Just to make you smile, YES your 8cored dream phone would not be laggy. BUT! would it really be optimal for REAL-LIFE use? There is a VERY BIG difference between Optimal than just Bragging Rights. See that its not the HARDWARE who needs to Adjust, its the OS. :)

    Samsung will release 8 Cores,
    ZTE as well, and Terga 4 will also be a powerhouse.
    This Will Prove that WP is the true laggy OS now.

    ok so 4.1 and 4.2 have been seen to lag, but see 4.3 and 5.0 to judge first, but give Google time to release this soon.
    Then see the true power been released that only Android can handle making lag the lie said only from miscrosoft officers


    Next HTC with Tegra4 and super sense 5 will be 100% lag free under Android 5.0 next year!

    Then talk about your single core WP LOL.

    8cores vs single next year. WP7.8 is born dead
    against true processing.

LoL. .Dude, that 8cored phone is not Real life tested so don't keep your hopes high. .haven't you noticed why Intel and AMD don't make 8cored procies', its b'coz those would suck-up power. It takes years before you can optimize that. Thats why there are Nahalem, Sandy and Ivy. Plus the Os must also be optimized for the hardware, not the hardware to be upgraded continously for the Os. . :)

          Phone will have 8 cores. 4 fast cores and another 4 low cores, total 8 cores. This is to optimize heat and temperature depending on phone usage. Also reduce the battery usage, as if you need few processor power you use low 4 cores, and if you are playing a game you use the 8 cores. This is awesome technology. PC manufacturers will be implementing this on future. Samsung is the beast.

An 8 core phone will be awesome but it is not needed and I would consider the new processor that is rumored to be in the next galaxy as a quad core since all 8 cores are not the same. I really wanted to buy a windows phone 8 to play with but after using one at the store, it feel the same as windows phone 7. I'll wait until the OS matures a little more.

                  All u do with ur phone is make calls, browse, FB, use some daily needed apps, and play some good games when bored.
                  single core windows phone does all these or if u really need some HD games then dual core is fine why the hell on earth u need 8 cores ?

                            And the rest of these features, not in WP 7.8. Maybe in 7.9, who knows.

                                Note that nokia is powerful, popular and well known modernised phone, but LG makes much long life time than that of nokia as well as even not modernised since before.

I bet that phone wont last a day on a single charge, even if it has that big-LITTLE architecture. The problem is still in the Os. Thats why i believe what Intel has said about Droids having multiplecores here in gsmarena. :)
