Tegra 2 is the reason this phone is a big deal. This dual core processor is clocked in at 1GHz. Beyond the 1GHzCortex-A9 CPU cores, it also has eight GeForce GPU cores and still can include native HDMI and dual display support. This basically means that you can run a movie or video on your phone and HD Television at the same time. And while this may not be entirely necessary for you, many reviewers claim it has also greatly increased the capability of playing many games without feeling like you are watching them in slow motion. The Tegra 2 also allows the LG Optimus 2X to run at amazingly quick speeds and run several apps all at once without slowing down your phone at the same time.
