Tegra 1 was able to run Quake 3 at 720p with AA at over 40 fps, which according to NVIDIA was faster than any other SoC in a handset today. I haven't personally benchmarked Quake 3 on any SoCs so I can't really validate that claim either.

Wow. It seems that Tegra 2 *will* be a powerhouse after all. Quake 3 at 720p running at 40+ fps on first gen hardware? Wow. The second generation will surely blow the pants off of any current mobile tech, including the Hummingbird!

For those that are waiting, April 2011 should have many incredible devices. As I understand it, there are some questionable quality devices available now, that offer the T20.

EDIT: Based on what I've read, the T20 should be able to effectively double the fps of something like quake 3 compared to the SGX540 on the tab.

What's interesting is the Tegra SoCs seem to have forgone the cellular modem in their designs. The benefit to this is that they can forgo the long FCC approval process and thus have shorter time to market in the US. I wonder if its similar in other countries. These devices are generally paired with tried and true cellular modems. Most impressive.
