[WU] Intel: Android dual core support so poor “having a second core is actually a detriment”

Bell also claimed that Intel’s internal testing had shown multi-core implementations running slower than single core, however he did not finger any particular chip. “If you take a look a lot of handsets on the market, when you turn on the second core or having the second core there [on die], the [current] leakage is high enough and their power threshold is low enough because of the size of the case that it isn’t entirely clear you get much of a benefit to turning the second core on. We ran our own numbers and [in] some of the use cases we’ve seen, having a second core is actually a detriment, because of the way some of the people have not implemented their thread scheduling.”

But as long as it's 2 or 4, massed will keep buying and bahsing iOS, Windows Phones...

Are additional cores not turned off when unused? That would seem to make this entire spiel moot.

Because Intel complaining about the leakage too high and thermal envelope too small absolutely must be independent objective research and probably isn't a marketing ploy in any way, shape or form.

I'm going to have to see if I can turn off one of the cores on my Gnex, and see if I notice a difference. thinking.gif

They still consume power. Not having a second core is the only way to have the second core consume 0.0w.

aye, windows phone owns One X in terms of taking picture and sharing it on the web whilst One X is hold by some very weird noob who couldn't take picture for some reason...
Source is called "Windows Phone Community"

Seems legit.

I like Intel a lot.....but they are going to have to get together with Microsoft and release some questionable viral videos before I start listening to them about the cell phone game.

i have to agree with intel here that the current dual core implementation is rubbish. you barely get any faster and it is still struggling to render the UI some of the time let alone games especially at 720p. most importantly it is a power hog with about 2-3 hours standby before it needs a full recharge if you so happen to have a background running process that android forgot to kill and it generates so much heat that is burns your fingers. but i have to admit it is mostly android's fault
