T vs TX Processor. any difference?

brapi — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 00:18:00 GMT

According to the specification here on the website, both devices will support a Qualcomm S4 chipset. MSM8260A.

My question is that according to the specification, T has Qualcomm "Krait" MSM8260A while TX has Qualcomm MSM8260A only

Any difference between this?

Also I have read from GSMarena that T supports a Krait processor while TX has a Scorpion processor, what I know about the Scorpion processor

is that it is the predecessor of Krait and it's S3 based.

I'm a little lost here.. does the TX really have S4 chipset or it's another S3 chipset that has been upgraded only? because from what I know S4 chips are always Krait based architecture.

EDIT: I noticed from the Sony specification site today that TX has 1.5GHz Qualcomm MSM8260-A but looking on the white paper it's only MSM8260 (lol it's S3 w/o an A) but yesterday I printed a hardcopy of the white paper of TX and it's showing MSM8260-A (S4 Chipset) so what happened to the white paper? it's edited again. this creates confusion to the readers and potential customers/buyers.

can anyone from the mods here clarify what really is the processor of TX?

here is the link of comparison http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4899&idPhone2=4959

TX is S4 CPU as well just not the LTE model. Same as non LTE Xperia T

It doesn't make sense that it'll be S4 as the GPU should be Adreno 225 not Adreno 220

White papers on the sonymobile site are still different.. what really is the processor of the TX? xperiablog posted a comparison chart to clear out the confusion but still it would be more accurate if the white papers here are consistent with the description.

I found a youtube video about the TX, when I pause the video at the 59th second, I see "8960A ....." under Baseband-Version

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBVLr92stw4

not sure if this is the CPU ??

the guy in the video also said that the TX is believed to be the LTE version of the T, very strange!! But if this is the case, I'll be very happy and my next phone will be the TX

I hope so, or maybe they have left overs from the Xperia S

I checked the WP now for Xperia TX and it shows 1.5 GHz Qualcomm MSM8260-A Dual Core.

And as I understand it's the correct one.

Hey brother,

have you find out the actual specssheet of T and TX.. Im really following up this going discussion and i have been got confused in between these two.

I also want to change my Xperia Arc S and want to buy TX if it is Krait with 225.

if not than i have to go with Xperia T only.

I wish Xperia V could have comeup with Krait with Adreno 225.

I found info about the MSM8260A that mention in sony white paper on qualcomm wiki page, here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(system_on_chip)

As we can see... there is the type Adreno 225 GPU with the 28nm, marked on Sony Xperia TX

Also I found a video that running on benchmark test, that XPERIA TX has the Adreno 225 GPU (02:54)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxU1QDAN7lE&feature=player_detailpage#t=174s

This proof is enough?

I'm a little bit more sure right now.
