Actually, we have not."Cortex A8" means an ARM CPU core that ARM licenses to SoC makers. "Qualcomm 800MHz" denotes a Qualcomm SoC, that may (Snapdragon) or may not be based on the Cortex A8 core. So, your statement makes no sense.
Exacly what it does!! Cause that what i Meant many people here complains and says N900 with 600 Mhz less good cause there are other phones running in 800Mhz. So my point is Mhz says NOTHING cause it depends on other factors too like you say above.
= different manufactors, different ways the CPU works.
Same goes for dualcore vs singelcore. If the OS isn't optimized for dualcore maybe singlecore infact is faster.
Also what I meant was even if the CPU SUPPORTS xxx feature it doesnt always means the core OS is ready to support it but still people beleive it cause the "specs" says soo.
there are more than one thing that dual core ARM doing better than single core.
* 1080p encoding and decoding without consuming all the cpu cycles
Isnt this done by the GPU :-S

True but you also need much of RAM. And IMHO this works good on N900 already == OS is good optimized in maemo already.

Some here is also related to GPU.

That maybe true

Comparing Qualcomm to Cortex is like AMD to Intel. We've seen the war before and both archetectures are similar just different approach.
I did do that compare cause there IS people beleive in this. not me ofcourse!

Qaulity on N8 has nothing todo with those 12mpix. THis is probadly more related to the GPU and how much the videoalgitms is optimized on N8.
Video could be ALOT better on N900 too. (not as good as N8 but alot better than today) Thing is they havent enought of engineers fix this issues and that is ofcourse a shame :-/
Let's give Nokia some credit. The N900, I have never had and used a phone for this long, 14 months now, and still there is nothing out there that is better. The N8 is the best phone ever produced, but I can't live without a HW keyboard anymore. The E7 is late and overpriced, so be it, it is not intended as a mass market device, and those executives need something that looks executivy and is not an iPhone.
The N9 will come eventually. MeeGo/Harmattan is (hopefully) scrapped, and if it is true, this is only a good thing. We don't need all these half way there devices. A killer of a Symbian phone is coming, a phone that also can run MeeGo and probably Android. How cool is that?
good theory MeeGo is scrapped b/c Symbian is getting Qt 4.7, Qt components and QML
dont know how they ever planned out the cross platform dream if this as only just happened and not 2 years back when i was at a press event Qt for Symbian i must of dreamt all those months back
I keep coming back to these threads in case something significant as been found and posted which i would hate to miss, and all i end up doing is giving myself a headache

Best thing to do is grab some popcorn and a nice beer.
If you meant my comment I was actually joking. (I hope..................................... :-/
nobody ever knows how to take your posts b/c one day you sound like a troll, next day you write reasonable thought out ones.
so knowing when your serious is hard
Qt for Symbian i must of dreamt all those months back
