Samsung Galaxy S III to Have Quad-core CPU?

[JMcEntegart]

Over the last couple of weeks, we've seen a big increase in talk of quad-core smartphones. Marching on with this trend is the Samsung Galaxy S III, which will apparently have a quad-core processor under the hood.

There are like 5 apps in the world using Dual-Cores at the moment - we're jumping up to 4 now just to kill batteries faster?

SLOW DOWN

Can't have a phone for 5 seconds without it going out of date these days..

It's not out of date unless it no longer does what you want.

these chips deactivate unused cores and more cores does not mean more power usage. As fabrication get smaller, things become more energy friendly. Atleast nVidia claims Tegra 3 with quad core is more efficient than Tegra 2.

I'd like a 50% thicker phone to accomodate a better battery instead of a new processor that nothing can use.

of course all the high end phone will have quad core in 2012 !!! and i think at least 1gb of ram but if all this things will make a better experince with the phone i don t know ...

I would only get tegra 3 for a quad core phone because it's 5th companion core would keep power usage super low when the phone isn't doing much. If you've got 4 cores on all the time the battery might as well be a lemon with some metal stuck in it

Its true

I'd be happier to read/care about this article if the LTE version of the phone it's supposed to supersede actually does become available... ever. Late Q1 early Q2? Based on how long its taken the Nexus since it's "projected" timeline I would venture to say you won't see the galaxy s 3 until, ummm, Q4 2011/ Q1 2012? Feel free to hold out for this while the Vaporware Nexus prepares for it's debut

 

[uuicked]

Sorry I meant Q4 2012 or Q1 2013 !!

I would rather have a longer battery life than a faster phone. The current phones are already fast enough for me.

I would be a lot more excited if the SGS3 will have the following chip inside (the 128GB version):

Toshiba Internal Flash Module June 2010

plus an internal SD card slot.

Needs MOAR battery life. Also, how does having no physical buttons work? How do you turn the phone on / off?

 

[xerroz]

Bunch of retarded companies. How about instead of making this stuff faster (1 GHZ is more than enough) they develop new batteries? How about a battery that lasts 15 hours with heavy use? That's what everyone needs, not that crap, you don't even need dual core yet they're wasting time making them more "powerful." With Quad core and 4G LTE you won't be getting more than 3 hours with heavy use.

 

[omnimodis78]

Phew, well thank the heavens for my above average sized penis, or else I'd definitely be feeling a bit inferior with my single-core phone

There's still the power button and the volume rocker, just no buttons along the bottom of the phone.

its official : smartphones are more powerful than my current pc lol
