Sure but that doesn't really count as is almost the same in terms of power.

No it isn't.
It holds it's own though, especially with the tegra optimized games

Im pretty sure the shader effects in tegra takes a lot of RAW performance out of the GPU and games without effects are just boring to look at.

Agreed. In terms of THD gaming however, HTC is indeed the best.
Define Powerful...!
CPU wise no, GPU wise arguable. THD games work well with the HOX and T3.
S4Pro once optimised will possibly be the best CPU on the market, but T4 is due as well. Exynos is pretty powerful as well as shown in the Note 2.

I ran tegra games flawless on my s3 and s2. And it can play games like hox can't play... Like any game not specially optimized for tegra xD gaming experience really sucks on my hox. Still love it and beats s3 in user experience

this is starting to change
GLU games, Sega and EA all run great too without THD certification
as for Gameloft they just fixed wildblood with a tegra specific update it runs very smooth now AND STILL USING ONE CORE, this goes to show that Tegra is a lot more powerful than what some benchmarks make it sound, for instance tegra has 5x the vertex power of the Mali400 on the SGS3 just run the vertex test in GL benchmark and you will be shocked
Mali has better shader and pixel fill rate, Tegra has much better vertex output, so if you want to average the results they are almost equal, unless a game is really shader heavy it will run on the s3 better and if a game is really vertex heavy it will run better on t3, finally both device get the same results in the pixel/shader heavy GL bench 2.5 HD test @720p
finally no, many THD games can not be made to run on the S3, chainfire is old now and hasnt been updated since ages
Shadowgun THD, Horn and many other Tegra games can not be made to run on the S3
the notion of playing Tegra games on other devices has been long dispelled, especially if those games are really Tegra optimized

Bang bang racing looks visually impressive maybe too much for the xperia play to run?
From what ive read if youve rooted your phone installed chainfire 3d and then installed the nvidia tegra2 drivers the play can run SOME tegra 2 games?
I was just wondering if anyone who knows what there doing has got bang bang racing running on there xperia play before i spend the next few hours messing up my phone trying
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
I can't attest to how well the XPlay will run Bang Bang Racing, but Chainfire3D will definitely run Tegra games. Follow these instructions:
http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/08/25/how-to-install-and-use-chainfire3d-on-samsung-galaxy-s2/
They're for the Galaxy S2, but it's the same process. It works.
Nice one for that i will try and get chainfire up and running on my play. I thought the galaxy s2 had a tegra 2 chipset anyway what do u need chainfire for?
Bang bang racing anyone... Any luck?

Galaxy S2 does not have at tegra 2 chipset. It has a better gpu than the current tegra 2 chips.

The Mali-400 GPU in the GS2 is only better, as it's a newer generation of chip. Once Nvida release the Tega III in a couple of months, it will be pretty outdated

it sort of works on the xperia Arc S, then fc just as track loads up grrr. need to root it so I can try chainfire 3d on it. Had no joy with it on my archos 70 (yes that crappy thing) LOL
No luck
Even with chainfire 3d pro and nvedia plugins doesn't seem to run...hmmm...installed the game and still says minimum hardware requirement not met...??? though my phone is galaxy note...
So Max Payne is out today and its Tegra 3 enhanced. I had a One X with the Tegra 3 version of Shadow Gun and it had some nice effects over the version I now run on the S3. Is anything going to be developed on Chainfire to allow us to play these advanced versions of these games on our Mali GPU?
My S3 runs ShadowGun, NOVA3, GTA3 and any other advanced game I throw at it no problems (better than my HOX in most cases).
Will there be any Mali enhanced games or do I just have to hope Chainfire pulls a little magic out the bag?
I hope something is cooking for this.

Not for Tegra 3 games at the moment.
I've been playing Max Payne on the S3 and it looks good enough. You can also adjust the screen resolution from inside the game.
Even if the Tegra 3 enhanced version had some better effects I doubt it would make that much difference to the game play. But I do hate it when they give all the good stuff to the Tegra versions.

Nvidia is paying developers to code especially for their Tegra chips. It really has nothing to do with actual power or capability...
I'd like to add that I think 3D games or any hardcore games are terrible on a phone IMHO. Also kills battery life like its no ones business. Give me a big screen and controller any day. Scramble and Words with Friends on the other hand...
Yeah, I get cramps in my hands while playing those games that you need to always keep your thumbs on.. But they are still fun to play around with... It's mostly awesome to just have max payne and gta 3 on my phone

Actually you can't force it to use only one of the main cores it will always use 2 you can force it to use the power save core but that will make your phone basically unusable.
There is an app called core control made by meltus which let's you turn off cores.

Same here. I use two cores for gaming, simple tasks, and it doesn't lag at all. On Dead trigger, I'm getting 30-40 fps on two cores. The battery is much better when using 2 cores than 4 cores.

I didnt buy hox just because its quad core, if u did, thats funny. And just because i turned off 2 cores now, doesnt mean i cant turn 2 back on when i need the power boost. It litterally takes 5 seconds. Answering to other queation, yes, there is such mod in development section, sense only though.

Useless and very laggy on Nexus 7 (and other tegra 3 devices) because nvidia's GPU sucks. I don't understand why nvidia has not switched to tile based rendering.
These games perform much MUCH better on my old Galaxy S2 with the Mali400 gpu.
Sorry for the rant post, it's just that the nexus 7 is my first device with tegra SoC, and I'm very disappointed in its graphics performance.

It looks great but runs leggy.
Though the Mali-400 is powerful enough for the typical Mobile gamer for the next couple of years, newer Mobile GPU's will be able to run PS3 games (there has been quite some progress over the years). As a result, Developers may begin writing new games or porting existing games from the PS3 or XBox 360 to the the mobile platform. Neglecting Battery performance, don't you all think it will still be great to finally play some real games?
The ultimate question is,
What GPU Do You All Speculate will be in the Note III?
For your convenience the following is a current comparison of what is currently available on the market,
http://kyokojap.myweb.hinet.net/gpu_gflops/
The iPad 4 is quite powerful; the PowerVR on the Galaxy S4 can achieve in the low 50's in terms of GFLOPS, somewhere below the line of the current iPad 4. (According to AnandTech)
Why not the sgx544 mp3 with a higher clock like all previous generations?

I would speculate the Mali T-628
