Marketing people are definitely going to handpick. But still last year's iPad 2's GPU easily beats this year's Tegra 3 in every test. There is no question the PowerVR SGX543MP4 is going to absolutely demolish and mop the floor with the Tegra 3 in GPU performance. And of course the iPad will need that power to game on such a high resolution display.
Tegra 3's GPU is sufficient for 1280x800 displays. Gets a bit more questionable on tablets with 1920x1200 displays if you are gaming.
But for the most part Android tablets, while improving the CPU performance have severely neglected the GPU performance. While Apple has made that a priority because so much of it's UI has been GPU accelerated for a long time and Google is slowly been moving there.
All the ARM manufactures are releasing 32nm SoCs this year. Qualcomm's first S4 unfortunately still uses an old GPU, but will be refreshed after the second half of the year with a much improved GPU. Samsung's Exynos 5 series I believe will have a GPU right away and might arrive before Summer time. The TI OMAP 5 is going to feature the same GPU Apple used last year. I'm doubtful any of these GPUs will catch up to what Apple is using this year.

1 test was close to twice as fast, another was only about 25% faster, and the rest were pretty much neck and neck. Got to love hand picking what results you want to show

I wish I could comment further.
