Better To Wait For The Omap 3630?

btw, remotely related to the topic at hand, and also mildly amusing at the same time (and yes, pandora made it into the news again : )

* Smart pixel technology via OpenGL ES 2.0 delivers stunning imaging capabilities through advanced reflection effects and life-like facial features.



who writes those marketing blurbs anyway? : )

Yes because without reflections and faces, we wouldn't be able to draw 10 million polygons a second at 800 by 480.

And the CPU delivers amazing math performance by multiplying and subtracting.

 

[CCmachined]

wait for the next chipset?

No.


besides we'd be waiting 6+ more months anyway. somebody please move this thread? its interesting to talk about but shouldnt be in the main pandora section

 

[lulzfish]

Well, and the PCB has long been decided, so all we have left to do is flame the OP.
This should probably be closed.

 

[Chip]

We're a minimum of 18 months from A9-based devices shipping to the public. There is certainly no point in waiting that long, and less point to keeping this thread open.

 

[Squidge]

The OMAP 3630 is not an A9-based device. It's A8, as stated on TI's website.

Regardless of that however, there still no chance we'll be using a 3630 any time soon in the Pandora.
