Texas Instruments has a video posted online in which the manufacturer of the graphics power of its new Omap5 processor shows. The soc is compared with the chip in the latest iPad, which with a small margin is defeated.
Texas Instruments compares its latest system-on-a-chip, a dual-core-Cortex A15 design, with the fastest tablet of the moment, that the manufacturer is most likely the third-generation iPad mean. TI used the 2.5 version of GLBenchmark, where the resolution on 1920×1080 pixels was set. The test was also ‘offscreen’ twisted, so vsync is not restrained may play a role. In both cases the Omap5-soc to be faster than the fastest tablet as of this moment.
That is not very surprising. For example, the Omap5-soc like the latest iPad a PowerVR gpu, but then of the type SGX544, while the A5X soc in the iPad SGX543-gpu. It has the SGX544 only two gpu cores, while the SGX543 in the iPad there four. Nonetheless, the SGX544 faster, most likely because it has a much higher clock speed, made possible by the 28nm process on which the Omap5-soc is fried.
All in all, it can be said that the Omap5-soc on a decent amount of graphics power. In the new iPad is the gpu used to be a display of 2048×1536 pixels; approximately 50 percent more pixels than 1920×1080, which makes a lot of tablets equipped.
