Nexus7 Hardware Qustion - Nexus 7 General

Is the Tegra3 processor a 2core, 3core or 4core and what is the GHZ speed of this Tegra3? I love this new Nexus7 it is totally awesome.

Quad hut actually has 5...I believe it is 1.2ghz stock (could be wrong).

Just watched a neat nVidia video on the Tegra 3. It has 4-cores and a "companion core". The companion core does all the mundane background stuff and sucks the least juice. The other cores only kick in when needed, like for loading an app quickly, playing a game, etc.
The video was linked in another thread on XDA...just can't remember where.

It's a 5 core chip with a 12 core GPU, clocked at 1.3 ghz.

1.5Ghz still recognized as quad core

It's 1.3 ghz with 4 cores + power saving core.

I second the above^^

Rumor in Korea

I heared that O3D will use OMAP dual core as its soc
Got any news about this rumor?
Sent from my LG-SU660 using XDA App
True story. It uses the OMAP 4430, which is two ARM A9 cores (like Tegra 2) but with a clocked up PowerVR SGX540. According to Anandtech (Can't post links) it seems to generally outperform Tegra 2, although with the old SGX540 it probably doesn't have any of the advanced features that the ULP GeForce supposedly provides...
Personally I'd rather have the performance.
Which is ??

1.5Ghtz velocity, 1.2Ghtz Vivid?

They are both "HTC Holiday" but Am I crazy or are the Velocity and Vivid actually fairly different in technical specs...
The HTC Velocity is advertised as being 1.5, but I see the vivid is 1.2
Are there any other differences like RAM or a change in GPU to go along with the CPU change?
HTC Velocity apparently has - Dual Core 1.5 GHz Scorpion processor, Adreno 220 GPU, Qualcomm MSM8260 Snapdragon chipset
HTC Vivid apparently has - Qualcomm® APQ 8060, 1.2 GHz dual core processor, Qualcomm MDM9200
Maybe they are the same thing and one is overclocked?
they are the same thing, but the vivid is UNDERclocked
I think the scorpion is a better processor.

They are both scorpion. As PG mentioned they are the same hardware wise, just under clocked for a more conservative power consumption.
excellent, thanks for the info gents!

[Q] CPU Bottlenecking my GPU

OK so I'm building my first rig and I've heard of the cpu almost 'restricting' my gpu. Also post any ideas or thoughts on my build as I would love to know. (I'm a beginner when it comes to hardware)
Asus GTS 450 1GB Silent Direct CU $154.70
AMD Athlon II X2 260 @ 3.2
Asrock 880GMH AM3
Western Digital 500Gb SATA
Adata 4GB XPG Gaming DDR3 4GB @ 1600MHZ
Huntkey GreenPower 550w
It is a budget build and I couldn't find the appropriate section for PC's.

Lol, I think that's because xda it's a forum for phones. But I dabble in computers.
At first glance I would say you were combining old tech (amd athalon 2) with newer tech (mobo and ram) so I would definitely say your rig is being limited by your CPU. I'm not 100% familiar with amd since I'm more of an Intel guy, but I'll do some research for you.

Thanks yeah the athlon is getting quite old yet overclocking to 3.7ghz would help but I don't think it would help enough. I might have to look more at the Phenom lineup

I did a conversion for you us people and I'm looking a a build for around $470 USD

Some other thoughts:
You motherboard has 4 memory slots for DDR3 ram that operate only in dual channel mode. DDR3 ram is meant to be operated in triple channel mode. Meaning shots gave to be in multiples of 3. So your MOBO is restricting your ram.

Right OK I will have a look at that
I don't really think I need triple-channel either though.

Arm

What is the diferrence between armv7 rev1 and Armv7 rev2?
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA Premium HD app
Both are the same architecture, rev2 is an upgraded version of the rev1 chip. Sort of like the tegra 3 and the tegra 3+
They both belong to the same generation of chipsets, but may differ in chip size, die cast size, RAM management, voltage, K-value of materials used and so on

I think rev 2 can be overclocked more than rev 1?right?

Not necessarily, two identical CPUs may differ enough so that one can be overclocked about 1Ghz while the other might be unstable at 100MHz overclock.

I dont know much about mobile processors but I assume it follows the same concept as Desktop processors. Lets assume the i5 2500k is Arm v7 rev1 while the i5 3570k is the Arm v7 rev2. Just cuz the i5 3570k is newer does not necessarily mean it will clock better or hold temperatures as well. Yes i do know the latter i5 is built with a smaller die size but thats not my point
To answer your question, it really comes down to luck on how well you can clock your processor.

Twas fun!

'twas fun but heading to a phone I know will have better dev support in 6 days will have my Moto X! anyone else switching or thinking of switching? I only got the first because i won it in a contest lol!

I am sure the X will be nice, but not sure what benefit you'll see over the 1st (except maybe "Hello Google Now"). Enjoy! --Larry
the X8 computing system is a beast! dual core cpu dual core gpu two cores for low functioning processes and one for sensors and one for speech or something like that runs faster then some quad cores and saves battery
