This really isn't true. A rudimentary "Hello World" app, maybe, but all of the common apps that are being run are heavily multithreaded.
Even an app that just uses stock/fairly common libs (like AFNetworking) is going to be multithreaded by virtue of those things alone.
Multi-core performance is critical in the iOS ecosystem, single-core is hardly a concern anymore.
- manmal 12y agoI think the GP's implication is that the A8 can deal we'll with apps that primarily work on the main/UI thread - which most apps do.
- kec 12y agoJust because an app is multithreaded doesn't mean it's going to scale to use more than one core on average. It doesn't matter if you can do networking in a background thread if your UI is just going to block until the results come in.
