With the MWC looming, news of the latest smartphones are starting to leak more frequently. Most of these leaks have news of the latest and greatest smartphones featuring the very best in mobile tech. One of the most touted features are the use of quad-core processors in the latest smartphones. Now one can only logically assume that a quad-core would be faster than a dual-core processor. I mean, it’s a bigger number right? Well Texas Instruments is looking to change that view with their OMAP 5 smart multicore processor. Plus they have the video to prove it.
Their TI OMAP 5 chip features two Cortex A15 cores clocked at 800MHz. It has been tweaked and optimized to the max allowing it to compete with a device running a quad-core Cortex-A9. Each of the four cores runs at 1.3GHz. One would assume that the dual-core would have difficulty keeping up with the quad-core based on specs alone, but in fact it’s the other way around. The optimized dual-core completely blows the four core beast out of the water showing it not the size that matters, but how it’s used that counts. Watch the video to witness the amazing feat yourself:
