How is the TP2 faster that the TP?

[SweetBearCub]

I read an online review of the T-Mo TP2 and in it, they compared it to several other devices, one of them being a Touch Pro (For Sprint/VZW/Alltel, I presume) - It was faster in every benchmark, sometimes by a fair amount.

From my understanding, the T-Mo TP2 has a MSM7200 processor. The Sprint TP has an MSM7201A, and the TP2 will have a MSM7600, all running @ 528 Mhz. From my research, the 7600 is an older design than the 7201A, chosen for its ability to run a GSM radio alongside a CDMA radio, something the 7201A apparently cannot do. An unsubstantiated rumor I read said that the drivers (graphics, etc.) were more fully developed for the 7600, but given Qualcomm & HTC's track record in this area, I highly doubt it.

I'm also wondering how the TP2 can be faster if it uses an older processor (despite the fact that its model # is numerically higher) and it pushes around a bunch of extra pixels, 800x480 vs. the 640x480 of the TP.

Can anyone give me some insight into this mess? Thanks!
