            this is what we needed. this will suck through the battery twice as fast regardless of what they say. more cores = more power consumption the rest is marketing BS.why 8 cores when 2 is enough? give us 2 cores that are very efficient, a more economical display, more performant battery so that we don't have to charge the phones twice a day.

              Octa means 8. In fact here Samsung is telling us that this octa is 4 A15 with lots of consumption at good speed. And a reduced consumption on the other 4 A7 cores. So this octa is a good 4 cores. So this is an evolution not revolution.

And with... moreAs exaggerated your comment is, i would still love to hear some facts from you to stand by those comments. IP5 is a good phone. And this comes from an S3 owner as i'm not biased towards any brand. IP5 is NOT better than S3 let alone be 2x or 4x faster. Valid arguments are accepted. Fanboy rants, not so much.

                    It's 72 GPU, not 72 CPU.

                    For Consideration... Tegra 3's 12 GPU is still below Power VR's 4 core GPU...

Since you cant feed them all fast enough, and I wonder how you split the data to be processed among them, I would not be very excited about it.
