NVIDIA TEGRA 3 or 1000MHz

[BobbyBobBob]

I am considering selling my ipad 1st generation 32gb and getting something else thats round about the same maybe a little better in spec and at a budget price.

I realise there are a lot of choice out there now for tablets.

I'm just getting a little bored of the old ipad and can't afford the newer models.

So my main qestion is whats the better processor NVIDIA TEGRA 3 which is what the gole nexus 7 has or 1000MHz which is supposedly what the ipad 1st gen has. I don't know the first thng about this sort of stuff which is why I've come on here to get some advice.

I am considering gettin the google nexus 7 as I can pick up a 16gb for about £170 which i can just about manage. But if anyone has any other ideas that would be appreciated.

many thanks

First generation IPads had an Apple A4 processor, which was essentially an ARM Cortex-A8 stuck to a PowerVR graphics chip. It ran at 800MHz.

The Tegra 3 is a quad core combined CPU and graphics chip running at around 1600MHhz . Naturally, it's better, as its younger, but when purchasing a tablet, the overall user experience, and the ecosystem in which it lives are generally far more important than raw processing power.

As Rojash says - it's best not to worry about the hardware too much. Just go have a play with your options. What's the main function of the tablet in your life?

Note the Google Nexus is only a 7" tablet (though they have a 10" out soon).

The iPad is 10" though they recently announced the iPad mini which is a 7.9" screen.

You say "at a budget price" but the decent tablets cost a decent price, though prices are coming down.
