Not exactly relating to the Nexus 10, but it is mentioned in the article and how supposedly this new processor can cut power consumption by 70% compared to the processor in our tablets:

Would be nice if a new model of the Nexus 10 (or 11?) could be based on this.

Trying to see if i should wait until q1 of 2013 to pick up a tegra 4 tablet. I have a transformer prime atm but i will return it soon. I read something about a15 gpu being much more powerful than the a9 that tegra 3 uses?
A15 are CPU cores and if used that would give more processing power for less battery use. (same as with today's Qualcomm S4 Krait)
As for GPU part, roumors suggest it will come with something between 32-64 cores, as opposed to 12 in Tegra 3.
I'm assuming the 2013 version of the Nexus 7 will have an A15-based processor.
Do you guys (who are enjoying the only Android tablet with an A15 processor) think there will be a significant advantage for the next Nexus 7 over the current one?
Is it worth holding out for or should I just get the current one?
Just wanted some opinions. Thanks.
Do you want a 10in tablet or a 7in tablet?
1. Do you need the latest & greatest (kinda like me if I had the money!!)??
2. What would you personally prefer, 7in or 10in (I prefer a 10in)??
3. Can you wait, understanding that the next Nexus 7 may not be an A15 based device?? Or even if there will be one??
nexus7 is a tegra 3 quad core 1.3ghz and is very fast. Probably as fast as my nexus 10.

Judging from the performance of my Nexus 7 vs my Nexus 4 (the nexus 4 kills it) Reading what you wrote would make me NEVER want a Nexus 10....
I'm interested in a 7" tablet really, if not I would just get the Nexus 10

It's Teg3 because Teg3 is at the end of its lifecycle and cheap. It's fast because it's pushing less than half the pixels of the N10. It's got awful IO because it's an Asus-produced tablet. The odds of getting a high-end chip like the A15 in a $199 device are pretty sliim.
The A15 is an immensely powerful processor. The Tegra3 might keep things just as smooth on the UI, but the A15 can keep things smooth with much less speed needed. On the custom kernel from Ktoonsez if you try out the PegasusQ I have it set so that for UI tasks the processor stays at or below 400MHz at all times, and it is still very smooth. On older processor architectures you generally need 700MHz+ to get decent smoothness.

I bet you the updated Nexus 7 will have a Snapdragon S4 Pro processor.

I have both. Nexus 10 is much faster. If the nexus 7 had the nexus 10s CPU it would be so fast as the resolution is much lower.

Considering how many pixels the n10 is pushing with a real full multitasking OS, the n10 is extremely fast. Even pushing less pixels, my n10 loads and renders webpages and browses much faster than the n4. N7 cant hold a candle to the n4 and likewise spec for spec, the exynos 5250 dual is the most powerful processor available. Wait until the s4 gets this processor. 12 Gbps bandwidth. Can push wuxga and do HDMI out for 1080p at 60 fps. My n10 never gets hot and its not even on mature software. It will be amazing when this beast gets in a phone or smaller screen tablet. Currently nothing else on android is even able to push the pixels this chip can. Samsung is a monster. I think other than apple that Samsung and Qualcomm are carrying the mobile market.

If only we had one of apple chips for android. That would Be amazing

Why? The CPU we have is plenty powerful for anything we need, and faster than the iPad's A6X processor already. Dont know why you would want to step down in CPU power...

Also, here is difinitive proof on the A15 vs the A9:

The GPU in the iPad is a lot faster, but the GPU isnt necessarily part of the CPU. The Nexus 10 uses a Mali T604 GPU, and the iPad uses a PowerVR brand SGX554-mp4 GPU. The Mali T658 GPU might actually be faster though, it is basically what we have now x2
so will the gnex be a high end phone as in having desktop convergence? according to their website, for it to be a high end phone, it needs to have a quadcore a9 processor. otherwise it fulfills every other aspect. this phone has a dualcore a9 processor, so will there be desktop convergence. I really hope there will be I want to try it out.
Well from what I saw, every video demo etc. Was specifically the galaxy nexus. At one point I did see "a" phone connected using the desktop feature. Each phone I saw using the Ubuntu mobile has been the nexus.
Edit : I've also heard the specs released aren't final and just a figure for certain phones.

the entry specs are
1Ghz Cortex A9
512MB – 1GB
4-8GB eMMC + SD
Multi-touch
hig end specs are
Quad-core A9 or Intel Atom
Min 1GB
Min 32GB eMMC + SD
Multi-touch
so i think The Galaxy Nexus is just a "normal" UbuntuPhone device

that's OEM specs, which doesn't mean much for download/install version potentially. The values of which would have been decided are best to give the full desktop experience - including downloading alot of desktop apps. Time will tell, but I suspect desktop version will run perfectly on GNEX, or any other internal memory only phone - it's just a matter of keeping your eye on space available when you are installing Ubuntu native apps.
I'm also wondering if the Desktop Feature will simply be disabled on devices with lower than recommended specs. I have seen some Ubuntu on Android videos using a Motorolla Atrix II which has exactly the same hardware as the GNex. It ran the desktop and even Ubuntu TV pretty good considering it was early in development (1 year ago) and running ontop of Android with bridges to access the phone settings and apps.

The HD 7 is powered by a quad-core 1.2GHz MediaTek MT8125 processor with 1GB RAM. It's not the same as the Tegra 3 chip powering the original Nexus 7, but it delivers performance that is largely similar in most applications. Where it does falter, however, is gaming. It only managed 14 frames per second in the Taiji graphics benchmark and intensive games like N.O.V.A. 3 really tripped the HD 7 up, with load times in excess of five minutes and barely playable frame rates. General system performance is reliable and relatively speedy, matching the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 and besting the HP Slate 7. Web browsing scores were surprisingly solid, with a Sunspider score of 1470 milliseconds and a Browsermark score of 2191. None of these scores, however, can come close to the new Nexus 7, which absolutely dominates the MeMO Pad HD7 in the performance department. Navigating the system and launching apps didn't yield anything beyond your typical Android stutters and occasional lag. If you want the absolute best for reasonable money, that'll be the Nexus 7. If you want good enough for the least money, that'll be the HD 7.
For the Aionol Crystal: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Ainol-Novo-7-Crystal-Quad-Core-Tablet.92243.0.html
The SoC is built by the Chinese manufacturer Actions Semiconductor and is dubbed Actions ATM 7029. The manufacturer's website specifies four ARM Cortex A9 processors in this SoC, which would be a considerable powerhouse for this price. However, the cores' clock rate of 1 GHz is not very high. Ainol's Novo 7 Crystal Quad Core only offered a poor performance in the synthetic as well as processor benchmarks and constantly placed itself at the lower end.

I Did Read And View Alot Of Reviews For These Devices But I Want A Suggestion From Someone Who Has Actually Used Any Of These Tablets Or Has Some Experience With Android Hardware(Cpu,Gpu Stuff)...
Hi,
I was just wondering: is there a difference between the Galaxy Alpha's Exynos 5 Octa 5430 processor and the Galaxy A7's Exynos 5 Octa 5430 processor? Judging by the name, they do have the same processor, but I recently watched a speed comparison between the two devices, and the Alpha was faster compared to the A7. Of course, the A7 is considered as a mid-ranged phone.
Are they the exact same processor, or are they just clocked at different speeds?
(Just genuinely curious They do have the same name, after all.)
alpha is fastter becuse the hd resoliton and a7 is full hd....i recomend alpha ...best phone ever
Alpha is much better phone , No doubt .
Anytime anyday .
Here in india , A7 got Snapdragon 615 Lol
If u want bigger phone ,than Galaxy note 3 is miles better than A7 with almost same price
Its the same processor Exynos Octa 5430
But Alpha is much faster because of 720P resolution
Mali-T628MP6 doesn't good on 1080p Full HD
See Note 3 Exynos Version its the same exynos octa 5430 and Mali-T628MP6
