Gaxlay Nexus with a 1.5GHz CPU???

Anyone see the post over at Phandroid? [h=2]Sprint Galaxy Nexus With LTE and 1.5GHz CPU Pops Up in CNET Ad; Is This Their CES Announcement?[/h]

Yep. Gotta love it lol

It's probably the same CPU we have, they're just leaving the clock speed untouched. We have a 1.5GHz chip downclocked to 1.2GHz.

+1, this is likely the correct answer. I can't imagine them going as far as swapping out a different CPU just for a different carrier.

I wonder if it is even clocked at 1.5. Technically any Gnex could be advertised with a 1.5ghz because it is... it's just under clocked! They could just be doing some shady advertising!

 

[sbenson]

The reason it wasn't clocked at 1.5 was because it was terribly buggy and unstable. If this version of the Nexus is actually clocked at 1.5, this is potentially good news for us, since the kernel source can also be used for our phones.

Unless its a 4470 clocked at 1.5ghz...I will be soooooo pissed.

I wouldn't be, Sprint is a pos lol.

I'm with you guys, I'm hoping they found a way to get it up to 1.5 so we can move up as well!

Yea, I WILL go to a Sprint store and rip that cpu out for my own use!

OK, wasn't sure and it wasn't that important to go research it...

Oh, wouldn't it be cool if that kernel came in a stock OTA... . :dreaming:

Hey, I'm with ya!

 

[Chizzele]

I doubt it's a different cpu, might be planning to have it out after some bug fixes therefore able to handle the higher clock speeds which as its been said here is good news for us. And as also been said here, ill take a lower clock speed on Verizon rather than a faster clock on sprint crappy network ...

I doubt we will ever get an OTA to clock the kernel to 1.5, but the kernel source could definitely be used by our talented devs.

My vote goes for typo. I'll bet the guy writing the ad just looked up the OMAP 4 CPU specs and saw "1.5Ghz" so that's what he wrote down. While it may be rated at 1.5, it doesn't run at that.

 

[rubiksc00p]

So VZ is the first but Sprint gets 1.5... I could have been patient!
