In the wake of Intel's Pentium III launch, a slew of product announcements and upgrades have ensued, upping the ante on the desktop question of whether to buy now or wait for the maximum-performance chip set.
So the options with Nvidia are to either increase its chip size, or pack more powerful performance within the same chip size.
The new fourth generation iPad features the amazing 9.7-inch Retina display and includes a new Apple-designed A6X chip that delivers up to twice the CPU performance and up to twice the graphics performance of the A5X chip, all while delivering an incredible 10 hours of battery life in the same thin and light iPad design.
But sheer chip performance has turned out to be a weak selling point so far.
This included extended chip performance and battery life along with several in-built visually related features.

First, it launched a PR offensive against the so-called megahertz myth, correctly pointing out that megahertz is only part of what measures a chip's performance.
Internally the Desire X is powered by a 1GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 8255 buffered by 768MB RAM and though you might think the inclusion of that recent Qualcomm chip has the performance zipping along unperturbed -- well, you'd be wrong.
They try to deliver to an institutional investor base that requires blue chip, steady state performance.
