Smartphone really need many-core chip?

It seems that the phone manufacturer and the hardware is too much advertising on the strength of the smartphone and cause psychologically "race" to customers. But what users have to type in return is not mentioned.
This partly explain why the version until now mobile operating system is Microsoft's latest Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango) does not support multi-core chips. In addition, experts from Microsoft also confirmed that most of the applications for smartphone or tablet is now no need (or not benefit) from dual or quad core chip, except when a number of formats or playing video games was "terrible".
The only dual-core smartphone really the most powerful when users play a game of "support".
Strategic Partners is a vendor of Microsoft mobile phones Nokia is the world's largest applaud this opinion and affirm the dual-core smartphone running Android by a variety of other manufacturers including HTC or Samsung will produce of a kind .... useless.
To prove his point, right at the CES 2012 show floor, an expert Windows Phone Evangelist Ben Randolph has decided to bet 100 USD / time that the smartphone HTC Titan (running single-core chip, Windows Phone 7.5) he has faster rate than any other smartphone in the application startup, web search or use the phone's functions.
Already more than 20 people accept the challenge of Evangelist Ben Randolph, and he only gave up only one time before a 4S iPhone users when the two together to send a message to Twitter.
Randolph and Greg Sullivan, a senior director in Windows Phone array, said experts focused on the Microsoft Windows Phone development so that they serve users in a better way rather than focus on the speed of the smartphone.
"A dual-core chips are less important for phone users, and most of the newer smartphones recently emerged could not explain why their phones not smartphones faster than other single-core" , Sullivan said in an interview, "The problem is that we do not have any application can utilize the power of dual-core chip."
Smartphone released dual-core, but more and more applications to harness the power of dual-core chip was almost not there. However, Sullivan also acknowledged the Windows Phone or any mobile operating system will also have to "move on dual-core" in the coming years also will need the tablet towards quad core. Many bloggers and technology experts evaluated products including JR Raphael of Computerworld magazine has recognized that the quad core chip has led to the Asus tablet Prime Transformer has just been released in November last year would become stronger.
Sullivan said that the current dual-core or quad core really only appeal to true enthusiasts who use technology (enthusiasts) or those in the mobile industry.
The strength of the power of advertising devices through the "show" many-core chip these manufacturers are trying to ignore a very important information as well as chip level, the "energy drain" of the device the greater.
"There are so many things in exchange for high-speed chip and the battery life is just one of those factors," Burden said experts.
Jack Gold, an analyst with J. Gold Associates, the opinion that the existing application of the world does not need to dual-core on quad core on a smartphone or tablet, but he predicted within a years time we will be releasing generation of new mobile applications can leverage the power of multiple core chips.
Applications or energy drain is not over. If a smartphone or tablet PC's hardware configuration you have a crisis but it comes with a wireless network is slow, it's all meaningless.
In the U.S., Sprint Nextel networks are beginning to launch a series smartphone and tablet extruded multi-core chip, but parallel to it, they're rushing to upgrade its mobile network to LTE technology as an act of "open remote highway "for the large-car engines move more. Recently, Sprint has launched additional models and LG Viper Galaxy Nexus supports LTE and 4G mobile networks using dual-core chip.
"Normally we tend to chase technology, but also good if there is a stage we can head off technology. Give customers the high-speed devices, providing high-speed wireless network high but no less important, but many people forget is: "Teach" to customers that know what to do, and how to exploit what they are good for users, "Ryan Sullivan, director of development Sprint's product development conclusion.

Asus will introduction tablet 7 inch at CES 2012 ?

The image of a tablet form similar to the Asus Prime Transformer with less than 10 inch screens have leaked, most likely that Asus will be introduced at CES 2012 here a 7 inch tablet form.
Asus may be planning to attack the market tablets 7 inch, where Samsung has released version 7 inch tablet. Taiwanese companies are now limiting the scope of their tablets, only to release the 10 inch version, such as the recent Eee Pad Transformer Prime.
Meanwhile, Samsung has released the Galaxy tablet version 7 inch, 8.9 inch and 10.1 inch. The recent success of Amazon Kindle Fire showed many consumers are interested in 7-inch tablet form.
Rumors of a 7 inch tablet from Asus has been brought before the last Christmas period shows a device called Eee Memo Pad is expected to debut at CES 2012. And with a picture posted from Notebook Italia that this information seems to be quite accurate.
Eee Memo Pad can be a smaller version of the Transformer, but also can be a completely new version. Not many details about the product and we can always consider that only the image of a fan designed product only.
But if the image is correct from Asus, a 7 inch tablet's ready to be unveiled at CES 2012. According to the memo predicted would be equipped with Snapdragon processor speed of 1.2 GHz, and the connection 3G/Wi-Fi of 16/32/64 GB. In addition, according to Engadget, the more likely the Memo screen 7 inch will have a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixel.
The confirmation of the time and day of the Asus press event at CES 2012 has not been matched.

The quad phones expected in 2012

Only a year ago, dual-core mobile phone was a new concept, now, the chip maker has chosen processor quad-core processor for multitasking demands on the growing mobile enough to compare the performance with the desktop.
Optimus 2X LG smartphone is using a dual-core processor in the world first
One of the most searched for mobile phones in 2011 as "dual-core". Ministry of dual-core processors have become the standard for high-end smartphone, the LG Optimus 2X starting in January. However, in 2012 all will be talking about quad-core, processor cores doubled compared to the current dual-core smartphone. And most likely quad-core processors are also the representatives of the smartphone in 2012.
Let us look into the quad-core processors in smartphones next year

The power of multi-core processors

Nvidia is the first manufacturer to launch dual-core processor for mobile devices with members of LG Optimus 2X was released for the first time, using the Tegra processors 2. And represents the first use of quad-core processor is Nvidia's Tegra 3 tablet Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF201 Prime fixed shelves is 12.19 days to come. This processor speed is 1.3 GHz and quad-core processors on the market only. Prime Transformer is rated very high with beautiful graphics and compelling performance.
Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF201 is Prime tablet running quad-core processor first
However, other manufacturers are very confidential conversation device manufacturers to use quad-core processors. Nvidia said that some equipment manufacturers have chosen Tegra 3 for his phone but did not disclose what they are conducting. However, the most likely phone quad-core will be released in quarter 1 / 2012.
Of course, it can not stop the rumors floating about the devices from the forum or blog page. The rumors of HTC smartphone Edge is said to be the first quad-core processor running the world's Tegra 3 was revealed. Pocketnow Board Statistics has published exclusive photos of the Edge. But more remarkable when the current multi-page message to the world easily "overwhelmed" when stuck for what is called the "reliable sources", but just are not that information has been finished do.
Qualcomm has announced that it has successfully developed a quad-core Snapdragon processor code-named S4 APQ064 assigned. S4 is based on the incoming ARM, running at speeds from 1.5 to 2.5 GHz. Vice President of product management for Qualcomm, Mr. Raj Talluri, said that smartphone running quad-core processors first Snapdragon will be released globally on holiday next year.
Unlike Nvidia, and Qualcomm, producer TI processor does not set clear objectives for its OMAP processors. Instead of calling are dual-core or quad-core, TI said it was "multicore processors." The company released five OMAP processor SoC (system-on-chip) but did not give any precise standards. The thing is they think OMAP 5 competitors with quad-core processor from Nvidia.
Smartphones and tablet computers used by Samsung's Snapdragon processor and Tegra, but parts of the semiconductor manufacturing company has also introduced the next generation of SoC processors Exynos line. Accordingly, Exynos 5250 is quad-core processor, but remember it was developed based on the processor's dual-core ARM Cortex-A15. Like TI, Samsung Exynos seems confident that 5250 could become a standard and competitor performance processors with quad-core current.

More cores is better?

According to Nvidia, quad-core processors to improve performance in multitasking workflow as well as the performance of multithreaded applications. According to a quad-core processors will bring to mobile working capabilities comparable to desktop.
Nick Stam, director of technical marketing at Nvidia commented that: "People will look at your phone as a computer. Quad-core processor of the phone enough to replace many functions of a notebook or desktop computer. "
Talluri also hope you will see the power of quad-core processors in multi-tasking capabilities. This speed allows users to switch between open applications at a rate much faster than working with a dual-core phone.
Some examples of applications to take advantage of quad-core processors on the smartphone can be said as the game. Quad-core processors capable of supporting multi-threaded applications, meaning that an application can run multiple processes at once, so playing games on your phone can support quad core and more more tasks.
The game is not the only application that can benefit from quad-core processors. Can be included as image editing software will process faster than phone use single core processors or dual core. Applications, such as images and video for Adobe Photoshop Touch tablet sometimes benefit from the increase in core processing power.
One argument against the quad-core smartphone devices and even dual-core content that is not really optimized to take advantage of multiple cores. We both Nvidia and Qualcomm are very active in the development to optimize the content on your processor.

And the problem with battery life

Shorten the battery life is something that smartphone users will certainly feel uneasy. Pin on a smartphone can not seem to serve the fast growing demand of the processor with the network connection stronger.
However, Nvidia said that the quad-core processors they can actually affect less battery life than single processors or dual core. With Tegra 3, the process is assigned to work across multiple cores, so a quad-core smartphone consume less power than a dual-core smartphone. Tegra processor actually has three additional core companion named No. 5 was designed by providing lower performance on a particular piece of silicon. Companion capable of handling the duties at a lower speed when operating in standby mode, music and video playback.
Talluri explained that quad-core processor from Qualcomm will be able to run simultaneously at multiple speeds and different voltages. For example, if a user opens an email (requires less power) and then click on the link opens a web page flash video (requires significantly more power), intelligent systems can be adapted to communicate for processor cores at different power levels.
Most likely quad-core tablet to make landfall at CES took place in January 2012, while the first quad-core smartphone (most likely using processors from Nvidia) will display at the Mobile World Congress later a month. And now, it's too early to predict the impact of quad-core smartphone on the mobile world.
