iOS 5.1 beta hints at quad-cores for next-gen iPhone and iPad
Share:
It is believed that the core references Apple uses begins with the number 0 and therefore the single-core processors found in previous iOS devices were referred to as /cores/core.0. The dual-core A5 processors that are currently being used inside of the iPhone 4S and the iPad 2 are referenced with the code /cores/core.1. The code in question here is /cores/core.3 which would be used to reference a quad-core processor when following the pattern. As you can see they skipped the reference code /cores/core.2 which would have more than likely been a triple-core processor.

changing everything...again. cough cough... day before release they will probably scrap the quad core and go with the dual core for some reason. but hey, by appearing to go with quad core will certainly get all the attention once again! (even though by then quad core phones will already be on market)

Well of course there would already be quad core phones in the market before Apple releases their own. Remember that android devices get released every month, hahahahahaha

Too bad Android OS is so crippled it can't use more than one core. That's why its flails and stutters on dual core phones when even a single core iPhone 4 is smooth.

you saying your laggy gnex runs smooth completely discredits you...
My nexus one runs smoother than your GN-nevermind my sgs2.

Holy s**t are you spying on me? As far as I knew the only people who had used my GNex were me and my girlfriend...
How do you know how my phone performs? I'm pretty sure it's smooth.

Your an idiot!! Its cause android keeps running in the background and doesnt pause them like IOS does..

its a combination of factors like the live wallpapers, its code, the fact that it doesent run two cores at one time, unless it opens an aplication. you should stop just calling people idiots when you are the one who does not know what they are talking about

It doesn't matter if its already available in android devices,if the iphone 5 has a quad processor in it when its eventually released in sept/oct 2012 then its a certainty that it will then change everything again again

iPhone 12 Slogan:
"We've changed everything over and over, again and again, and now we've done it once more!"
Android doesn't rush things. The Manufacturers do. Don't blame an entire OS for other peoples' faults. (for gallitoking)
Looking at the other HTC article about their lost revenue, it's obvious that they need to stick to what Apple does: creating a SOLID and GREAT phone and updating it. The Evo line is...okay? I have an Evo 3D which was the first dual core to hit the states on a carrier, and that was great...but it wasn't as big a deal as the Evo 4G when that came out!
Iunno, it's just kind of a toss up. I will be getting an iPhone once a 4" comes. No questions. Especially if that mock up posted 12 hours ago is real...haha

Android does rush things.. Honeycomb was rushed and now is useless and obsolete ( a honeycomb tablet doesnt exited anyone anymore) .. the Nexus was rush in the announment back in Oct when clearly the nexus/ICS were not ready yet .. ( wanted to steal the thunder from Apple). I can go on but want to save my bullets for other fights/debates..

"Android doesn't rush things." -- you might want to check the android history books. Android was supposed to imitate RIM devices and when Apple released iOS 1.0, Android switched gears pronto. The early generations of android were a bit rushed.
