"First is Nvidia is up to their old ways when quoting speeds, the chip is called a 2.3GHz part even though that is just the max turbo frequency of a single core with the others cores off. Sustained frequency or that of more than a single core is far lower and undisclosed."

"We said that it was a stopgap hack that would put the A9 cores back in to the T40, pushing out that chip and ending up with a Frankenstein hack. Today we got exactly that, A9 cores in a T40 uncore, or at least most of the uncore, some of the shaders fell by the wayside to make room for the Icera modem."

"Overall, the chip is a mixed bag of good and bad. At this point the cores are painfully outdated, the A15 was last years news, the A9 in the T4i made headlines in 2009. For CPU power this part is DOA. On the GPU side though, depending on how well the new shaders do, it may not embarrass itself there, but the Tegra 4i won’t win many graphics crowns due to it’s lack of programmable shaders. If the memory bandwidth from the uncore is a big step up from that in the Tegra 3/T30/T33, it will do just fine. If not, Tegra 4/T40 is in deep trouble. The modem, if the bugs that crippled the Asus Transformers late last year were fixed, will be quite solid."
