given the earlier video, i would say the screen is a capacitive, given how the user is not using the nail of his finger...
either that, or its one of the softest touch resistives i have seen!

Anonymous, 23 Oct 2009Yes, they're both single core, but the difference is massive, it's like Pentium 1 to Pentium 4... moreThanks for explanation. It helped me a lot. Can you send me a link with benchmark data, because I want to compare some more chipsets?

the 800Mhz arm11 cpu is almost as fast as a 600Mhz cortex A-8. Just a tad slower. snapdragon is qualcomms implementation of the cortex A-8, so the 768Mhz snapdragon is much faster than an 800Mhz arm11 cpu.

IN Fact, 3 weeks ago I read a new here in Brazil, tha the brazilian market would be the first market to recevi the Galaxy Lite, in november.... now, who's lying? The Russians or the Brazilians?

My kingdom for a Cortex A8!

(I chose this comparison because it might be a bit more clear than my previous one, considering they're both single cores now)
Really, we're talking about, just like I said in my previous comment, a 200 to 300% performance gain compared to ARMv6 (ARM11(76), which is in this handset).
Besides, the Liquid has a far more powerful GPU as well.
(4M Triangles/Second from the GPU of the S3C6410 in the Spica vs. 22M Triangles/Second from the GPU of the Snapdragon in the Liquid.

For an explanation of the architectural improvements, check out this article on the iPhone 3GS's CPU (which is Cortex A8, same architecture as the Snapdragon) over at Anandtech:

On the other hand I think that Snapdragon can support more advanced functionality and maybe it can be overclocked to 1Ghz (I am just speculating).

ok, it is fast but are this CPUs really comparable just by MHz? as it is different implementation of ARM architecture it should have different performance. just like x86 cpus P3, P4, Core, athlon XP/64 all can work with 1500 mhz clock but their performance is not equal. does anyone have benchmarks which show real performance of diffrent ARM cpus?
I hope you understand my english :)
cheers
