Atrix Core Speeds - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was curious to know the actual speeds of each core on the Atrix. Someone at AT&T told me they were clocked at 500mhz each, for a total of 1ghz. That didn't sound right to me, so I checked for myself and found this. Pretty impressive.

Tegra 2 manages it clock speed depending on the load and the range is between 200mhz all the way up to 1ghz per core. A single core 1ghz processor might ramp up to 800 mhz to do a particular task but tegra 2 dual 1ghz core might only ramp up to 450mhz for the same particular task.

unless an application is optimized to take advantage of both cores it wont really work like that. what ends up happening is one app will run in a thread on one core, another app will be executing on another core, and overall the system will run faster because its not a single core switching back and forth between tasks all the time

Benchmarking Folio100

to accurately evaluating our Folio with a ElocityA7 running 800x480, i made some video driver changes, so i had a Folio running only 800x480.
Normal resolution
FolioMod 1.3c 1024x600
GLBenchmark 2.0 Egypt : 2089 Frames (18.5 Fps)
Hacked
FolioMod 1.3c 800x480
( NvGrFbDevOpen: Opened fb0 on disp 0 size 800x480 format 1 rate 77.000000 )
GLBenchmark 2.0 Egypt : 2822 Frames (25.0 Fps)
GLBenchmark 2.0 PRO : 2661 Frames (53.2 Fps)
ElocityA7 800x480
GLBenchmark 2.0 Egypt : 3057 Frames (27.1 Fps)
GLBenchmark 2.0 PRO : 2677 Frames (53.5 Fps)
The test shows us that our hardware does perform quite well, if the resolution is lowered and the same resolution gives similar results.
So prediction will be that any new 10" 1024x600 device will be faster with 3D games on tegra2, than a tegra2 device running 1280x720 which is said that motorola xoom will have.
Motorola might receive bad reviews due to the large resolution, and tegra2 performing less good compared to early tegra2 platforms.
And if Nvidia improves drivers, we can only benefit from this on folio100..
Remember this, when a tool such a GLBenchmark.com is used on our folio.
Another benchmarking for our Folio with Flash..
check this site
in general folio does quite well and in the "GUIMark Mobile" test, my framerates are twice of what Nexus or HTC HD2 gives..
ie. HTML5 Vector gives me avg. 39 frames .. Nexus got 15.86
others with the same experience?

So ..are cpu is capable of 1080p?

BGR:
http://www.bgr.com/2011/08/03/bgr-and-qualcomm-celebrate-snapdragon™-rebranding-with-huge-giveaway/
ok it says are phone is capable of running 1080p??
Snapdragon System 3 (45nm, up to 1.5GHz dual-core CPU, Adreno 220 GPU, HSPA+, 1440 x 900 display, 1080p recording, Dolby 5.1, stereoscopic 3D)
And here also:
http://androidandme.com/2011/08/new...r-to-keep-track-of/attachment/old-snapdragon/
Now.. are we capable or not?
and if we can... why they took it out??
p.s
I love the fact are Evo 3d is top dog snapdragon king for now."System 3"
The CPU is capable, that's not the issue. The storage system speed would be as would the camera sensors ability to provide that many pixels at a frame rate that wasn't embarrassing in all but the perfect lighting. The sensor can already provide more than 2 times the necessary pixels.
1080p would be pretty rad if the phone is capable

I am pretty sure the GPU spec is wrong. According to AnandTech and TI itself, the OMAP4430 runs SGX540.

http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/wt...ntId=53243&navigationId=12843&templateId=6123
I think they have a typo about the GPU model. The OMAP 4430 includes an integrated SGX540 not a 530 (and the difference between those two is supposed to be substantial). The SGX530 is what came with the OMAP 3621 used in the Nook Color

Indeed it does look like it's a typo on their website.
Thanks for correcting me guys!
I like to see a teardown to verify the battery specs. The NC has a 3.7V, 4000mAh battery. The Kindle Fire (from the iFixit teardown) has 3.7V, 4400mAh. The NT is claimed to have "much better" battery life, so one would expect it to have better numbers than both of these.

I'm waiting for engadget review. They got a standardized test that will show the difference.
Hrm, so we don't know whether the NT still has Bluetooth, do we?

Going to have to wait for a tear-down and see if it has the same wireless chip as the NC. In which case, we may get BT but it will be ridiculously short-ranged.

I'm pretty sure because it doesn't have the antenna XD

Like I said, we will have to wait for a tear-down. Even if it doesn't have an antenna or isnt connected to the antenna like the NC, it will still work, albeit with only a foot or so range. Which is plenty to keyboards/mice, GPS dongles, or whatever.
Ceramic BT antenna in Nook Tablet?
Does the Nook Tablet have a ceramic BT antenna installed on the PCB? The part only costs $1.80 USD (Digikey.com). It would be a gross oversight if FoxConn or whoever manufactures the NT for B&N did not include it.
Did anybody else think the microphone on the NT was a crack? I actually returned my first NT because I thought the microphone at the top was a nonuniform crack on the tablet. It's kind of stupid for B&N to make the microphone that way. Couldn't they have made the microphone circular on top of the tablet instead of a v shaped crack on top of the front console?
I may do a tear down of mine this weekend. The NC at Best Buy was falling apart, and I have a good idea of how these come apart.

[Q] what is the best configuration you expect in your new android device 2013..?

Everyone choose is different according to their thinking, likeness, dislikeness, priority purpose of using high end phones like gaming, International surfing, watching movies or office use. Accordingly what you need in you next smartphone.....?
My expectations are
1. Nvidia Tegra 4 T43 (quad core cortex A15 2gz & Nvidia GPU 72 cores GPU)
2. 2GB dual channel ddr3 ram
3. 720p , 4.3 inches edge to edge display like Motorola
4. Corning Gorilla Glass 2 PureMotion HD+ ClearBlack display like Lumia 920
5. 64 GB internal storage + expandable mmc
6. 16 MP Carl Zeiss optics, optical image stabilization, autofocus, dual-LED flash, video recording [email protected], video stabilization
7. 3000 mAh battery (removable)
8. 4G LTE, support 50 Mbps UL, 100 Mbps DL
9. NFC with useful application , Bluetooth 4,
10. Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, dual band, DLNA, Wi-Fi
hot spots, WiFi direct
11. Wireless charging
12. Usb v3.0 on the go
13. Thickness must me less than 10mm.
14. Key lime pie (Android 5)
15. HTC sense 5
What ever price may be but I want high end phone below 4.3" display single hand use and 720p is sufficient.
What you thinks about your expectations...?
