What can dual-core do for you: a course refresher what the A5 chip will bring to the Apple iPhone 4S

Completely satisfied with the 'dated' 65nm single-core CPU in my WP7 phone. Faster browsing would be nice, sure, but I'm sure Mango (and IE9) will deliver better performance and ... well, I'm not going to get a new phone for a while. Expensive little buggers. :/

The survey answers are designed so that the third answer is the only one you are to pick:
"I might look into getting a dual-core device when developers finally get it together, and release swarms of multicore-optimized apps."

The first two answers are designed to make you sound like an idiot if you pick them.

PA, stop doing surveys when you don't want to hear the answers.

Definitely wanting a dual-core. I'm an android addict and a gamer, who also uses their phone for (SHOCK!)basic phone functions, so everything about dual-core, the battery life especially, appeals heavily to me. The Galaxy S2 has me drooling, but I'll probably go for the EVO 3D since it's the only dual-core on Sprint within my time window for jumping ship from T-Mo.

I came from an overclocked desire z and i noticed a good difference moving up to my atrix. Then, i sold the atrix and moved up to an sgs2 and the difference is immense. Well worth it. The phone simply does not slowdown...EVER.

I can care less about apps; browsing, calling, video, and photography define my phone use.

Until cell phones can record with the same HD quality as some of the actual digital cameras out there, I'll be just fine with the 720p on my Evo Shift.

I tend to keep my phones a while so I'll be looking to a dual core phone as my next purchase. My reasoning is that over the next couple years the apps to take advantage of the hardware will follow with more widespread adoption of said hardware. It does tend to go both ways but generally the software available will use up whatever resources you can throw at it, at least eventually.

Dual core on Android powered phones makes sense as the next upgrade past Gingerbread will be optimized for dual core. I wouldn't worry about "falling behind" if you are interested in Windows powered devices, Blackberry 1.2 single core, the Pre3 WeBOS 1.4, or (gasp) the next iPhone offering- they will be optimized for those processors. Actually, there are some really good single core Android devices (infuse, Inspire, T-Bolt) which will be real nicely priced in a few months and still give great speeds- just not premium upgrade possabilities over two years.

Lets put it this way, if your getting a new phone it would be wise to do the duel core because of the long term upgradeablity. (rooting)

using an ipod touch 2g for internet everywhere i go with wifi, i have no problem with no flash support... therefore, i have no problem if i get a single core, 800mhz snapdragon 2nd gen. processor froyo-powered phone in a few months... (with adobe flash turned off)

i believe there will be need for this in futrure....what we need is a stable safe os...it always comes down the OS...we need dual core battery.. most android dual core phone are still laggy and sluggish... my hd7 is way faster than the lg revolution..its all about the OS.............

I'll be content with my single core phone. Web browsing is cool but I'm pretty much never in the situation where I NEED to have super fast web browsing while mobile. It's cool to have but unnecessary. The wifi speeds I get on my iPod touch are good enough and this thing isn't even 600 MHz. I'm good.

I can't believe it. Apple fanboys and Android fanboys are BOTH wrong and they are both RIGHT! Android copied Apple...at first. Then Android evolved and changed and became better for tech savey phone users. Apple basically remainded the same while still upgrading the hardware and becoming better for less tech savey people. Both types of phones are great and no one is copying the other (maybe a little). But they are both two toatally different types of phones. Each one good for its own market!
