Excuse the lack of technical points here but I believe the PalmPre is running on OMAP3? The first phone to do so I think? Im sure it's only a matter of time before a certain Finnish manufacturer makes use of this also and at the same time support for OpenGL2.0.
Will the 54x chip be able to compete with that?
Well that goes beyond my expertise but I'm going to guess that the PVR 54x
is going to have more grunt than what is currently in the OMAP3 but i'm assuming it'll also come with a higher power usage penalty.
I think you're right about that Finnish company. They love power.
It kind of sounds like the SGX 543 would be nicely paired with a MP Cortex-A9
for a quick MID/Netbook/UMPC or whatever you want to call it.
I think right now Nokia only make use of openGL in the ngage console but with OMAP3 and support for 2.0 they will surley make more use of it in the UI itself as the PalmPre has. Not to mention the ability for HD playbak also. I'm sure Apple have something good in store for us. I'm just too impatient that's all.
