Motorola Atrix 4G Gets Torn Down To The Underground

Our little buddy @grg is working on his Atrix review as we speak but that didn’t stop the kids at iFixIt from tearing down the 4G model for us all. Inside they found what they call “microchips” and a “battery cell,” all of which combine to offer telephonic communication with outside parties.

The most important chips include the Tegra processor and a cavalcade of stars including:

Qualcomm MDM6200 supporting HSPA+ speeds of up to 14.4 Mbps

Hynix H8BCSOQG0MMR 2-chip memory MCP

Elpida B8132B1PB. According to Chipworks, the Elpida package contains 1 GB DDR2 RAM, but also covers the Nvidia Tegra 2 CPU/GPU residing underneath the package.

Broadcom BCM4329 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth

AKM 8975 Electronic Compass
