I think it's MORE sad that you get your rocks off on some sort of lame internet power trip. You already were rude about this exact same topic in another thread. Sounds like you got some sort of chip on your shoulder.
Furthermore, I did check the Qualcomm website and they do claim the chipset that is in the Eris has a dedicated GPU, I see no reason for them to be lying on their data sheet.
Second, there are numerous news sources that gave evidence to the contrary, which, in 99% of circumstances would be accurate. This time for whatever reason, maybe not.
Either way, it still makes you a child for just not politely bringing up the info you have.
Test Center review: HTC Droid Eris, the under-Droid | Mobilize - InfoWorld - States there's no dedicated GPU.
Should I Buy the Droid Eris by HTC or the Motorola Droid? - States no dedicated GPU in Eris.
Also, it's just my opinion on this, but if anything, it feels like comparing the Intel GMA4500MHD to a dedicated video card from NVidia or ATI. The reason I say that is because the Intel setup still technically has a chip that is dedicated to processing graphics, but it's integrated into the motherboard chipset.
The Eris may have a dedicated GPU that is part of the Qualcomm Chipset versus what seems to me that the Droid has the Texas Instruments CPU with the PowerVR (designed) GPU. The OMAP3430 Droid CPU could theoretically be paired with different GPUs, versus the MSM7600A is always going to have the same GPU because they are integrated with each other. As in cannot be seperated. Integrated being the opposite of dedicated.
And those are my THOUGHTS on why there may be this confusion on dedicated versus not with the Droid and Eris.
PS: Keep in mind, I actually like the Eris. I'm also curious as to what you meant by a "decent" GPU? What's your benchmark or source of information for that statement? Far as I can tell, there is almost no information on the graphics processing ability of the MSM7600 out there other than their published datasheet which suggested it can push 4 million triangles per second versus the Droid pushing
supposedly 7 million/second. That's an extra 75% more triangles
