Kitten Mittens not only has a cool forum name, but good percent spread on likely hardware
Since all OEMS have stated 1.2ghz is late 2011 and the current dual is 1ghz, something's gotta' give. My guess is single core, but hope it is the Tegra 2. You all respectfully should too.
If some folks here have seen my posts in the past, I am a cynical and pessimistic SOB. I have no allegiance to any electronics, but the Tegra 2 has sold me, since did not expect such profound performance over Droid 2 1.2ghz, Droid X, Incredible and Galaxy S (Yes, I have tried them all- perhaps obsessively so....)
1. Flash is darn good (for a passively cooled device)
2. Ditto for PSX (Using version 1.5- new V2 is getting better, but 1.5 is still fastest, but sound not as good).
3. Battery life
4. Sound quality is as good as my Gmini 402 (sound quality legend)
Tegra 2 absolutely spanks the chipsets on those devices. I thought dual core was a marketing gimmick and all they were doing was dedicating a core for GPU and the other for operations. I was very wrong.
My gTablet has a custom kernel and TnT Lite 3.14. The firmware uses the Nvidia drivers well and Quadrant scores range from 2300 to 2500.
I expected Tegra 2 to either underperform to conserve battery, or perform well and drain a battery quickly. Wrong as can be on both counts.
Folks, there is a reason Android development is using Tegra 2 for reference work standards and even Samsung are adopting Tegra 2 for the Tab 2. Factor in the chipset will gain maturity while newer chipsets get launched.
Tegra 2 will be in my next device- or a similar performing dual-core, later this year. Depends on what VZW has
