since this was a Verizon phone, will they kick down someones door?
That thing looks like the size of the EVO..pretty nice, tho.
Comparison video between the OMAP 3430 and 3630 chipsets :
YouTube - Texas Instruments 65nm OMAP3430 vs 45nm OMAP3630!
80% improvement in framerates!

I saw that video and also linked the 3D gears .apk that was used. I also contacted the gentleman responsible for bringing GLX gears to the Android which was used in that video. Turns out that after speaking with him that the devices used in those tests were no locked to V-Sync. Which in english means they ran balls out. They were also running at stock speeds. IF the OMAP 3430 in the video were OC'd to run at the same speed as the OMAP 3630 the framerates would have been very comparable. The biggest bonus the OMAP 3630 will offer is power savings over the current 3430 in the Droid due to its' smaller manufacturing process and newer power savings schemes. Otherwise the base performance will be nearly identical to an equally clocked 3430.
Another note is that they also use the same GPU. So there will be little to any difference in performance there as well. The big difference will be the HD recording and HDMI out which is supported by the OMAP 3630 SoC.

But CPU speeds have nothing to do with fps results in a purely GPU hardware accelerated benchmark. I think the GPU in the 3630 is clocked higher too, which would explain the higher benchmarks, but I cannot find a reliable source anywhere.
