priority of network traffic produced by different applications.

We report also some improvement in support Exynos chipset and Ivy Bridge , in addition to the Nouveau driver used by Nvidia , all of which will be further integrated in the Linux 3.4 kernel on which several teams are already at work.
