Phones like the N82, N95, N95 8GB or also E90 are running with the great CPU Texas Instruments OMAP 2420. This CPU has an integrated 3D accelerator which can execute highly expensive graphical operations.This topic is especially interesting considering the thing that the phones mentioned ahead are all real power phones being able to display very impressive graphics.
