Tbolt vs. Bionic w/ signed bootloader?

[Skull One]

Also, expect between 10 and 20 percent speed increase (most *idiots* will relate this to quadrant scores) in processing with these first gen dual cores, instead of a doubling of power.

Main issue will be android functionality with dual core procs, also the kernels will be brand new, as companies begin entering into this new territory.

Aside from that current lp ddr2 designs still dont handle enough bandwidth for multiple cores to access the ram as fast as they can process requests.

Now this has always and forever will be an issue with desktops, laptops, and phones. My main point is that with overhead and two cores fighting for share of a memory channel, expect maybe 1.5x read/write to ram versus the theoretical 2x that the ddr2 can provide over ddr.

You sir a man after my own heart. Thank you for pointing that fact out as well.

I also lastly want to point out, to all the haters going on about the bionics 512 vs 768 MB for the tbolt, that this 1.5x ram speed would effectively drop to 1.28-1.33, but that will really only apply to things like huuuggggeee games or other obnoxiously memory hogging apps (tTorrent, anyone?). Either way it is an improvement.

I am sticking with my ballpark figure that the bionic will have a roughly 18% improvement in performance, all things considered.

Now, the question is, are both these devices sdxc compliant? Because if the tbolt isnt my money goes towards bionic as the clear winner.

dont mind my novice-ness. SDXC?

Bionic is going to have horrible battery life and a junk camera IMO.

have you noted the difference in size of batteries between the two phones?

SDXC is the specification that allows for 64Gig thru 2TB SD cards. Along with baseline speeds of 100MBs and a top end of 300MBs. Basically it would make Hard Drives a thing of the past.

1930 Mah Bionic

1400 Mah Thunderbolt IIRC....

Both phones are a no go on SDXC specification.

Max "removable memory" caps of each device is stated to be 32gb.

Well that certianly forks it, i am for sure waiting until at least next year to get a dual core, 4G, ddr2, hardware keyboard and sdxc device.

A front facing camera and any other goodie is just a gimmick...do not want.

Alright I have a question. Since the tb has a good amount of ram wouldn't that make the battery better than phones with lower ram?...because it could multi task easier and use less resources to start processes?

Battery life/loss from ram is a big question,

Newer...well every single upgrade of ram, from sdram all the way to the not yet(?) released ddr4, has featured better power management on-chip as well as needing lower voltages. SDRAM was running at 3.3 volts i believe, and DDR brought this down to about 2.5. DDR2 lowered the voltage to 1.9, and ddr3 can go to 1.5 volts or below. Also, the ram in phones is run at an even lower voltage, being specially made for low power platforms.

Power used is offset by the ram running at higher speeds. You will not see any difference in battery life from the ram, i dont think.

But this is purely speculation. Ask all you want, but we will not truly know until these phones are released into the wild and compared.
