ASUS Transformer Prime Could Topple iPad 2: Top 10 Reasons Why

ASUS has unveiled the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime, an ultra-thin tablet with a powerful quad-core processor.  Apple Inc. last year claimed more than 90 percent of the tablet market with its iPad.  In the recent quarter, Samsung's Galaxy Tab and other tablets cut Apple's market share to less than 70 percent.  Asus, the world's fifth-largest seller of personal computers, is poised to
make the iPad look outdated with the revolutionary features of the second-generation Transformer, which will hit shelves in December.
Quad-Core Processor.  The Eee Pad Transformer Prime is the world's first tablet with the NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core processor.  The up to 1.3GHz in a quad-core configuration processor gets a boost with 1GB of RAM and beefy 32 GB / 64 GB of storage.  The iPad 2 sports an A5 1 GHz dual-core processor, 512 MB of RAM and 16 GB to 64 GB of storage.  With the quad-core CPU, 12-core GeForce GPU and vSMP technology, the Transformer Prime provides extreme multitasking capabilities, lightning fast app loading, a rich and fluid web experience, full 1080P HD video playback or recording without compromising battery life, and of course, console-quality gaming.  Laptop Mag says some benchmarks are showing a huge improvement of the Tegra 3 over Apple's A5 processor.  Also known as Kal-El, the Tegra 3 chip is a quad-core processor that uses a Variable SMP architecture to activate the four cores to deliver power as needed, according to Laptop Mag.  While it offers 3 times the graphics performance of its predecessor, Tegra 3, which is based on the Cortex-A9 processor design from ARM,actually draws less power (61 percent less), thanks to a fifth low-power companion core.
