Whoa. Weibo communiqué:
Apple fanboiz have dismissed AnTuTu in the past. But now that the iPad Air 2 outscores all Android tablets, will they begin to use this as a cudgel against Android users?

Third Nexus 9 Video Has AnTuTu Score

AnTuTu For iOS Is Available
Is the lack of memory expansion still a deal breaker for you?
It’s not in stores to test yet. Nor is the Nexus 9.
I wonder how much Apple paid Antutu.
Since Lei Jun of Xiaomi has money in AnTuTu Labs, I doubt any payola was involved.
This is likely accurate, given that the A8X chip has 3 CPU cores and 1 billion more transistors than A8 chip, which has 2 billion transistors. For reference, Intel i7 Haswell 4 core with GPU is under 2 billion transistors. This makes it probably the largest SOC available.
