I'm sorry but 8 cores is absolutely unnecessary. I have the Galaxy SIII (the gimped US version with a dual core) and whilst it may be kind slow and laggy (which has more to do with the android OS then anything else) it is for the most part, just fine.

If you get an efficient OS (like windows 8) then 2-4 cores is all you should ever need.

Funny. Your GS3 is more powerful than my Galaxy Nexus. Yet my phone is anything but slow and laggy. Hint: its not android but the crap samsung adds.... buy Nexus.

Yeah you're probably right. It's not too bad; just kind of annoying. Especially since my last phone had a single core 1 GHz processor and a quarter of the ram that the SIII has and it was much smoother performance wise (not to mention all of the high end games I've played on both had about the same graphics).

So as far as I can tell an optomized dual core phone is all the power you would really ever need.
