http://www.talkandroid.com – Speaking at Born Mobile in China, Qualcomm CEO, Paul Jacobs, presented an argument against the escalating core wars mobile manufacturers are engaged in. He called the eight cores in Samsung’s Exynos 5 Octa a meaningless number intended as a publicity stunt. Jacobs argued the increased number of cores could lead to diminished returns due to a more complex management of the cores from an energy and thermal standpoint. He said he did not believe the numbers game would continue for long as the focus would inevitably shift toward the end user experience. He cited things like speedy down (IT news)

Stories similar to Qualcomm CEO Pours Hater-Aid All Over Samsung’s Eight-Core Processor

  You knew that it was only a matter of time before we saw the next wave of weapons to be used in the wonderful world of processors here at CES. NVIDIA struck first by introducing its Tegra 4 processor– then hours later, Qualcomm introduced what was presumably the chipset series to beat– and now we have yet another chipset that trumps both.

I have a Dell server with two cpus, each cpu has 6 cores, and each core is hyperthreaded (i.e. should be equivalent to two virtual cores).

Here we are again, in the midst of Galaxy S IV rumor season, and this year’s brought about a bountiful harvest. The latest rumor in the bunch is that Samsung’s next flagship will feature a hardcore Exynos 5 Octa processor clocked at 1.8GHz, according to SamMobile. For what it’s worth, that’s eight cores.

Quad-core phones? Old news. All the manufacturers are doing that now. How about a 48-core CPU for smartphones and tablets? Intel’s looking to shake up the mobile market and make that kind of processing power a reality within the next ten years.

When it comes to multicore processors, if the frequency is rated as 3GHz, does that mean it is 3 GHz per core or 3 GHz divided by the number of cores.

Like in the title, for a 3 GHz dual core, would it be 3 GHz per core or 3 GHz / 2 cores = 1.5 GHz per core?

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Could you please Tell me the command to find the number of cores in red hat box?

I have tried cat cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor | wc -l command to find the number of processers.

But need to fond the number of cores.

Is there any difference between core and processor?

Please help on this.

Regards, Vikas.

I am trying to run my program in more than one core. I have 12 cores in my desktop and want the computer to use 1,2,3,4,......,11,12 one by one and want to test how the program performs in different number of cores. I tried using -t4 or -t 4 after the executable like.

./a.out -t4

but I cannot make sure whether its using exactly 4 or not.

As reported earlier, Qualcomm’s latest mobile development platform (MDP), the Snapdragon S4 Pro Dev is now available. Powering this device is their new APQ8064 chipset based on a quad core Snapdragon S4. Given the strong numbers posted by dual core S4 chips against quad core chipsets from other manufacturers, it should be no surprise that the quad core S4 just blows them away.

Samsung is apparently giving Qualcomm the boot and looking to distance themselves from the major chip manufacture to start using their own next-gen quad-core Exynos CPU on the yet to be revealed Galaxy S III.  An unnamed Samsung exec spilled the beans when hinting to the Korea Times that the new flagship device will not include Qualcomm’s CPU.
