Vizio, while not selling its products in the UK, had a nice surprise at CES this year: one of the only tablets with a Tegra 4 processor inside you can find anywhere in the world, outside of some death vault at Nvidia headquarters. We used it, needless to say.
The 10.1-inch slate—just a prototype for now—boasts an eye-pleasing 2560 x 1600 resolution, and was terrifically light given the horsepower inside. Unfortunately, there wasn’t really much to do to stress all of that horsepower. The tablet was pretty naked, without any games, internet connectivity, or very much in the way of processor-gulping apps to fire up. But all the apps I could find on the thing—Flipboard, the camera, Chrome—all exploded into view instantly. This thing will open apps very, very quickly. HDR camera snaps were, as promised, instantaneous, 1080p video playback was as smooth as it’d be on any full PC or laptop, and speeding through hi-res photos (the only stress test I could muster) didn’t lag even slightly.
Without a big budget game to run on this thing, it’s too early to be impressed, but the faint signs of awesomeness we can spot in the Tegra 4 in its infancy are exciting. The. Thing. Is. Fast.

ok i have just tried that very same test on my nexus 10 and its just as fast, the images
each image is a screen shot of 2560×1000 approx 1mb each
ok i know this thing is going to be faster having quad core a15 but in day to day stuff, i reckon there isnt much difference
the browser test they showed in the video earlier, using chrome, i went to the cnn website (i never go there so have no cached pages) and i counted 1 and well before i got to two it was loaded i have a 60mb fibre optic connection here, so i reckon day to day use theres not much in it
i would even say that the difference between a n7 and n10 on day to day use is negligible too.
maybe its when it comes to advanced games and complex stuff it might shine more but i dont reckon most of us could really notice much of a difference on any of the quality tablets when used from browsing looking at images etc…
(i am not saying there aren’t differences, i just reckon that they are negligible on the basic stuff we do every day)
They were also loading 22 other tabs in the background simultaneously (I think). But I agree, Nex10 & Nex4/S3 are already at the level at which I will never desire anything more, except MORE BATTERY LIFE.
yes they did, and i may have a go myself to see the difference, i will try and video it, but i dont know how i am going to open up 25 pages one after another automatically like they did, without having to go back and type the addresses in
it’s good and it’s fast
but, my opinion is that we’ve reached a level where speed is at a good rate now, thing’s are a lot faster
i think more time and effort needs to be spent on improving battery life, as still now smartphones only last about a day and a half
