Where/how do you see that? Netgear does claim 2.2 GHz for the RAX120 - whereas Qualcomm says that the IPQ8074 operates at 2.0 GHz. But here on the RAX200 we face - similar to the RAX80 - a BCM4908, commonly clocked at 1.8 GHz.
- avtellaApr 01, 2019ProdigyYeah NG claims 2.2 GHz in manual I believe. That means it’s an IPQ8078 and not IPQ8074 (2.0 GHz).
- avtellaApr 01, 2019ProdigyFor the RAX120 I meant.
The RAX200 is definitely a BCM chipset unit with a 1.8 GHz cpu. Seems literally an RAX80 with an extra 5Ghz band plus a 2.5 Gbps Eth port. - Redtulips7Apr 02, 2019Luminary

- avtellaApr 02, 2019ProdigyRAX120 has a Qualcomm IPQ8078 because NG advertises a 2.2Ghz CPU (has a 1.7 GHz NSS Dua Core). The IPQ8074 is 2.0 GHz with 1.5Ghz NSS Dual Core for packer acceleration, QoS etc. If you are getting info from Wiki Devi then it’s wrong.
The RAX80/RAX200 use a Broadcom made 1.8 GHz CPU with a 800 MHz offload core.
All three use ARM Cortex A53 CPUs.
