After seeing the first preliminary results from the iPad Air 2 testing revealing that the Apple A8X uses a peculiar, tri-core CPU, today the company’s new tablet appeared on GFX Bench, showing off its capabilities as a gaming device.
Silicon battles have definitely heated up this fall as Apple’s A8X arrives with a whopping 3 billion transistors, and chances are that it is also one of the first to come with Imagination Technologies’ new PowerVR GX6650 GPU with six clusters (up from the four-cluster GX6450 on the A7).
The biggest rival on the GPU and gaming front on the Android side of the fence is the Tegra K1 chip with Kepler graphics, a chip used in the upcoming Google Nexus 9. Nvidia uses a different approach to graphics with Kepler so there is no use comparing the small, 192 shader cores directly with the large, hexa-cluster setup on the Img Tec’s GPU, but benchmarks do testify that performance-wise, the two are neck to neck. Take a look below:
