The Palm Pixi will be the first smartphone to ship with Qualcomm’s new MSM7627 chipset, so there are understandably a lot of questions about what the lower-cost processor will be capable of. While we’ve seen in action that the Pixi isn’t quite as snappy as the Pre, and Palm has said that it won’t support as many open cards (which would seem to be more of a RAM limitation than the processor), the MSM7627 has remained cloaked in mystery.
Over at PalmInfocenter they’ve gotten their hands on the full spec sheet for the MSM7627, which you’ll find below:
- Two ARM cores integrated into a single chip – a dedicated CPU core and a dedicated modem processor – for an unparalleled level of integration:
- 1. 600MHz applications processor with floating point unit and L2 cache
- 2. 400MHz modem processor
- 1. 600MHz applications processor with floating point unit and L2 cache
- Supports both CDMA2000® 1xEV-DO Rev. A and UMTS HSDPA 7.2Mbps/HSUPA 5.76Mbps, and GSM
- In addition to the two ARM cores, features 320MHz application DSP for multimedia supporting full 30 fps WVGA encode/decode, 200MHz hardware-accelerated 3D graphics core supporting OPEN GL 2.0, high-resolution camera, integrated GPS
- 12mm x 12mm footprint
- Optimized power consumption
Yup, you read that right: the modem chip will easily support both EVDO (on the currently announced Pixi) and HSDPA (for the GSM Pixi we all know has to eventually come) - so at least we can be pretty sure that when Palm slaps a GSM radio in this thing, we won't have to guess about the chip again (Update, to clarify - the processor can play nice with both CDMA and GSM, but again, the Pixi is CDMA only). Also, the 320 MHz DSP (digital signal processor) and 200 MHz 3D graphics core should provide adequate oomph for gaming, once Palm gets around to whipping up an SDK to take advantage of the chip.

Ummm is this precentral.net....or pixicentral.net....I've really been having a hard time telling lately!
Good! I was worried that there might be a pixicentral that would have different news than precentral. Personally, I prefer that it be WebOS focused instead of two sites (one for Pre & another for Pixi).
and had the pixi been called mini-pre would you be happier?
Ok well that makes since
how does that processor compare to the one inside the pre? does the pre have a graphics core as well?
Waah waah. Its a webos device, its new and its exciting. Get over yourself. They arnt going to create a new site just for the pixi.

The videos I saw seemed plenty snappy to me. Maybe my Pre is just a little slow, but the videos I saw of the Pixi seemed just as fast or faster.
Need 1.2 first before making comparisons with Pre.
So when it comes out, where can i buy a Pixi?
isnt the processor in the pre 600mhz as well? which means the pixi and the pre are the same speed?
Isn't the Pre's processor running at 500MHz instead of 600?
Yeah, and I don't remember hearing the Pre had 2 Arm cores in 1 chip. Can we see somewhere the exact specs of the Pre?! Anyway thabks Derek and Dieter for reporting ALL WebOS news. I appreciate it!
who cares about the pixi!!!!!!! like wow stop
Wow. The multi-core nature makes me less skeptical of Pixi's abilities, even curious. But can anyone comment intelligently on how this will impact the dinky 1150mAh battery?

Whoa, whoa whoa. The Pixi is gonna be a Worldphone(CDMA and GSM in the same device)? Or is this writeup not differentiating between CDMA ver and GSM version?
I believe it means they chip can support those kinds of radios. I'm not sure I see here whether it can support both simultaneously or not. But regardless, I don't think this necessarily means a given phone will have both radios unless Palm puts 'um in.
