What is the Difference Between NVIDIA Tegra 3 and Samsung Exynos 4210?

NVIDIA Tegra 3 and Samsung Exynos 4210 are both Multiprocessor System-on-Chip (MPSoC) architectures used in mobile devices. Here are the main differences between the two:

CPU Architecture: Tegra 3 uses a triple-core ARM Cortex-A9 CPU running at up to 1.4GHz, while Exynos 4210 has a dual-core Cortex-A9 CPU clocked at 1.2GHz.
GPU: Tegra 3 features an NVIDIA GeForce GPU, while Exynos 4210 uses ARM's Mali-400 MP4 GPU.
Memory: Tegra 3 supports dual-channel LP-DDR2 memory, while Exynos 4210 supports single-channel LP-DDR2 memory.
NEON Support: Both Tegra 3 and Exynos 4210 support NEON SIMD extensions, but only Tegra 3 supports MPE (Media Processor Engine).
Manufacturing Process: Both Tegra 3 and Exynos 4210 use a 45nm manufacturing process.
64-bit Support: While Tegra 3 supports 64-bit computing, Exynos 4210 does not.

In summary, NVIDIA Tegra 3 and Samsung Exynos 4210 have different CPU and GPU architectures, with Tegra 3 offering better GPU performance and 64-bit support. Exynos 4210, on the other hand, has a higher CPU clock speed and supports NEON SIMD extensions.
