Samsung to Unveil Eight-Core Chip for Smartphones and Tablets
- mtgx 14y agoA lot of people have misunderstood this. It does have 8 cores, but you can only use one cluster of 4 cores at a time, either the low-power A7 one or the high-performance A15 one. So it will still work effectively as a "quad core". The 4 low-power cores should only use like 2% of the chip's size, while giving a boost in overall power efficiency of the phone.
