10.1 processor vs 8.9 (1.0/1.5)

[kralco626]

From what I have read the 8.9 tab that ATT is selling has a 1.5 dual core and the 10.1 that verizon is selling has a 1.0 dual core...

Is this true? Does the 8.9 really have a better processor???

I want the bigger screen, but I also want the better processor...

Does anyone know if they are going to release the 10.1 with the 1.5?

Done some googling myself and from what I see the 8.9 has the same processor

That's what it seems, however, I can not find anywhere that says the clock speed of the 10.1 tab that Verizon has is 1.5...

AT&T clearly claims their 8.9 tab has a 1.5 GHz... I'm looking for something that says Verizon's 10.1 also has a 1.5 GHz...

It does seem the AT&T one is a 1.5, probably to cope with the bloatware added by AT&T. Why not just get a 10.1 on wifi only and use your cell as a mobile hotspot when out of wifi range?

The wifi version of the 8.9 ships with the same Tegra 2 fund in the the 10.1 (oddly enough the 8.9 has higher benchmarks)

The AT&T one has a different processor i assume to be compatible to with their wireless networks

OK so that confirms what I thought, the 8.9 from at&t does have a faster processor than the either wifi version or the 10.1 from verizon.

I just had an idea... maybe I'll get one 8.9 from att(so I get the galexy s 2 skyrocket i want free) and one 10.1 wifi... I need to get two devices, one for me, for my gf...
