***Official Galaxy Nexus Pre-Release speculation thread**

[EarlyMon]

I did a quick Google search and found something over at XDA where someone shares the same opinion as you regarding 4430/4460 being from same wafer though.

xda-developers - View Single Post - Galaxy Nexus & Ice Cream Sandwich 10/18/2011 Launch Live! -- chat topic

No, he doesn't share my opinion at all. Thanks for the link, I'll have to have a chat with him about this.

I believe the design documentation fully supports that the 4430 and 4460 are actually totally separate variants of the OMAP4 - and are NOT a speed/quality numbering scheme.

A post on XDA doesn't make it so.

The Wikipedia page on the OMAP 4 states 1-1.2GHz.

I wonder if this was edited to suit the fact that the RAZR runs at 1.2

 

[EarlyMon]

I'm recusing myself from further discussions of 4430/4460 - again.

Check a page or two back I posted the link & table from TI regarding the 4430. As other people stated it might be binned to 1.2, but its listed from TI at 1GHz.

Ok, here is the post I was thinking about:

It sure has. Too bad there is not more relevant G Nex info though. But alas, a fun thread to read.

From my conversations with the EE dealing with a TI rep, there are hardware instructions in the 4460 that aren't part of the 4430.

This could be because the transistors are present but disabled in the 4430 (ala 486SX), or they are new additions to the 4460 and it is not the same chip. I fully believe they are different, as there are hardware based functions only available to the 4460.

I think we're all waiting for my source to answer my PM. T'ain't happenning, though.

 

[AntimonyER]

I think at this rate we are going to hit 25k tomorrow. Hopefully I won't miss it, like I did this time with 24k.

 

[nj02vette]

Notice how all the ladies aren't turned off by the size.

Just say'in.

I was NOT going to be the one to bring up that point.

Yeah, whats up with that, maybe they are tired of being referred to as "The Source" and want something more elegant. We could recycle "Deep Throat"...

Ok, sure, fine, whatever. Gets back on something I know and NOW you want to switch topics.

Awww c'mon Steven can't you just PM another one? You must have like a bazillion of them

Some info from our past to back you up on this.

From the archives so to speak

Mention of the 4460 design sheet has 70pages more with some specifics listed

There is a treasure trove of cpu related stuff from about page 223-240 or so.

For what it's worth, a pic of the iPhone screen vs the GNex.

They both look like crap, I can't even read the text!

 

[trav473]

I'm more worried about other people being able to see the screen than how big it is in my hand.

Are you afraid of what people will see you looking at??

Guess I was a litle slow on this, thats what I get for not keeping up on my drive home. lol

 

[aimetti]

I'm trying to be patient for my first android phone (coming from iphone) and really want the sgn but starting to get old.Also besbuy has sg2 for 149 with $100 giftcard.

tempting

 

[nj02vette]

Wait. Wait a minute.

WTH!

Stephen58,
Have you been holding back from us?

 

[Martimus]

Verizon and Moto have it all figured out. It's branding! If you see someone else with a giant rectangular burn on their cheek then you know they have a Razr too! Wow! The commercial even makes sense now. It could cut through all those things because it is soooo hot. Ok, I'll stop.

Gee OTD... I know that the undead don't shave but those of us who do have to occasionally deal with something called razr burn??

And from what I've seen of the RAZR so far it doesn't get that hot! Must be chilly today in New Jersey... Steven probably picked up the warm phone with a cold hand!

OTD, are you implying that there are going to be people walking around with RAZR burn???

 

[jimbo1mcm]

RAZR + HEAT= Wasted Battery Power

 

[BLD]

Exactly.

So they have an insulator for a back, a conductor for a frame, an air/water tight seal, a heat producing center, and glass front that is both poor conductor and insulator (glass). Brilliant!
