Re: Wow, more proof that Verizon IS Gimping their Diamond...
ive seen it mentioned too that it will be the same cpu. I've also seen an article that said that sprint and verizon both use the old msm7500 cpu. Heres how i stupidly understand it. The 7501a is basically just a die shrink of the 7500 cpu. Its very very similar in other aspects so maybe people confuse the two. And when you see that Sprint is running this updated cpu at a faster rate and Verizon is running it at the original cpu's rate it makes it appear that Verizon stuck with the old cpu. So the 7501A Cpu can run cooler and with less power because of its smaller size, this lets HTC up the mhz of the chip. i think they just upped the multipler of the fsb by one.
Now Verizon looked at the new cpu and power specs and said, "hey we want the extra battery life we think the unit is powerful enough so keep it at the mhz of the first cpu and maybe up the ram somewhere this will (hopefully) give us an extra 1-? hours of battery while giving us just a small reduction in overall speed"
I hope we can scale the cpu up to 528mhz if we want but if we can why doesnt Verizon? Is CPU scaling not possible?
Also ive seen the embedded cpu that controls the phone is getting double the speed (at least on the sprint model) it looks to be the exact same model cpu but its listed at 278mhz.
