Low end phones have 1 slow core, as far as I'm aware. I'm not aware of very many 8 core phones, let alone low end ones.

- fabrice_d 12y agoquad cores will be low end by the time servo is ready!
- qznc 12y agoA few slow cores can do the work of one fast core in the same time with less energy. At least sometimes, depending on the parallelisation/synchronisation overhead. This is an important consideration for future mobile architectures.
- Symmetry 12y agoGP meant low end smartphones. The first 64 bit android phone was one with 8 A53s coming out in China. Before that using 8 A7s was very popular. Small cores are very small compared to higher end cores. Part of this is 8 being a lucky number.
- anonbanker 12y agobought a knock-off Lenovo S850p (which is decidedly not lenovo) off Aliexpress a few months back [1]. unit legitimately has 8-cores (Mediatek 6595 Processor), and 4GB of ram. Other than the abysmal viewing angle, it's an incredible piece of hardware, especially for $100. I install Xiaomi's latest MIUI on them (and Play Store), and then resell them locally for $300 each. and people tell me they're stealing them from me at that price. 1. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Original-lenovo-s850c-Max-4G-RAM-MTK-Octa-Core-4G-LTE-FDD-2-5GHz-20-0MP/32288041771.html http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Original-lenovo-s850c-Max-4G-...
