Acer Liquid’s Snapdragon processor to be clocked at just 768MHz?

Ugh. Just weeks after we figured that Acer’s first Android-based handset would indeed ship with a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, a new slide over at an international Liquid presentation is suggesting otherwise. As you can clearly see above, it looks as if the Qualcomm-sourced CPU will be underclocked to just 768MHz, which makes little to no sense on the surface. Granted, most average consumers couldn’t care less about the CPU in their next smartphone, but it seems reasonable to think that the Liquid will lag behind its 1GHz contemporaries when used side-by-side. Who knows though — maybe this is just the thing necessary to squeeze a full week of battery life out of this thing. Or not.
