Isn't it big.LITTLE? 4 A15 and 4 A7 cores non-concurrent isn't 8 a 8 core chip, the same that Tegra3 isn't a concurrent 5 core chip.

Correct.

IT'S NOT EIGHT CORES.

It's four cores that can be switched to low-power versions of the core when not under load. It's still more powerful at peak than previous phone chips but it can't use eight cores simultaneously.


Right. I've seen big.LITTLE promoted as moar coars like this somewhere before.

Still, they'd likely see better real world results using the big.LITTLE spec with two powerful cores instead of four.
