T vs TX Processor. any difference?

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

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

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)

This proof is enough?

I'm a little bit more sure right now.
