Yea i get where your coming from the results are a little strange..you would think the faster Tegra's would at least have parity...
Well what no one has mentioned is maybe mali 400mp4 @ 400mhz?? that could hit that mark could it not?..that and 4 A9's@1.5 with say 2mb L2 cache...duel channel controller..lpddr2 1066...after all the chip set is also smoking all the other benchmarks including Antutu...so its got to be more than just a powerfull gpu..
Does anyone have glbenchmark results?
I have to say, im a bit bemused by Krait performnce as well, if you take Anands tests, which on an MDP is always going to be optimistic...they arn't that impressive out side of linpack..and Medfield actually beats it in sunspider..(if you take the results as face value.)..if you level the clocks..the A9's wouldn't be that far off either...
Anand says that it was consuming 750mw @1.5ghz PER CORE....that seems a lot considering 28nm, new uarch and the performance comparison..could it be a dodgy process that 28nm?
Everywhere is advertising that Adreno 320 is now 4x Adreno 225..instead of only 190% which was floating around before on the other thread...that seems more like it and that would destroy A5X with some good bandwidth (which as IMR instead of TBDR its gonna need)
I have seen the Mali400 showing up in different Chinese "Clone" tablets. Seems when they advertise that there SOC has a strong GPU, its almost always the Mali400 ( Single Core ). So, it is a possibility.
But i think Arun may be right with the Vivante. Mostly this information is not picked up by most western sites, but when you look around on the Asian, it seems to show up plenty of times the reference to GPU
Vivante GC4000 ( this seems to be like a SGX543MP4 )?
With there 16 core GPU, they are probably talking about a 4 core, with each core being 4 shaders or something? Who knows ... But i'm fairly sure that its not really 16 "CORE", just marketing.
EDIT; i have those Antutu results

There is definately something memory wise going on as well.
Those results are strange. Based upon this, the K3V2 is doing 11789 ( 4th place ). Now, excluding those overclocked Tegra3's ( Rank one, and two ), you have a
TF700T what seems to be the Krait version ( 1.5Ghz ) ranking third?
Something overlooked by people?
Tegra3 @ 40nm: 80mm² ( reported )
K3V2 @ 40nm: 12 mm x 12 mm =
144 mm² package? size
Apple A5 @ 45nm: 10.01 mm x 11.92 mm = 119.32 mm²
Apple A5X @ 45nm: 12.82 mm x 12.71 mm = 162.94 mm²
Also take in account, that the K3V2 has NOT the 5th energy saving CPU core. According to Huawei they designed it "properly" to save energy. What means LP for the entire SOC instead of Tegra3 being a hybrid with only the energy saving 5th core being LP. That fits with there claim that it can offer 30% more power saving.
Now, my point is, 5th core is missing, why is the reported package size, so much bigger then the Tegra3? It has 2 * 32bit memory structure, what takes more area then the Tegra3's single memory structure. Until you look at Apple there A5X. What is the biggest part of the SOC => that SGX543MP4, in other words, it again increases the change for the K3V2 being a multi "core" GPU design ( dual or quad ).
The graphics block handles 2-D and 3-D work and helps a handset deliver 35 frames/second video compared to 13 fps for Tegra 3

Another bold claim. We have seen the GPU performing much better then the Tegra3 ( not that hard to do ), but this claims a almost 250% increase in speed. That puts it in the theoretical speed that the A5X claims compared to the Tegra3.
To be honest, the K3V2 is what starting to look, what the Apple A5x needed to have been.
