The iPhone 3GS and iPad have the PowerVR SGX535 graphics processor.

What is in the iPhone 4???
 
"3D Benchmark" is a gaming test that produces an average FPS result. The iPad was only 2.3% faster than the iPhone 4. It was 14.8% faster than the iPhone 3GS.

Maybe the game sample they used was CPU bound.

But if there is 4 times more pixels to push around than the 3GS how are full resolution games going to cope with only a 15% improvement?

Seems like the graphic chip hasn't scaled up in line with screen resolution. This may be a big problem for gamers and games running at native iPhone 4 resolution.

Hmmmmm...
