Omap3 is an antique.
While an A8 cpu fabbed at 45nm and clocked at 1GHz may provide acceptable performance when running Harmattan it is grossly out of kilter with consumer expectations of a high-end smartphone with a presumed n900 retail price, i.e. circa £450.
However, while the CPU is questionable the GPU is downright archaic! The SGX530 is significantly less powerful than the iPhone 3GS from 2009, which is less powerful than the main android platform of 2010, which is significantly less powerful than the Omap4/Tegra2/SnapdragonX2 platforms of 2011.............. and a world away from the performance of the 28nm platforms against which it will spend its life competing with from early 2012 onwards (presuming it doesn't actually get into shops before Sept).
Using the SGX530 gpu in high-resolution 2011 era smartphone with a (presumed) top-end price tag is utterly bonkers!
That is what i am 'babbling' about.
