You know Intel Atom processor is complex type of processor that usually used in PC while Nvidia tegra processor is RISC (simple) type or ARM type processor that usually used in smartphone. That's why Tablet with Intel processor price is higher.

But you can see in the table below the price for RT in only $399 while iPad 3 is $829 with the same memory (64GB). One that make iPad is very expensive is because the retina display resolution (which is not has significant effect for general using of tablet, unless for special use that need high resolution) and of course because of the brand price.
