Just noticed I've posted Egypt Offscreen twice, instead of  (intended) Pro Offscreen - fixed that.
iPad 3 (with MP4) is well above Tegra 3 even more in that one (3x as much, vs "only" 2x in Egypt)

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.
