I had to look up the SoC used, it's MediaTek's Helio X20 with ten cores: http://mediatek-helio.com/x20/ http://mediatek-helio.com/x20/. The cores are: 2x C

I had to look up the SoC used, it's MediaTek's Helio X20 with ten cores: http://mediatek-helio.com/x20/ http://mediatek-helio.com/x20/. The cores are:
2x Cortex-A72 @ 2.1GHz ~ 2.3GHz
4x Cortex-A53 @ 1.85GHz
4x Cortex-A53 @ 1.4GHz
That sure is a lot of cores (and the rest of the features sound nice too, like the support for a 32 megapixel camera). Quite the impressive piece of technology to put in a phone-sized form factor, really.
- viraptor 10y agoLooks like a great opportunity for switching them off to get extra power saving. I haven't seen this used before - is there any known phone with mixed frequency cores on the market?
- cooper12 10y agoThe latest iPhone 's A10 processor has two high performance cores and two high efficiency cores that it switches between. The concept is also predated by ARM's big.LITTLE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_big.LITTLE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_big.LITTLE and the article lists some implementations.
