So the headlines this morning is that Google will use the OMAP chip for ICS. I guess I shouldn't be too surprised since they bought out/ merged with Motorola. The problem I'm having is why did they want to go with a inferior chip set? I mean when the Nexus One came out they used the Snap Dragon because that was the best thing out at the time and when Froyo came out, it did wonders for that phone with JIT. JIT did not work so well or did not get that 400% speed boost on other processors. When the Nexus S came out it used the Hummingbird chip and as you can see that the Nexus S is still holding its own quite well against other dual core phones.
My point being is that from personally playing around with Epic Touch 4G for a few hours last night, the Exynos is a freaking monster of a chip. I could only imagine what kind of a beast it would truely become if it was used as a reference chip. If Verizon is getting a Droid Prime, don't kid yourself by thinking its going to be the same phone as this beast. It will most likely be a variation of the Droid Bonic just like how the Nexus S was a variation of the Galaxy S. Now i'm Pissed, I really wanted Verizon to have THIS phone ( same processor and screen size ). I have yet to play with the bonic, but I have played with the Droid X2 which also uses the Omap chip but with half the ram, and you can't even put the two phones ( Epic Touch 4G ) in the same zip code when it comes to performance, hell my rooted and voodooed Fascinate felt just as fast.
Oh well..... end rant.
