At this point, noone knows. The best you can possibly get from a thread like this is wild guesses. I'll give you mine:
Your guess is as good as mine. And that's just a wild guess.
yes we know...
the win8 devellopper edition can work on tegra 2 system.. but the final version will only work on tegra3+ or same power chip... no hope for tf101
if you read french see here :
http://www.presence-pc.com/actualite/windows-8-arm-44998/
for resuming, the final version will need a compatible Direct3D 9.3 processor..
5XT PowerVR processor or Adreno 22x Qualcomm for gpu (or something of the same power) and cortex A9 or better cpu...
the tegra 2 is not compatible...
FFS! Search before posting.
Wherever i find a discussion in net or top ten tablet like listing they yell transformer transformer. I dont know what the special transformer has to be top number 1 tablet of 2011. What about our xoom?
If you're referring to the new (soon to be released) Transformer Prime, the specs kill the Xoom across the board, screen, processor, gpu...
And if not, well...sorry I'm mistaken.
I've been looking at alot of material that suggests the Tegra 3 is weak compared to both the A5 as well as A5X,
http://www.anandtech.com/show/5163/asus-eee-pad-transformer-prime-nvidia-tegra-3-review/3
this shows some benchmarks between the prime and the ipad 2
edit 23/05/12:
after much debate I finally got the One X and decided benchmarks are not at all accurate with the difference being in software, OS, hardware, etc. being hard to actually benchmark universal and accurately.
after playing shadowgun, riptide and running plenty of apps, watching the beautiful smooth graphics and tegra 3 technology; who's to say which phone is better or worse, all that matters is that the htc one x performs excellent! and I look forward to more tegra 3 optimized apps and games.

At least we know that the A5x is not "4x better than" the Tegra chip.
Look more like 20% than 4x. How can they lie like that?
thats weird, because this video shows it is just over 3 x as powerful ???
http://www.tuaw.com/2012/03/16/ipad-a5x-cpu-vs-asus-transformer-prime-tegra-3-cpu-benchmarks/
this is a benchmark of fps between transformer prime vs ipad3 in the gpu arena? am i missing something here? not sure if the tuaw are using the old linpack test which is stated on gizmodo as not being accurate so they didnt carry that one out???
" (Note: We planned to use the age-old Linpack standard test to evaluate CPU performance, but the Linpack apps for iOS and Android are very different, and their results could not be accurately compared.) " gizmodo - http://gizmodo.com/5893970/ipad-test-notes-speed-versus-tegra-3
im not sure like i said above if tuaw are using the old linpack standard test which could be giving false readings and showing the benchmark for ipad to be just over 3x as powerful as the tegra 3 which might be false benchmark figures,
Ipad 3 -> all

Paid by apple I would assume.
stupid test IMO
i can agree that the a5x gpu is faster than the T3 but the numbers shown at the gl benchmark is totally biased !!
you need to remember that ANY app that is on the app store goes throgh an apple tech guy and is being optimized to the device before its published.
this is not the case with android market where anyone can put whatever they want , and most of the games/apps are not optimized for a single device (btw that is why apple devices are so good the software is optimized with that device)
i am an android dude myself but i do appreciate apple devices , but from a technological POV if the transformer prime were to be optimized with its os, gpu drivers, and games/apps it will be better than the """new ipad"""

Bull****.
Apple goes through the apps and checks that they work like they should. Apple doesn't tweak or optimize the apps.
The fact is that iOS is better optimized for the hardware it runs on, and since Apple makes both, it's not shocking that their products runs better.
The latest tests shows that the A5X wins at graphical processing while the Tegra 3 wins in calcualtions and memory handling .. and lately they discovered the processing of the A5X and the retina display makes the new iPad get hotter than the iPad 2 by 10 degrees

I thought Samsung made the hardware, well at least the processor?
ZDNet compared iPad3 and Transformer Prime
ZDNet is quite inconclusive, comparing two games, namely Shadowgun and riptide, in a Tegra3 and an A5X device. While the iPad3 has a little crispier colors and text display (thanks to its Retina display), the Prime displays some special graphics effects not to be seen on the iPad3 (yet). So in the end it depends on the other hardware components and the software optimization I guess..
Tegra needs to out do apple

Everyone needs something, doesn't mean they'll get it. Though I am on a G2x and believe the Tegra 2 out does the 4s, that iPad is powerful, if only we could slap android on that hoe.
And to people saying that iOS is better optimized for the hardware, you don't think companies just slap Android on these phones right? Some phones seem like it though which is what gives android a bad name for some. But then some custom ROMs come around and can fix a whole wave of problems for phones (especially my G2x).
Sadly though, I don't think NVidia will ever release Tegra 2 drivers for ICS G2x.

They won't release apps that have accurate benchmarks though and will show that their products aren't so revolutionary. I mean seriously, I like apple, but hate their "Somebody did it first but since we did it months later it's revolutionary," mindset.

Hi Everyone,
I am looking for a really good Android tablet (version 4.0 - ICS). Great display, 1GB RAM, and Dual Core or Quad Core CPU.
I am checking the web and there are tons of tablets. Samsung is NOT the only option. The Chinese versions seem very conveniently priced.
So, what is really the best and fastest tablet out there today?
Thanks
Toshiba Thrive is AWESOME! But little development and no ICS YET, but is scheduled to get it

I've heard really good things about the Asus Transformer Prime and so far they've been really good at keeping their products up to date and supporting them. I've tinkered around with one in Best Buy and was impressed. Sleek and fast. And it's quad core
I can't say enough about the Asus Transformer Prime w/ dock. Very high quality device.
Also think the Asus Transformer Prime is awesome!
Don't buy the Prime just yet! Wait for the Asus Transformer Infinity or the Padfone!
Best and fastest tablet out right now? Nothing other than the awesome ASUS Transformer Prime.
I still prefer iPad due to the selection of Apps (Android is severely lacking here), but Android is awesome for its customization and openness,
I currently own a Transformer (original) and I would highly recommend the prime, if it lives up to half of what my transformer does it is an incredible tablet. Also has a good amount of development and is a powerhouse

Try Iberry Auxus It Is Cheap ANd Very Good
Here http://iberry.asia/
has to be asus TF !
I have an Asus Transformer Prime. It is really great. Not only the prestations but also the design of the TFP. I recommend you to consider the Asus Transformer Prime!
Motorola Xoom is the best one I tried so far, with ICS of course.
TF Prime. I have had it for 3 months now. Monster.

One of my friends has the Asus Transformer Prime and it's great.
Motorola Xoom:
Make it a GED and you can't go wrong, just got the 4.0.4 OTA update, it runs so smooth
Transformer Prime is on top right now. and the dock is a MUST have for this tablet.
tablet
if u want for development then try auraslate lifepad
Yeah, the Asus Transformers Prime. Its Awesome.
Only downside of the TFP is there aren't really good ROMs jet.

Seeing as how nearly 70% of the apps aren't even working properly on a Tegra 3, I can't see much point of the Tegra 4 yet beyond simple progress.

What apps arent available on tegra 3 yet? I've found that on my Prime everything is available on it vs my tf700. Even games were quickly available on Prime ie. Dark Knight, Wild Blood. Including EA games like Need for Speed Most wanted, Mass Effect 3. So I wo I wouldnt discount Tegra 4 just yet...
I'm actually looking forward to the gpu on the tegra4. It's really the only thing their missing.

I think he wants to say that they are not optimized for tegra 3.
Also I can only see hardware bashing.
I just would like to be able to install games period to my $400 tablet!
Mainly the gameloft games, that I bought.
And tons I want to try out, just not on my tiny 4.5" screen phone.

I totally agree but the issue I think are the devs. They tend to be lazy and only want to add support certain devices. A great example would be Prime and Nexus 7 which are Tegra 3 devices and have a lot of apps and games available for it. Gameloft and EA included. Tf700 does not. But if you side load the games, a lot of them will actually work. Less with EA games though. So for most its probably just adding tf700 as compatible in the play store.
Based on that I dont think it matters too much if you have Tegra 3, 4, 5 or 6 but more device model specific whether app will be available for it or not.

Whoa looks like the GPU will be running past the retina resolution with T4.
1440p video processor?...flat screen LCD TV's have just started showing up in this resolution.
Looks like the big deal with Tegra 4 is the smaller micron die that the processor is built on.
12 nm smaller less heat less power used.
Here we go with the next best thing
