You realise durijng normal use the gpu is barely taxed to right? It is still the cpu that processes it all, a gpu is not used nearly as much as the cpu thats a technoligical fact. Multi-tasking is especially a cpu thing.

And because of how iOS is written, multi-tasking isn't as CPU-intensive. It sandboxes apps and minimizes the footprint of each. It's not a system I'm terribly fond of but it works pretty well in mobile devices, minimizing the amount of CPU and RAM you need in a device while also extending battery life.

Doesnt change the fact its moe intensive on CPU then GPU.  CPu is way more important in a tablet then the gpu.

Have you ever coded anything in your life? I'm guessing that answer is "no".

Yes I have but thats irrelevant. I have worked in IT in development as well as now in an operational role. The CPU is used way more doing evryday tasks. Again its why business pc's come with good cpu's but just motherboard GPU's.

You keep repeating that without the slightest understanding of why that's the case. Tablets are not PCs. They are not required to do the same things. Tablets are used for multimedia purposes faaaaaaaaar more than business PCs, which are built for pure data-crunching. To top that off, business PCs use cheap GPUs because even the most underpowered GPU can run an internet browser, which is the most demanding requirement of most business PCs (outside of operating system animations). Totally different beasts for totally different markets.

Go ahead and boot up Call of Duty on that business PC and let me know how that works out for you.

Anyway, I'm done with this asinine pissing contest. I don't care about the iPad 4 or Nexus 10. They're both quality tablets. I have coding work to finish tonight.
