i think gpu wise it will be as fast as the ipad 2 gpu if not faster.

In terms of CPU-intensive tasks, we're 'only' looking at a doubling of Tegra 2 performance. Nevertheless, it's a CPU comparison with Intel's Core 2 Duo T7200 processor that NVIDIA uses as evidence for its claim that Tegra 3 is the first "PC-class processor for truly mobile devices."

Looks very promising.

But what kind of power draw are we looking at?

shouldnt be much if you dont use some very cpu/gpu intensive apps/games
It has a fifth core that is very low power that handles all the basic stuff. The other 4 cores arent used if there is no need for them.

I hope someone launches a Verizon LTE Tegra 3 tablet soon...

For those who haven't already seen this, here is Kal-El flexing its muscles on a Lost Planet 2 port without making any sacrifices.

Seriously

That's definitely making some sacrifices but still impressive.
