How does nokia N1 performs against nexus 9

Nokia, on monday revealed to launch a new product without indicating any details. the mysterious black happens to be a tablet named 'nokia N1' the tablet was launched yesterday and created a lots of buzz because of its resemblance with ipad. The build material, size, camera position looks very similar to ipad mini.

But the tablet still managed to gain some keen interest from many people around the world. This could price to be a rival to ipad, nexus and many other tablets. This was Nokia's comeback and they wanted to be a hit. So they put everything top of the line with providing premium build quality. specs are very much similar to recently launched nexus 9 but has very different designs and build quality which can be a differentiating point in consumer's desision making.

The benchmarks are very iimpressive too. The 64 bit Intel chip already have outperformed many chips and is competing against Qualcomm's snapdragon 805 and Nvidia K1. Here are some benchmarks.

s805 outperforms z3580 but but slightly edges the s801

z3580 and s805 almost neck to neck s801 has a lower score

z3580 outperforms both in CPU performance

It seems like it is almost as fast as snapdragon 805 but 805 provides better graphics performance. Nvidia tegra K1 also gives a fair competition to intel Z3580. But the PowerVR G6430 won't match the Adreno 420 and Tegra K1 GPU in terms of graphics performance, saying that it can run all games without breaking a sweat. The real life performance may vary and power consumption is a very important factor too considering different architecture.
