@all,
I'm just learning this, which has seemed to escape the public knowledge..

DISCLAIMER:I've gotten this info from Wikipedia, so you know, it could be dead wrong:

The Galaxy Tab's SoC is the Samsung S5PC110, which is 1GHz and has the SGX540. However, what you may not know is that the SGX540 on this SoC is clocked to 100MHz and can push 20M polygons with a pixel fill rate (theoretical) of 0.5G .

The Galaxy S's SoC is the Samsung S5PC111 which is 1GHz and also has the SGX540. However, this SoC's SGX is clocked to 200MHz and can push 35M polygons with a pixel fill rate of 1G. A *very* significant performance leap over the Tab.

The bottom line? The Galaxy S is a stronger performer graphically than the Galaxy Tab! I also means that while the Galaxy S is ahead of the famous iOS products, the Tab may not be, as the SGX535 is clocked at 200MHz and handles 28M polygons with a fill rate of 0.5G. This depends upon how high the core is clocked in the A4.

Somewhat disappointing. I would have hoped that the Tab, with a far larger battery, would have opted for the higher clocked GPU, especially since it has a higher res screen.
