so how fast is the PowerVR SGX543MP2 compare to the ARM Mali-400 MP do you think? 50% or more faster? GPU

4.65inch is soo big but if its 50% faster then i might get it instead of the sgs2. i dont care about cpu i can overlock the sgs2 to 1.5ghz so just tell me how fast the gpu is

    "...which should be good for a couple of days use without charging..."
    Hahahaha, since when does: 1.5GHz dual-core CPU + dual-core GPU + 4.65" screen + only 2050mAh battery = couple of days without charging ??? Yeah, maybe if you only look at the phone and don't actually use it.
    This beast will eat batteries for breakfast! :)
    On a side note:
    Why do smartphone manufactuers keep trying to push screen size to the max? This thing doesn't go in every pocket! And I would like to have my phone in my pocket!
    This is neither a phone (too big) nor a tablet (too small)!

                There's no way it will have the new Exynos in it...atleast the Verizon Prime version won't. The reason being is that Ice cream Sandwich was the chosen Chip for ICS and ICS was built for that chip like Honeycomb was optimized for the Tegra 2. So the Omap 4460 is the only chip that ICS is optimized for at the moment...meaning that it is coded for that chip and it will be blazing fast and smooth...hopefully like the Iphone is so smooth due to it being optimized for it's hardware. I don't see the ICS Verizon Nexus being anything but an OMAP 4460. Just my opinion

                      This Nexus Prime will be the best phone in the world at least 6 months! Samsung is working VERY hard!

                        [deleted post]Samsung Unveils 1.5GHz Exynos Dual-Core Processor With Faster GPU
                        September 30, 2011
                        by Lim Pei Hao
                        30 September 2011 – Samsung has recently has introduced the Exynos 4212 to its Exynos product family. The Exynos 4212 chip is equipped with an energy efficient dual-core ARM Cortex A9 processor.


                        Samsung has pushed the Exynos 4212's top clock speed to 1.5GHz, compared to its predecessor which has a top clock speed at 1.2GHz. Samsung also promises a new graphic processing unit (GPU) with 50 percent improvement in 3D graphic performance. The Exynos 4212 is 30 percent more energy saving than its predecessor with the new design on Samsung’s 32nm High-K Metal Gate (HKMG) low-power process.

                        Rumor has it saying that the Samsung Exynos 4212 processor will be powering the upcoming Samsung Nexus Prime.

                        Nevertheless, Samsung did not mention the expected timeline that the Samsung Exynos 4212 processor will be going into manufacturing stage, but chosen smartphone and tablet manufacturers is able to test it in the fourth quarter of 2011.

                              The GPU on Exynos 4212, is NOT yet named, so it could be anything, we don't know yet.

                                  [deleted post]not exactly...

                                  there is this new exynos 4212 chipset... and its GPU is not named yet...

                                  but it was rumoured to be either a higher clocked Mali 400MP-GPU or something new from Imagination...

                                  something interesting about the exynos 4212:

                                  its 30% more power efficient because of its 32nm production (usual other phones have 45nm produced SoCs)

                                      If this batch of rumors turns out to be true, I seriously might consider selling my laptop for it :) I only use it for gaming anyway :D But the purported graphics chip is what really got my attention; if it's true, then the iPhone 4S is outdated before it even shipped :))
