Does the Droid X have a 3630 or 3640 CPU?

Something I've been wondering...

Does the Droid X have an OMAP3630 or an OMAP3640 CPU in it? Not that it makes a whole lot of difference, but I'm curious.

According to most rumors and even this (leaked?) "official" spec sheet, it's a 3630. However, as we've seen, Verizon's PR has already screwed up when defining what CPU is in the device on more than one occasion.

I cannot find any right now but I have seen some reviews swear up and down that it's the 3640 and not the 3630. I suspect it's based on this Wikipedia page.

Lastly, there's this discussion where people seem confident that it's the 3630, but I'm still challenging the claim rather than assuming they're right. Ultimately, I think the one person is right though: we'll never notice the difference. :icon_ banana:

Anybody else have anything conclusive on this topic?

The Motorola guy giving the Demo said 3630..

Yes, i believe it is 3630 as well..

I woulda believed 3640 based on that wiki page too. According to the Moto Dev site its 3630-1000. Thats all we got so far.

The official model number I've seen thrown around is 3630-1000.

I've seen both in multiple places. The 3630 is supposed to max out at 720 mhz while the 3640 is 1ghz. It would seem strange if the X is using the 3630 being OCed to 1ghz, but I really have no idea. I HOPE it's the 3640.

Unofficially, a guy on howardforums.com mentioned the 3630 used memory better than the 3640? If thats the case, they either overclocked it to a stable 1Ghz or made a revision of the 3630 that runs at 1Ghz.

The current Snapdragon, QSD 8650, has a recent revision called QSD 8650 A. It runs at 1.3Ghz and is a 45nm chip. Maybe T.I. made a revision.

Good to know. Hopefully Motorola will clear this up soon.

This is exactly what TI did when going from the OMAP3430 to the OMAP3630, from my reading. The difference is that the 3430 was 65nm while the 3630 is at 45nm, hence the reason it's faster. As such, the GPU, while being the same GPU, should also be able to be faster. And perhaps they threw in more memory, I forget now. But simply because of the smaller process and no other changes, the 3630 > 3430 simply because of less power which, directly translated to non-tech people, means either they can turn up the speed on it and/or we save power from our batteries without making any other changes. It's kinda like throwing a 1-pound baseball or a 1-pound volleyball - you can probably throw that baseball much further because it's smaller (yeah, a gross bastardization comparing aerodynamics to power, but it works pretty well here).
