      AnonD-32667, 19 Oct 2013useless until app developers utilize 8 cores.In fact many apps dont uses more than 2 cores, anything beyond 4 cores is a waste

            mobiles with 8 cores...... will run in the hands of human with one core...
            this is why alien dont talk to us.

              Well,will the phone last more than 4 hours on its own battery and will it have the play store on the phone? The phone with no brand? I do doubt that their phone has true octa core @-@. Will it even come out into the real world? I guess not.lol..story seems so fake if it is especially from China. No offence though.

                The worst part is this chipset's per-core+per-clockspeed processing power is HALF that of the s600. It's a very inefficient chip, and the s600chipset is only a $20 part! Most of the costcutting is happening at the screen and some nickeldiming with cheap(slow) memory.

                That said, many of these are still priced cheap enough to be alright..but certainly not because of this CPU.

                  Companies like Samsung started all this, by trying to release future proof phones, only for Google and themselves and others to bloat up Android in order to give a reason why people should pay high prices for plastic smartphones.

                                      Single Core Performance still matters. Cortex-A7 - 8 cores shouldnt be able to deliver a Dual Core- Cortex A15, in almost all day-to-day uses.

                                        What's the point? Software, both the OS and 3rd party, obviously isn't optimized even for dual-cores. My LG 4X spends more time as a single 1.5GHz than 4-core device.
