Benchmarks show a clear advantage over everything short of GTX 700 series GPUs

Last week, NVIDIA announced the Tegra K1 mobile Kepler chipset with 192-core GPU for tablets and 2-in-1 devices, and now there is a benchmark showing its dominance.

Long story short, the chip scores better in GFXBench than pretty much every alternative.

It is 2.5 times better in graphics performance than the best Qualcomm Snapdragon chip out there (Snapdragon 800) and is similarly superior to the A7 chip in Apple's iPad Air tablet.

It also scores higher than the HD4400 iGP in Haswell processors (Intel). And since those are used in laptops instead of tablets, that's saying something.

The Tegra K1 should score more design wins than Tegra 4. We've already seen the reference tablet, with 4GB of RAM and Full HD screen. It's a 7-inch model though, so we should see a 10.1-inch and maybe some larger ones too, in the future.
