          Installed Update 1 yesterday without any problems on an 8S with Developer Preview enabled. HTC's decision might not be hardware related at all ...

            Lumia 530 has quad-core architecture A5
            HTC 8S has dual core krait which is like a more energy efficient A16.

            there is no reason for HTC 8S to not receive the update.

            besides, take a look at
            Lumia 920
            Lumia 820
            Lumia 720
            Lumia 620
            Lumia 520

            They are all DUAL CORES. so don't make me laugh

              And half of the lumias have the same specs(except internal) to the HTC 8S and they will be receiving the update so I believe HTC is just screwing the users.
              I already run this update on my Lumia 620 without much issues.
