Ok, let's hope samsung becomes better in this area, so this is ok for me.
But isn't the cortex with 600 mhz faster than the arm11 with 633?
Another thing is, that the OMAP3 core has (afaik) bigger caches than the
S3C.

Did I get this right? GTA04 will get the same glamo we GTA02 owners know?
Will it be good enough with the new connections of the S3C64xx, even if the
other limitations (blitting only  512x512) are still existant?
