    Do we really need a full sized USB host port and HDMI?

    First of all, the fact that a device uses micro anything does not automatically make it a smart phone. That's basic logic. Secondly the use of mini/micro port options doesn't mean you need adapters. Unless you call a cable with different terminating ends (one micro, one full) an adapter. For...

    I wonder what is the point of having top of the chart processing power?

    Who is this in response to? Anyway, this is how I use the term engineering sample, and the reason for my speculation on the use of ESs in a consumer product. Web definitions Engineering samples are the beta versions of CPUs that are meant to be used for compatibility qualification or as...

    I wonder what is the point of having top of the chart processing power?

    I have no idea what you're talking about. You just blamed me for spinning some point you made, but didn't make, and fault me for not saying the first 4k Pandoras shipped with engineering samples WHEN THIS IS THE FIRST I HEARD OF IT! Go back a page and show me where there was ANY indication that...

    I wonder what is the point of having top of the chart processing power?

    Hrrm. Now I have a few questions: Are there any savings passed on to the consumer when ES chips are used? Are the ES chips a special offering to those that want cutting edge now? Kind of like for those with the overclocker mentality? The OCers would buy ES units? Or is it more like the...

    I wonder what is the point of having top of the chart processing power?

    I agree. In my investigation I came to the conclusion that TI isn't using the term ES like the rest of the processor industry. I got the distinct impression that they were pulling naming convention shennaniganery and the whole thing smells fishy. I'm going to call TI later and ask for...
