MSM8655 vs. 8255

[ASUDevil]

Does anyone know the differences between these two chips found in the Thunderbolt and Inspire? Both appear to be 2nd gen snapdragon's clocked at 1GHz. I was under the impression that the 8655 in the thunderbolt was a faster processor. So far the only differences I can find is that the 8655 supports CDMA2000 and 1xEV-DO. Quadrant scores appear to be similar between the two devices. Is the only differences between the two chips network support? I am considering canceling my pre-order and sticking with AT&T after seeing how Verizon is handling the release of this device.

Correct - the two versions of the 8x55 differ only in their radio/network support.

Mobile Processors | Snapdragon | Qualcomm

Both are spec'd capable of clocking to 1.4 GHz.

Just what I was looking for. Thanks for the help.

Actually they both have two different separate Qualcomm RF chips. For instance TB has MDM9600 and it's independent from the qualcomm's CPU.
