The N8 has an excellent GPU and the UI is GPU accelerated, the games are GPU accelerated, the Media is GPU accelerated.

What else needs to be said?

Maybe the N9 series will have a faster CPU, maybe not, either way it is the GPU that has the muscle and flexes it well.
Your believing way too much on what manufcaturers babble on about.


You are correct in saying tht GPU 's are the way forward. BUT

You dont seem to udnerstand that. If you stick a ATi HD5970 with a pentium 4 then its going to perform CRAP. The CPU is the brain, not the GPU! The CPU is what feed isntructions to the GPU and also what deals with commands through the motherboard, A fast GPU means squat if the cpu isn't fast enough to utilise the power without causing a MASSIVE bottleneck!

All modern Nokia handsets use OMAP has its APE, AFAIK, OMAP2 is based arround ARM11, so that's probably what they are using...

We won't really know until someone gets one and does a teardown and analysis. I don't know of any OMAP2 chips that support GLES2 like the specs say.

It's either from a non-TI vendor, or is a custom spin.
