    Apples vs oranges.

    Tip is a full automatic and the F1/DSG is a manual gearbox with automatic engagement.

    The Tip in the 997 Turbo is from MB-AMG, same 5-speed box AMG uses in their car, and as auto box goes this one is as bulletproof as they gets, it's actually has a higher torque cap than either the Ferrari F1 or the VW/Audi DSG.

    In the 997 Turbo the tip's torque converter allows the turbos to spool up first before the launch, hence faster acceleration. It also shifts faster than the 6-speed manual and that's why the Turbo is faster.

    FWIW, for Porsche the Tiptronic is in it's final hours. It is said that there'll be no more Tips in Porsches after they introduce their PDK ("DSG").

    Wait until the PDK is out and you'll probably a lot of money if you got a tiptronic-turbo.
