LG Optimus 2X - First mobile dual-core processor
 

Re: LG Optimus 2X - First mobile dual-core processor
 

wow but 8 GB storage? :( now thats rubbish :D

Re: LG Optimus 2X - First mobile dual-core processor
 

dont forget that 2ghz phone that motorolla said would come out in 2011 ;) http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/m...-end-so-do-we/

Re: LG Optimus 2X - First mobile dual-core processor
 

I doubt it'll capture 1080p if it only outputs 720p, also with that internal storage you'd need a pretty big card to capture any decent length video.

Re: LG Optimus 2X - First mobile dual-core processor
 

i don't get why someone would make a at least 720p recording phone with only 8gb storage

Re: LG Optimus 2X - First mobile dual-core processor
 

maybe its just some initial release?
they might add the 16 and 32gb on a later stage
as with the iphone
or maybe you will have to rely on the SDcard

Re: LG Optimus 2X - First mobile dual-core processor
 

i think 2Ghz is too much
its just a phone and further more it will drain the battery real quickly
im not sure but i think the dual core will actully be less power consumption compared to the N900 and other phones
maybe , maybe not ...

Re: LG Optimus 2X - First mobile dual-core processor
 

LG Optimus 2X - First mobile phone with 2X fast battery consumption :D.

Re: LG Optimus 2X - First mobile dual-core processor
 

WOW, just just, WOW. But the price, EEWWW just just, EEWWW.
ARM rules :D

Re: LG Optimus 2X - First mobile dual-core processor
 

Well, it's quite common knowledge that LG Optimus 2X will use nVidia Tegra 2 processor.

We are going to see many phones using Tegra 2 this year I'm sure.

Re: LG Optimus 2X - First mobile dual-core processor
 

making it even better?

Re: LG Optimus 2X - First mobile dual-core processor
 

C'mon Nokia use this!

Re: LG Optimus 2X - First mobile dual-core processor
 

WTF is this? am i going to trash my Captivate this early 2011? :D

Re: LG Optimus 2X - First mobile dual-core processor
 

Don't think i will be changing my Galaxy S + N900 combo for this. It's all pretty numbers but we are talking about LG here... i rather wait for Samsung and HTC answers in MWC.

Samsung ordered huge amount tegra 2 procs and i'm much more confident about them than the pretty much dead LG at least over here. Samsung will have it's orion equiped phone also but that's somewhere in 2h this year.

Re: LG Optimus 2X - First mobile dual-core processor
 

galaxy s2 will have a nvidia tegra dual core cpu too ;)

Re: LG Optimus 2X - First mobile dual-core processor
 

i still dont get it
is that a good thing?? as in battry consumption wise

Re: LG Optimus 2X - First mobile dual-core processor
 

someone replied like "i cant wait for 2hour standby phones" when a 2ghz phone first rumored.

Re: LG Optimus 2X - First mobile dual-core processor
 

yeah but im talking about the dual core not the 2Ghz processors

Re: LG Optimus 2X - First mobile dual-core processor
 

they better start replacing batteries with nuclear reactors

Re: LG Optimus 2X - First mobile dual-core processor
 

hahaha! thumbs up to that ;)

Re: LG Optimus 2X - First mobile dual-core processor
 

+1
would love this too.
imagine you could let it run for 20 years ;)

Re: LG Optimus 2X - First mobile dual-core processor
 

Umm. New dual-core CPUs may use much less power than N900's 600Mhz single core CPU. Just like curent Intel Core i5 quad core CPUs using far less power than older single core Pentium4 CPUs.

Have you guys even read nVidia's claim of it able to play over 16 hours of HD video on a single battery charge? (I'm assuming they are talking about tablets with bigger batteries most likely but still very impressive)

Re: LG Optimus 2X - First mobile dual-core processor
 

dual core processors are useless. should be one core with more power - thats WAY better than any dual-core.. its just marketing-********, just useless **** :)

Re: LG Optimus 2X - First mobile dual-core processor
 

I don't get it - a dual-core CPU on a device which is running Android? Isn't that a total waste? Can Android really correctly utilize a dual-core CPU at all? :confused:
And even if it does - what good will it make?

Re: LG Optimus 2X - First mobile dual-core processor
 

sry but you are talking pointless crap.dual core cpus are far better in any point then single core cpus.ike jakiman said a 1ghz dual core cpu(2ghz)can take less energy then our single core 600mhz one,if the software is optimized for it.

Re: LG Optimus 2X - First mobile dual-core processor
 

Also I notice the A9 is out-of-order execution, that in itself makes its more efficient I believe.

I do not understand it exactly but its something along the lines of being able choose which command to execute next out of the queue (for efficiency) rather than being force to do them in the exact order they are in the queue.

Also lets not forget that with good power management and two cores it can always disable one core entirely if not needed, or clock them both down to insanely low speeds. I would think that with two cores it should make the process of switching from low to high speed a lot smoother to the end user, as any sudden need for CPU cycles is not going to bog down the CPU as badly.

Of course this is all assuming that they are improving the flash memory in the phones as well. It always seems to be IO that is the big problem as the flash in phones is barely any better than SD cards, a long way away from the speed SSDs or even HDDs can do. You can't help thinking they are deliberately holding back so they can sell us the next big thing every 12 months.

Re: LG Optimus 2X - First mobile dual-core processor
 

Exactly.
The only mobile OS's that would benefit substantially from going A8 to dual-A9 is MeeGo.
I'm sure iOS will be next (perhaps with the iPad2).

The rest of the followers really need some major groundwork:
RIM (dead), WP7 (needs to catchup faster), WebOS (needs to start innovating), Android Honeycomb (needs some major revisions to get hardware accelaration).

Images of a rocket sled in a mud pit,
real potential stuck in the mud of a java-script maze.

Like Chuck Norris wearing handcuffs ?
oops

Re: LG Optimus 2X - First mobile dual-core processor
 

That's right and swapping in MeeGo, is like placing the rocket sled on a pebble-paved road. It's not the smoothest but a lot better than the mud!

By the way, I was about to Thank You.
Then I realized I would be thanking a carcass, since you've been roundhouse kicked to death before I could finish reading.
Good one, Chuck!

Re: LG Optimus 2X - First mobile dual-core processor
 

nokia and motorola are goin to merge(entire deal in 6months time)...(inside info)!!!

Re: LG Optimus 2X - First mobile dual-core processor
 

don't forget that those logic boards are seriously space restricted. SSD controllers are huge and fast memory BGA chips are expensive. But I think that problem will go away when the finally start producing SDXCs that IO problem with the ROM will be gone.
