Default [GPU] Tegra 2 vs Exynos

The Tegra2 version is confirmed now.
http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/03/c...-ii-is-coming/

So what do you think - which version will be better and which will you get?
I know the benchmarks so far are speaking for Tegra 2 but is this true?

Tegra 2 version will have more compatibility with other tegra 2 devices, so it's possible to get new versions of CyanogenMod quickly. Exynos is unique though, makes you feel special knowing that you're using something different.

...and a bunch of other phones in between

Makes sense.. I just wonder if Tegra 2 will be performing better than Exynos.
I've already reordered a version with Exynos but I might cancel it...

So I guess we will also need a new dev forum for the new version as ROMs wouldn't be compatible? :/

How will the average consumer know the difference when buying the hand set, will out be clearly stated on the box?

Probably going to be region-dependant on whether you get the exynos or tegra 2. The biggest gripe I have with the tegra 2 is that it doesn't support h264 high-profile encodes. I'll probably get the exynos version if possible.

I read Exynos is for US and UK. The rest getting Tegra 2.

Not sure how true that is though?

Is that just people guessing or is there any info from Samsung ?
GT-I9100, which is the Exynos model, is the version that is mentioned on Samsungs swedish site.
So that indicates the info may be wrong.

I also preordered a I9100 in Switzerland.. so this means nothing.
I think Tegra 2 will come after all Exynos are shipped.

I dont really care what version i get. The only advantage is see is there will be more games optimized for tegra2. Thought i dont really care about that. I wont be playing those games anyway. I like casual games more, like angry birds or cut the ropes and similar games.

Btw preordered at amazon germany.
