[Q] Will Tegra 2 games work on Exynos Galaxy S II ?

---

I just ordered my Galaxy S II from the UK, but there has been a question hangin over my head.

Will games that are optimized for Tegra 2 ( such as games in Tegra Zone ) work on the Galaxy S II with the Exynos chipset?

From reading other comments elsewhere it appeared that the Exynos chipset was better than the Tegra 2, or is the Tegra 2 just better in games?...

Tegra games will not work on any other GPU ATM
galaxy s and nexus s PowerVR sgx 540 and other high end GPUs are more than capable of running "tegra 2" games.
Not to mention the tegra 2 really isn't that much faster than the SGS NS sgx540 tegra has two CPU cores and from what i gathered when gaming it dedicated one core for system and the other strictly for games when gaming.


Nvidia is paying off developers just like they do on PC. only difference between mobile and PC though is that PC "nvidia meant to be played" games will still work on ATI
Not the same with other mobile GPUs unfortunately

Nvidia is ruining android by doing this exclusive BS
Also the SGS2 GPU should be on par if not faster than the tegra 2

^ Gotcha thanks!...

Not sure if this has been answered before, but this post seems like a good place for this discussion...

1. Why did samsung launch a phone under two different cpu's...

2. Doesn't this mean that when samsung goes to release an android update for the phone they have to make two different updates, one for each cpu?

1. Probably due to the limited supply of Exynos CPUs

2. No, unless there needs to be a new driver written for the CPU (which is highly unlikely)

Nvidia is just causing some more fragmentation. As if we needed anymore.

Not only that but AMD is actually getting into the Android hardware game so it's about to get even messier. I hope Google comes out with some kind of DirectX thing to help with this.
