As noted previously in this thread, the Archos uses a different OMAP processor.
It was noted, but that note is not necessarily accurate
After some fairly exhaustive searching, it looks as though nobody knows exactly what chip is in the Archos 5 and Archos 7 PMPs. Archos themselves never specify beyond saying that it has an OMAP3 with a Cortex A8 processor. There are four chips in the OMAP35xx family, so it
could be any of those. There is a lot of supposition as to which chip it uses, but no reliable proof.
"- Main processor: ARM CortexTM-A8, 32 bit, In-order, dual-issue, superscalar core @ 600 MHz
- Additional processor: 32 bit DSP @ 430 MHz "
The C64x+ is only in the 3525 and 3530. The difference between the two is the SGX, which I'm guessing it doesn't have. Archos 5 is $350 - slightly more than Pandora. It's lacking in controls, RAM, and presumably 3D graphics, but has 60GB of storage (that model anyway) and a 4.8" screen.
@Chip: yeh i tried to find out which omap3 but turned up nothing i even asked around some irc channels to people who should know about that stuff.
@Exophase: i tried deduction too and came up with the same thing
one question tho, the 800mhz cortex a8 in the omap 3440 is it the same overclocked or stock ?
edit: in theory how the does the omap 3530 compares to the tegra
