there is OMAP5 before OMAP6.
OMAP 4460 is next gen in a way. Its similar to how OMAP3430 and OMAP3630 were different. Droid was on 3430 and Droid2 and DroidX were on 3630.

If Samsung fails to use the Exynos chip on the Nexus Prime, I probably won’t buy it until it does.

Yeah, the 4212 still uses the Mali400 just clocked higher, same with the 4460. Samsung likes to overemphasize the performance increase. The SGX540 is still a very powerful GPU, it was in the Hummingbird and it’s even more so now considering it’s clocked significantly faster and has far more memory bandwidth.

A smaller die doesn’t mean it can do more instructions per clock, just that it has reduced power consumption and can thus be clocked higher. Unlike the Exynos however, the OMAP4 uses two Cortex M3s for much greater power efficiency while idling or during less demanding tasks. Have you seen the reports of the GS2 overheating? I would say the Exynos needs the die shrink more than the OMAP4. My Bionic’s 4430 barely gets warm.

Honestly, you won’t notice the difference in performance between the two except in some GPU heavy benchmarks, I haven’t come across anything that doesn’t run smooth on my Bionic (except for some badly coded programs that have no reason to run slow yet do). Live wallpaper, games and the general responsiveness of Android are all extremely fast.

The TI OMAP 4430 is also in the LG Thrill 4G (aka Optimus 3D).

Good grief! I heard Exynos does not play well with LTE….

Yes they will. NEXUS uses the same one that’s in the Charge, but i didn’t say that out loud. anyway Moto built one for the Bionic but that’s about it. I I’m no microprocessor engineer but it has to do with the communication between them. Exynos is currently in the situation trgra 2 was with cdma/lte, it’s not that it won’t work, just needs more work to make it work, which certainly won’t happen in time for launch.

Gotchya. Yeah, I’m pretty sure it will have a TI 4460 but won’t they need a Qualcomm LTE modem anyway? Only Qualcomm has integrated CDMA/LTE on their SoC’s at the moment as far as I know…

I already am very aware of that…reread what I said..CDMA/LTE which is a special chipset Verizon uses to combine it’s CDMA 2 and 3G networks with a 4G GSM network, not straight GSM LTE which is now supported in the newer line. This will likely change soon, but it’s not there yet.

This new Exynos 4212 will work with LTE. http://samsung.co.kr/article.do?cmd=view&numb=2&curPage=1&searchCategory=1&contentId=126771&sortWord=regdate&searchColumn=all&searchWord=&searchCompany=-1&startDate=&endDate=
Near the bottom of that page, it says “LTE, Long Term Evolution.” Also this is supposed to be the 1.5 GHz processor that is going to be used in the LTE versions of the Galaxy S II – previously thought to be a Qualcomm processor.

This new Exynos 4212 is said to have 50% better graphics performance than the current Exynos 4210 with the Mali-400. So it may actually have a multi-core PowerVR SGX543+ GPU rather than the Mali-400.

But yeah, the main difference is the graphics and how the CPU uses the GPU. I would be much happier with this Samsung Exynos rather than a 4430 or 4460 which has an outdated GPU.

And its dual core will run smoother than quad core androids lol.

The Mali400MP4 in the Exynos is a faster GPU than the SGX540 in the OMAP 4430 through 4460 but they are both very fast SOCs that won’t show any slow performance in usage. My Bionic’s 4430 at 1 GHz is fast as hell. I would have liked to have seen an OMAP 4470 with the SGX544 but that doesn’t sample until Q1 2012.

Nvidia’s quad core has been delayed repeatedly and you won’t be seeing it in phones until after the first quarter of next year. Btw, you shouldn’t take rumor as fact.
