And, is it basically the same PowerVR chip as in the neo900 or can we expect a certain performance improvement here as well? I saw other comments that normal UI responsiveness does not depend much on 3d but it would be interesting to know. Maybe a comment on the Specs site would also help.

Thank you!
There are at least the original Fremantle driver which we plan to reuse in FPTF, one of the major arguments why we need binary compatibility. And I think there are one or two other closed blobs out there that are also usable/exploitable.

The GFX core of DM3730 is significantly more powerful than the one in N900, I elaborated on that somewhere in beginning of this thread, I seem to recall 20Mio polygons/s instead of 10.
