Does the Droid X have the same gpu as the Droid? If not, does anyone know specifically which gpu the X will have?

That is what I hear. CNET just broke out a droid cpu article (easy to find) gonna be a fast device for sure....I just read on a few different sites that both the Droid X and the Droid 2 will be using the PowerVR SGX530 GPU. I am almost certain that the current Droid uses the same one. Although it would have been nice if Motorola had upgraded this on their new devices, the PowerVR SGX530 has always been considered to be a very capable GPU (and even more so when paired with OMAP's new 3630 CPU @ 1ghz I would assume). The Droid is able to handle most games and video a lot better than many of the phones using the snapdragon CPU, so I guess it's nothing to worry about.

Definitely a good read if you're buying the X or a fan of TI's cpus.
enuff said......Carlson also explained that other factors come into play beyond reaching the 1GHz milestone. "It's not just about the gigahertz. It's about your memory subsystem. Our memory bandwidth and how we feed these (processing) engines make an incredible difference," he said.
No, it has a dedicated GPU. Not sure of the name but it's MUCH better than anything else out there Motorola Droid X benchmark tests | Android Central

And what's coming down the pike from TI? A dual-core OMAP 4430 chip will begin shipping in the fourth quarter, Carlson said. This should make its way into phones in the first half of 2011.
All smartphones are currently powered by single-core central processing units, or CPUs, which limits the number of tasks users can do simultaneously. When smartphones finally move to dual-core designs next year, a lot will change, according to Carlson.
"What you have to do is look at the workload. These aren't just phones anymore. You have a lot of different services and social networking going on behind the scenes. If you have one processor, it thrashes [slows down] a lot because you have to keep refilling the cache [memory]. With two processors [each with their own cache], you alleviate that. You actually see a boost in performance, a boost in page load times. We're seeing page load times of two seconds," Carlson said.
