The Tegra Note 7 didn't lead the pack, but it was grouped tightly with the best performers here. A couple of the tests in this benchmark are now V-Sync bounce, but as you can see in the Flower Power tests, the Tegra Note 7's GeForce GPU performs very well in comparison to other devices.

The Tegra Note 7 also does fairly well in the GLBenchmark tests we ran. In terms of theoretical peak fillrate, the Tegra Note 7 trails quite a few devices, but in actual frame rates, it was only a pair of high-end, much more expensive Samsung devices that put up better numbers.

Marco's interest in computing and technology dates all the way back to his early childhood. Even before being exposed to the Commodore P.E.T. and later the Commodore 64 in the early ‘80s, he was interested in electricity and electronics, and he still has the modded AFX cars and shop-worn soldering irons to prove it. Once he got his hands on his own Commodore 64, however, computing became Marco's passion. Throughout his academic and professional lives, Marco has worked with virtually every major platform from the TRS-80 and Amiga, to today's high end, multi-core servers. Over the years, he has worked in many fields related to technology and computing, including system design, assembly and sales, professional quality assurance testing, and technical writing. In addition to being the Managing Editor here at HotHardware for close to 15 years, Marco is also a freelance writer whose work has been published in a number of PC and technology related print publications and he is a regular fixture on HotHardware’s own Two and a Half Geeks webcast. - Contact: marco(at)hothardware(dot)com
