The number of cores that more is not always better , at least that's the opinion Anand Chandrasekher , Senior Vice President of Qualcomm , the second largest microprocessor manufacturers in the world .
Furthermore , Chandrasekher said that the 8 - core processor is a " stupid " . " You can not just take eight a lawn mower and claim to have the Ferrari 8 - cylinder engine , " he said while talking to media sharply Taiwan last week , as quoted by PC World .
Chandrasekher respond to questions about the possibility of the company making the gadget processor with 8 - core , a product which is also known as " octa -core " .
Some time ago , MediaTek , another processor manufacturer based in Taiwan , has announced the 8 - core mobile processors first . MediaTek claims that the eight- core processor capable of running simultaneously has higher performance than similar products from competitors .
According to Chandrasekher , its focus is not the pursuit of the highest possible performance , but rather on providing a great experience for users .
The things that must be considered to achieve this goal is a good modem , long battery life , and affordable price . He added , simply increasing the number of processor cores as much as possible the same as sakedar try .
" We are not stupid "
Then, if Qualcomm will release octa - core processors in the future ? " We do not do stupid things like that , " said Chandrasekher .
" When you can not make products that meet consumer needs , maybe you 'll try to fill the processor with a processing core as much as possible , " he continued . " That's a stupid way to do it and I think our engineers are not stupid . "
Responding to the comment Chandrasekher , Mediatek said that the 8 - core processor is just one of a number of technological breakthroughs and other innovations from the company . MediaTek claims to have a closer relationship with the market and because it is able to release products that meet consumer needs .
" ( The processor ) has the ability to multi - tasking very well and will improve the user experience in using the application , " MediaTek wrote in an e - mail .
8 - core processor of the company is scheduled to launch in the 4th quarter of 2013. The product has a difference of 8 - core processor Exynos 5 previous sort of Samsung , which is capable of running all the cores are held simultaneously.
MediaTek and Qualcomm processors compete for market share in the segment of mobile high-end and low-end . Qualcomm Snapdragon rely on his product line , among others, used in HTC , Samsung Galaxy S4 , and the new Nexus 7 tablet . In the meantime , MediaTek processors used by Acer , Lenovo , and Xiaomi brand from China .
