New Chipset for Bionic

Here is the link: NVIDIA Confirms Droid Bionic to Use Tegra 2 Mobile Processor

"For now, with NVIDIA?s official confirmation that the Droid Bionic will be released with Tegra 2 on-board, the experience of the handset should theoretically be very similar and comparable to the AT&T Motorola Atrix 4G, except that the Droid Bionic should perform a whole lot better utilizing Verizon?s more capable 4G LTE network rather than AT&T?s 4G HSPA+ network currently."

It seems as though this device should be fairly spectacular. I just hope the battery survives the day.

Any thoughts from you guys about the change in chip sets?

What change? It's always had the Tegra 2. The author of the article was just wrong from the beginning.

My original post sounded pretty harsh when I read it back. I apologize for that. It was nothing aimed at you at all. I just don't think the author of the article knew what he was talking about initially.

There was another thread that referenced an article by the same author. In that article, he mentioned that the Bionic had a dual-core TI CPU. Comments to the article challenged him on it, and the author basically said that's what he was told at CES. I had a hard time believing the author on that, but even if it was true, it seemed everyone else knew or was pretty aware that the Bionic had a NVIDIA chipset and not a TI chipset. But, the author took it and ran with it. It just seemed that a little more research by the author could have saved him from all of this.

no problem, and thank you for the re-review. My intentions were indeed noble as a newbie here.

I am real excited about getting a droid device and was very upset when i had to defer buying the TBolt because of its battery issues, something that was not found in todays review of it in the Wall Street Journal. I still am not going to get it until i see the bionic. I hope it will not have that issue.

best wishes and i apologize in advance for any other future posts of mine that are not up to standard

There never was a change in chipsets. the phone was announced from day one to have the tegra 2

 

[DanTheAndroid]

When it was announced, they said it would feature the tegra 2 dual core chip! Nothing has changed from that day.

 

[DJBeanPole]

What he said.

Don't think the TI dual core was even ready at CES.
