More Cores vs Higher Clock Speed For Mobile Devices

[cartossin]

--continued-- We can make single core chips with more performance per clock, but in the age where intel can put 700m transistors on a die, it becomes harder to push serial instruction performance with one core. The logical choice is to make multicore processors. There is no choice between single core and multicore. We have pushed single core as far as it can be pushed (at moore's law rates anyway, slower advances allow it to edge up as well)

@cartossin Interesting. I knew there had to be a good reason why all the big manufacturers were pushing dual-core chips but it's good to have some idea about what that reason is.

[cartossin]

As processors advance, one thing has remained constant. Transistor count goes up. A core2duo (conroe) is not faster than a prescott pentium 4 simply because it has 2 cores. Each core is considerably faster per clock. Clock rate has basically stopped going up. Over the next 10 years, we might see consumer chips to to 6ghz (as very high end powerpcs are there now), but this will not be where the performance comes from. --continued

Great video man!

It really depends how well programs are multithreaded. Programs dont really run faster on dual cores if they arent multithreaded properly or all.

Ur super smart this is super cool

I prefer more cores as i think that it is better for multi tasking or when you are using the most powerful highly threaded extreme software! high clock speeds are only good for having low cpu usage on games witch are power hungry but have only a few thread. i rather have more cores and O.C.

[nraithatha1995]

you should use windows more tom

Whats your opinion on the AMD Bulldozer cpu's?

[nraithatha1995]

@skeligandrew Epic, that bulldozer is going to crush sandy bridge and resurrect the fx brand! AMD forever! by the way bulldozer is not a cpu! it is a architecture for the FX CPU
