Official FCC Droid Bioinc Specs

The 384mhz quote doesn't mean any more than her saying it was a 4460, because if we're going to assume she is right on 384mhz then we might as well assume she is right on the 4460, and so we don't need her quote on 384mhz to justify thinking that the FCC processor is a 4460.

This ^^ and his other info has been spot on so far so It's pretty safe to say hes correct and its the 4440/4460. Reason they are saying 4440 is most likely because at the time the bionic was being developed it was called the 4440 so I'm sure some of the older spec sheets say that.

do you think they changed the 4440 to the 4460 name to create a 2nd gen 4440 at around 1.2-1.3 since the 4460 is clocked at 1.5?

It mean's a lot more, actually. (especially since she never said 4460). It references a specific GPU at a specific clock speed that is ONLY used on the 4460.

That's max clock speed. There never was a 4440. TI used that as an initial name, but it was dropped in favor of 4460.

That doesn't make any sense though. We're talking about a Verizon Rep., not a motorola engineer or rep. The reps at that level would have no idea whatsoever about the 4440, since by the time it actually reached the handset maker's hands, it was already renamed the 4460.

yes, but I believe moto was just using the old name still in what they sent out. to have them say 4440 and it be 4430 is very unlikely.

Let's hope the rep was right about the 384mhz speed for the GPU because that means it will be an underclocked 4460. Since that SOC normally runs at 1.5 ghz I'm sure we'll be able to overclock it to 2ghz or more

 

[DolfanCole]

I sure hope its the 4460. And it is unlocked. That would be a very powerful device and a great platform for developers to tweak and squeeze out every drop of performance. If its still unlocked, it wont matter much if its the 4400 or the 4460.

 

[mjforte]

Yeah I'll be fine whether its the 4430 or 4460. Hopefully Moto will keep to their word and this device will ship unlocked or provide a solution to unlock soon. I could see this phone having a huge dev community and it could be another OG Droid. Moto better not let us down again.

 

[trailblazen]

yeah my thing is that rep was really specific with what she said so its really hard to discount that. Thats why I put a little more stock into it than usual because of that fact hence using that as a source. Its not 100% solid but its solid enough to take notice and get a good idea outside of a official release from VZ themselves.

Winston25 posted this over on HoFo today:

"So many weird assumptions. Does anyone posting that Motorola should have used the 4460 know if it is even available to be in a phone yet?"

Hmmm...seems to me he's implying that it doesn't have the 4460. Maybe I'm reading too much into it though.

 

[shipwrestler125]

All they have to assume it is the 4460 is by what the gpu is clocked at in the fcc docs. Guess we will find out once more info leaks what is under the hood

The 4460 sampled in quarter 1 and was available for use in handsets shortly after that. (Right around the time the bionic went back in for retooling)

What Winston posted brings up an interesting prospect: could the bionic be using a custom setup with the 4430 and the 4460s GPU?

That is exactly what I was thinking was a possibility. After Winston's post I think we are looking at 4430 for Bionic. That doesn't mean it has to be exactly what is stated on TI's website. A company like Motorola will purchase a certain "bin" and then find the sweet spot for performance vs. power consumption and heat. I feel confident that even if it is the 4430 @ 1GHz there will be plenty of headroom for custom clocked kernels(assuming an unlockable bootloader)

I think this is what happened with the Droid X1 and the OMAP 3630 vs. the 3640.

So no NFC? Very disappointing...

You have locations that use NFC right now? Because I do not have any within' 200 miles if not more and in 2 years may have a couple within' 50-60 miles.

 

[sfbates]

I haven't really seen any NFC around me either, so im not too concerned on that aspect. But i wouldnt mind it either. The more the better right?
