I think it may be on board. but with the 1 ghz snapdragon it could actually help the graphic out alot being able to share a little speed. the droid has a separate gpu, but that means they cant share eachothers resources

Onboard graphics take away from the cpu. A separate gpu takes load off the cpu. Your logic is backwards.

If it's on-board then the video's and demo's you've been seeing have it being used.

The Droid on the other hand where you see it running 2.1 is not using the GPU the way it should be.

That's why a proper 2.1 release should be very much faster.

Yes,

A separate GPU is nearly always better than an onboard one. Especially one as fast as the Droids.

lol that's what I said......sharing speed is the same as you say taking away. not being able to share is how you said taking the load off......since they don't share lol.

[SSHGuru]

The CPU and the GPU both work together - like having two people working rather than just one person who might be genetically enhanced to be faster.

Why do you think that the best and fastest computers are ones that have major GPU's in them?

The cheapo models have the graphics being handled by the CPU.

So then the nexus 2.1 os everyone is using is not optimized for the droid hardware.....when it is I hope we will get to run the live wallpapers full time!

So your saying graphics wise that the Droid is superior over the nexus one?

Who knows, we're all just speculating here, no one knows for sure. It would make sense though that the official release (guesstimate of 3 weeks away) will be better than leaked ROMs.

No, the Nexus I believe is rumored to have and OLED screen which is superior to the screen the Droid has. It probably looks better and takes less energy to run.

However as far as pure power goes there is an argument that the GPU in the Droid properly used can make up for the difference in speed between the two devices.

I don't understand your logic that they don't work together. Of course they do. They just don't live on the same chip which makes it actually a better arrangement.

Think of the google server farm. They run thousands (or hundreds of thousands) of computers running together to get us our results faster.

I have a sinking feeling that it may be more than three weeks. They are not going to want to take away the thunder of the Nexus One that fast. Also does anyone know if 2.1 is even slated for the Droid at all in the near future?
