Are you sure of that?

The xbox 360 GPU has 48 shaders and the core cpu is a 3-core running at 3.2 GHz.

The tegra 3 is a quad core 1.4-1.6 Ghz cpu with 8 shaders. 8.

That's not console level graphics. Don't get me wrong, it's better than most phones might have, but it's literally half as fast, and has 1/6th as many shaders.

That's a massive gap. I can't help but think the stuff that runs on this phone will just be meh, especially on high res displays.

Edit: And just to give you some idea how distant that is from 'state of the art', the geforce GTX 690 is running 3072 shaders and has 4 GB of on board ram.
