Will you be selling your SGS2 for this?

Nope

Exynos > Tegra, especially with CF 3D.

Why would i sell a Cortex A9 CPU equipped device for a much slower Cortex A8 CPU equipped device?

The ONLY thing the Tegra unit has that the Exynos doesn't is official support for the Tegra zone games, games i dont play (and can be played with CFs driver anyway). In every other way the Exynos unit beats the Tegra one.

Tegra 2 is also a Cortex A9 architecture, but it has slower memory and no NEON instructions etc, so it is not as good as Exynos.

Also, I believe that Exynos can decode H.264 high profile in hardware unlike the Tegra2

This. The only reason I was hesitant about buying the S2 was the gaming side but with CF and other games now being released sans Tegra2 compatibility I'm glad I made the jump

So if it's the GT-I9103, it must be the one gsmarena promoted as the Samsung Galaxy Z which can't be compared to SII specs wise.

I think they're two different phones for different markets. The Tegra SGS2 is a carrier phone so I'm guessing Samsung won't distribute it themselves. Samsung said all along they wouldn't have enough Exynos chips for worldwide distribution and initial talk was that Tegra would be sent to developing countries along with a S-LCD screen. Interesting that they chose to send it to the U.S. It's cheaper and the quantities the U.S. needs probably would have been more than Exynos production could keep up with. Or maybe AT&T was looking for a bargain. The Atrix and O2X/G2X are on Tegra so it'll be interesting to see how Samsung's use of it performs. It's been pretty disappointing (except for gaming) so far.

i9103 is the Galaxy Z.

All the news sources are idiots and keep parroting each other with the wrong info.

I'm waiting for the 32GB version. I hope it's not going to be tegra. Does anybody know if it is the 32GB?

Afaik, there will not be 32gb version..

Absolutely not...

Why change my beautyfull SAMO-LED screen for a lousy S-LCD, when i have waited so long for that screen. The Nexus S got the S-lcd in our area, and i was very disappointed - the only solution with AMOLED was the aging Galaxy S. But then the SGS2 came out, and by no means i'm going to swap it for an S-lcd - Tegra or not... (preferrably NOT - with thought on Nvidia's strategy)

This GS2 with Tegra 2 already ran a ~4000 quadrant stock.

 

[KaliKot]

Again with the Quadrant scores which dont translate to real life usage

 

[lumbalombo]

TEGRA is it a stable version?
