So what makes the Samsung Galaxy Tab a true iPad competitor? The answer lies in the processor.

The Galaxy Tab is powered by the Samsung S5PC110A01 Multimedia Applications Processor.

Much like the iPad's A4 processor, the 1 GHz Hummingbird processor is an ARM processor featuring package-on-package construction to improve the speed and efficiency of internal processes.

Samsung takes advantage of the Package-on-Package architecture by embedding 8Gb of MLC Flex OneNAND, 1 Gb of OneDRAM and 3Gb of Mobile DDR into the processor.

The iPad's A4 processor embeds two layers of RAM (Samsung K4X1G323PE) into the processor's three layers.
