I was looking at a Nexus 7 and it has a quad core Tegra 3 proccesor. Then I read some rumors about a new Asus tablet that was rumoured to have a "VIA WM8950" processor. How do they compare? Which is better?
Thanks!

The Tegra 3 is quad-core A9 w/ low power companion 5th core.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tegra#Tegra_3The WM8950 is a single-core A9. There really is no comparison in terms of how snappy the system will feel if multiple apps are running.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WonderMediaThe graphics capabilities should technically be similar, but programmers spend more time writing games for Tegra 3, so they should run better on a Tegra 3 device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1606784

Tegra 3 is better than VIA's processor as it's more powerful and works more smoothly than VIA.Asus did choose VIA's processor to go down to lower price point.As long as the tablet it intends to built plays 1080p videos,surfs internet without hitch and has a lower price,people won't mind buying it even though it's not having huge specs.

Both are processors of different companies. Better look for thier specifications in their websites.
