T-Mobile G1 using multi-core Qualcomm processor?

[talkbackdroid]

A forum user has tipped off Android Community on the G1 chipset. It appears the chipset used in the G1 will be made by Qualcomm, and is one of the company's 7201 multi-core processors, a dual core to be precise. It is said to be more stable and energ... Read more

This would make sense. I was beginning to worry that this phone would not have the processor speed it would need to keep up with the data intensive applications.

Precisely The "Integrated ARM11™ applications processor and ARM9™ modem" is the Qualcomm 7201. The ARM11 and ARM9 operate on different architectures. So if an application uses the functionality of both, i.e. sms, mms, etc., that may cause a crash. However, crashing is VERY rare and only under VERY specific conditions, that's why the problem was only discovered recently. Thus far, it appears to be a driver issue. Last weekend, a number of Qualcomm engineers working on the 7201 worked late into the night on both days.

On a separate note... Apparently, G1 will be the first device sporting the new 7201.

No problem - let me know if you like it - I can change it to something else

So G1 won't have a real GPS?? I thought it has been confirmed that it has GPS. Unless you meant GPS + A-GPS? Oh well, we will find out in 10 hours...

[MrAndroidson]

looks like the whole GPS confirmation will have to wait til zero hour for it to be set in stone.

I don't think you have much to worry about. The largest thing Google has concentrated on is GPS functionality and using geo locations. Not having GPS would single-handedly ruin the device unless they announce functionality in the near-future... or some sort of bluetooth gps keychain included or something - which I actually like the idea of.
