Droid 2 Global processor

The D2G is running a faster processor then the D2. You could overclock it, but I think that would drain the battery faster.

I'm on the same boat is it a new processor or the same just oc'ed?
If notice though the size of the d2g is thinner than the regulard d2. could this contribute to the phone having a differenc processor?

 

I remember reading that it is the exact same processor, just overclocked

 

Almost positive they are two different processors. D2 & DX have same processor. D2G has it's own.

Processors are not the same. Droid 2 has 3620-1000 while Droid 2 Global has 3630-1200
Droid 2 lacks the hardware encoder for mp4 video encoding. Droid 2 Global has it but interestingly, there is no 720p video recodring (like in Milestone 2 which sports 3630-1000)

Source is pretty official - Motorola Developer site. Links follow:
Droid 2
Droid 2 Global
Milestone 2

 

Comparison of Motorola Droids. Just a hunch, but I think they do use the same 3630 processor, just ran at a different clock speed.

nice find, think the milestone 2 has the 3630-1000 is underclocked verision of d2g processor?

 

I wouldn't call it underclocked or overclocked. Just like Intel for example makes 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo processor and a 2.66GHz Core 2 Duo - TI makes the different processors that power the phones in question. They are rated at the frequency they run by the manufacturer. Stock frequency. Not over/underclock

 

global supports hsdpa? does verizon even have that? think it will be faster for us when 4g comes out or will we need to purchase a 4g phone to utilize those ultra fast speeds?

 

It does. Even it is pretty fast. I use D2G on Rogers in Canada (HSPA+ network). Actual download speeds I have hit with the D2G in my area are close to 7Mbps. Much faster than Verizon's CDMA would ever be.
