I still think what's the need of quad core proccessors for mobile phones???
Where a dual core cpu is f.enough for a PC...!!!
What can you do with a quad core mobile, which you can't do with dual core one(even some single cores!)???
Higher benchmarks, n that all sh¡t don't work in real life.., they're just for comparison....!!

    Nice achievement Samsung, too bad you're running Android on it. Doesn't matter whether if it's octo-core, bazillion-core, Android will still lag - http://techland.time.com/2011/12/07/is-android-doomed-to-lag-more-than-ios/

      Damn, sucks! Cortex A9 with only 1.4 Ghz, Samsung Goodbye! So maybe next year. Very, Very upset! Do not buy! Do not buy! Let's see if Samsung will learn from this disappointment!

        AnonD-47715, 26 Apr 2012How do you know there is a companion core?It's more a chip dedicated to manage the main exynos, than a chip replacing it in low consuming tasks :

        http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/minisite/Exynos/news_12.html#mainClick

        Samsung developed a power management IC (PMIC), the S5M8767, as a companion chip to power the Exynos 4 Quad processor. By integrating various circuitry such as nine highly efficient and programmable buck converters and 28 low-dropout regulators (LDOs) into the small package of 5.0 mm x 5.0mm x 0.4mm, the S5M8767 is designed to scale up or down the dynamic voltage depending on the clock speed in 6.25mV step for managing power delivery and maximizing battery life at the system level.

                        usman, 26 Apr 2012do you know that one S beats the shit out of one X?? Which ... moreyou cant really compare the htc one x having a 4.7 inch HD display while the one S and the Galaxy S2 both have smaller and lower resolution 4.3 inch displays, with that said I am sure you know that the HD screens require more processing power than smaller screens. IF you really want to compare try the HTC ONE X gsm version Quad core vs the ONE x LTE(US) same processer as the one found in the one S version. But I agree that when samsung relase their Quad core it will beat the HTC one x.
