Agreed that Nvidia Tegra is top notch and will probably be purchasing that device when it comes out for Sprint. However, the Exynos chip HAS proven to be a worthy contender. I have attached some of my results. I've never been a Samsung guy (only HTC) til this device came out. I'm a gamer myself and only use Nvidia for my pc's.
By no means am I trying to say the exynos doesn't have it's place, but I thought the point was which technology is better. The people who've been doing processors for decades, or the chinamen who do a little of everything... Well, if the exynos is a quad-core and it's compared to the Dual Core tegra, there are only a couple places it outshines the dual-core and graphics isn't one of them.
On a sidenote, I don't think we'll see much out of exynos in the future if the 2012 devices are an indication. Looks like samsunk will be the only ones using their chips while there looks to be a bevy of Tegra 3's on the horizon. Looks like all new HTC phones will rock the Tegra 2 and 3 and the flagship models for the other big-boys will be rocking the T3's as well. I said a year or so ago that Nvidia will dominate this market inside 5 years and it would be wise to buy stock, and I'm sticking to that.
One of the main factors would be what they're doing in the workstation market is unparalleled. Intel is going to have some big decisions to make over the next few years and will be left little option other than to buy NVIDIA (providing they sell) if developers make a move to programming in CUDA. If enough get on board, computer processors as you know them will either cease to exist, or play a miniscule role in actual processing when the GPU is capable of processing 100's of times the data in the same amount time. 448 parallel processing cores vs 8 or 16 or 32...
