Hey all,
This phone is going to be release sometime this summer (or end of). This is the latest: 4 reasons why the Moto X will live up to the hype | Android and Me
Seemingly, it will be powered by Qualcomm S4 PRO processor, which was the top processor (for Android) in 2012. It is rather outdated at this time. But near the end of the article, I am confused by the description of the cores of the chip.
" There are actually going to be eight different “cores” making the Moto X a contextually aware information powerhouse.
They break down like this:
•Four processors cores are dedicated to graphics. By taking this route, you’re going to see Android running smoother than ever before. Paired with stock Android, this thing is going to fly in the graphics department.
•Two processors cores are dedicated to applications. Let the graphics processors focus on graphics, while two 1.7 GHz processors focus on apps.
•One processor will be dedicated to language processing. The low-power language chip will focus on audio sensors, noise cancellation and speech recognition. This will allow the Moto X to use an always-on listening mode, but still retain sufficient battery life.
•One processor will be dedicated to other contextual sensors. During his interview at All Things D11, Dennis Woodside said the Moto X would “anticipate” what you want to do with your phone. Hold it up like you’re going to take a picture, your camera will turn on. That’s what this processor is for."
-----------------------------------------------------------------
S4 PRO has 4 cores I think. Adreno 320 is the GPU. I have never heard anything about S4 PRO having 8 cores. Does this mean that it will have TWO S4 PRO chips in one phone?
Anyone have info on this?
Thanks in advance.
