NVIDIA Tegra 3 Processor

The Tegra 3 uses four 1.5GHz cores to speed up processing. The processor's two additional cores should drain the battery a lot more than in the Transformer, which is powered by dual core Tegra 2 processor, but don't. That is because in Tegra 3 NVIDIA has put a fifth core to handle tasks that require less computing horsepower, and the fifth core just sips battery power.

Tegra 3's four main cores kick in for demanding tasks such a gaming and rapid fire internet browsing, but when you settle down to read a page or watch a video, or when your tablet is just idle, the spartan fifth processor runs the show. Asus Unveils Eee Pad Transfromer Prime
