When it comes to mobile, gadgets and technology, there is always a feature everyone is crazy about at every given time.
Throwback to the days when everyone was fascinating about Mega Pixel of their phone camera, and after that era, Screen size of mobile phone started trending. The bigger the size of the phone screen, the more fascinated people are. Seems the benchmark has now changed to the mobile processor on the phone. Single-core, dual core,quad core processors. Without knowing what this multi-core architecture really mean, people make it top priority when purchasing mobile phones.
So in this article we are going to learn what is the exact meaning of mobile processors are, how they differ and their advantages over one another.
DifferencesA quad-core processor requires half the time required by a dual- core processor can carry out a task. In simple words, this means a quad-core will do what a dual-core can do but twice the speed!.
In actual sense, a more powerful processor is not always important. Because processor takes help from ROM(read only memory) and RAM(random access memory), the amount of RAM is always as important as a processor and it makes big difference in performance.
Power consumption
Can having multi-core processor on a smartphone have impact on the the battery usage?
We do not believe so as the latest Quad core processors come with advanced architecture which consumes less power and even in some conditions they beats the dual core processors. In normal conditions the mobile phone switch off the non used cores and they will be activated when they will actually needed. So, battery power depends on the amount of mAh of battery,not totally on processor.
In conclusion, as much as quad-core performs faster than dual-core, it still relatively depends on the architecture and RAM. So don't just check out for the processor, as this doesn't make much difference standing alone.
