Just hit the FCC within the past few weeks
https://fccid.io/TE7
C2300V2 is C2300 replacement.
BCM4906 1.8ghz 64 bit dual core A53 > MT7621AT 880mhz MIPS dual core (downgrade)
Broadcom BCM4365E (3x3 wave 2) > MT7615N (4x4 wave 2) Upgrade or downgrade depending how you look at it, generally id argue that the 4x4 radio is better, but.. Mediatek is usually a cheaper alternative.. this specific radio can perform exceptionally WELL in range though.)
2.4ghz is BCM4360>MT7615N (upgrade; likely better internal performance)
Radios seems to be configured for 4 antennas meaning its potentially 1773 + 600. Previous C2300 was configured as 1625 (nitroqam) + 600. (really a 1300 + 600 for most purposes) The radios technically offer better range on this v2 model regardless of the clients your feeding assuming there's no incompatibility.
_
GX90 seems like a budget "tri-band" solution targeted at Gamers.
Main CPU is a BCM6755 1.5GHZ quadcore A7. This is decent relative to stuff not A53 broadcom, but I'd assume 2 cores are dedicated to the radio portion of the SoC since this chip can do 2x2 + 2x2 side by side. In reality, this chip may be a dual core + 2 cores dedicated to radios based on how previous Broadcom hardware works. I'm not exactly sure, just basing my observations on what I see and comparatively to the BCM6750 which is a tri core design with 1 dedicated 2x2 feed. BCM43684 has an 1.5ghz internal CPU according to ARRIS marketing.
Has a dedicated switch chip since BCM6755 doesn't apparently have an integrated one like BCM6750.
Main AX chip is the popular BCM43684. I assume this works as a full 4x4 design... meaning this is a 600 2.4ghz (2x2) + 1200 5ghz (2x2) + 4800 5ghz (4x4) router to get 6600 rating.
_
The Ax90 looks like it shares the same hardware. Not sure why they needed to waste money on ID/PCB for this model but i guess there's "reasons". Id personally stick to one PCB to save cost, but I digress.
tl;dr the c2300 v2 is an upgrade or downgrade depending on how you look at it. I'd argue for most consumers, its likely an upgrade just due to the 4x4 hardware having respectable performance in other designs. CPU is certainly worse on all fronts.
GX90 likely has a gamer tax. Prob performs similarly to AX90.
