For what it's worth, as a Motorola Droid owner (running 2.2.1 right now),a device that was released at 450MHz and newer stock kernels ramped up to 600MHz, with kernels to safely ramp it up as fast as 800MHz with a CPU governor (i.e. not much faster than the stock N900)...

There's already a community-compiled test copy of the Gingerbread ROM floating around for the Motorola Droid. It's unclear whether it's going to get pushed officially--probably not, but from what I've read, it seems that the CPU speed is definitely not an issue. More impressive to me is that reports are that 2.3 runs even FASTER than 2.2 on the Droid.

If this is accurate and Nitdroid gets 2.3, I can only imagine that the performance (overall) would only INCREASE at 600MHz, not suffer.

No, that's 3.0. Gingerbread was supposed to be 3.0 but Google decided to postpone it to the Honeycomb release. 3.0 will have 1 GHz CPU requirement, because it will have a graphically intensive UI.(2.3 is not that different that 2.2)

It's like comparing Pentium (the original) with a Core2.
Please not exagerate.

Cortex A8 is faster than Arm11 but not always many times faster.

ARM declares it as near to 40-60% faster than Arm11 at same clock (so a Cortex A8 at 600MHz is like an Arm11 at 1.0GHz).

In some areas Cortex A8 can be even more faster than Arm11 if software uses widely some specific functions (NEON isa, double speed cache, double width bus, ...etc) that Cortex A8 has and Arm11 hasn't (or Arm11 has less efficient one)

This thread went from awesome to suck to awesome in the last 30 posts. I'm glad it turned around.

I was starting to become discouraged because there have been no updates that I could see since like September or maybe before. It's good to see that it's still going.

Hi guys,

What about battery?? What's suppose to be "lighter"? 2.2, 2.3, or current Maemo 5 with default settings (no optimizer installed, nor OC)?

Thanks.
