The GPS chip is the BCM4571.

I know the Epic uses a-GPS data because of advanced configuration settings on the phone (dialer codes that let you configure the operation of the PGS, including a-GPS.) I also know because this has been identified as one of the problems with the Epic. It is not properly updating (invalidating the cached a-GPS data). I also know because it would simply be ridiculous for anyone to manufacture a modern cell phone without using a-GPS.
