HoloDust said: Just noticed I've posted Egypt Offscreen twice, instead of (intended) Pro Offscreen - fixed that. If you look at other test at that page, you'll see that Fill and both Triangle tests also go to MP4 by a wide margin. Admittedly, I don't know about the power usage, so doubt it's been tested at the same wattage, but whole point was and is that Vita packs much better hardware than potential Nintendo's Tegra 3 based "hybrid" would, and still isn't as close to PS360 counterparts as Switch is to PS4XBO - so Nintendo's handheld would be even further away. |
The point I am trying to convey is that the development environment for Tegra 3 was very immature and it can be a far more memory-rich environment which was a bottleneck on other SoC's.
There was no low-level nVidia based API's like there is with Tegra X1 and the SDK's were very immature.. Obviously in a closed environment like a console a lot of those overheads can go out the window.
Also... We need to remember that the Transformer Prime originally came with DDR2-500Mhz Ram. Not LDDR3-1600Mhz Ram.
Bit of a difference there that held the GPU back in the original prime... 2GB/s vs 6.4GB/s. So it's obvious it's going to come up short against the MP2 because of that, let alone the MP4.
