is it possible to make a Mod that would allow non- dual cores to work similarly to dual core chips ???? if possible it would make stuff faster
not that i'm aware of...unless someone came up with a way similar to hyperthreading...2 threads per core....giving you a virtual dual core
And according to their specs it has a dual core is that true???? http://www.phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=9613
My guess is that it is a mistake born of typing specs for too many android devices.

No dual core, just a better 1.5Ghz processor

dont ya mean same 1.5 ghz processor
thats what I was thinking...
thanks for helping my sanity
This is a hardware question, I have a friend who owns a Desire HD, now he goes on and on about how Single core phones are just as powerful as Dual core phones because, and this is his theory, a Dual core phone that says it is clocked at 1 GHz actually has either core clocked at 500 MHz, whereas the core in a Single core phone is clocked at 1 Ghz flat.
This just honestly seems like a frankly rubbish argument that doesn't make much sense to me, however I want to know if he's right, is there any literature out there that proves either way. Is he right? Or is he just being a boner?

long story short, he is wrong. keep in mind dual core s different from dual processor. the processor of a dual core simply allows 2 instructions to be carried out at onece adding performance to programs that have lots going on at the same time, but is still the same otherwise. They seriously help with multitasking so on android they would really help .

Correct! It allows 2 different "threads" to be computed at the same time. Your friend isn't all wrong though. Any app has to fully support dual threading. If it doesn't you will see the same performance from a 1ghz dual core phone and a 1ghz single core. Also remember the architecture of the CPU is important. In many cases a 1ghz phone may perform better than a 1.2ghz phone.

Well, almost.
Dual core means there are two independent processing units on the same chip. The chip itself operates at 1gigahertz, and that generally applies to anything on that die.
so your friend is wrong, as both cores run at 1 gig, but a lot more factors relate to actual performance.
In most cases, single core will not perform as well as a dual core at the same speed. (assuming they are the same arch)

Some dishonest Chinese sellers will do things like this.
Some places you'll see dual core NEC EV2 based tablets as "1ghz" even though it's two ~500mhz cores.
Other places you'll see a single core device deceitfully advertised as "dual core" as it includes a GPU in addition to the CPU.
They'll then add the GPU and CPU frequencies together and sell a 1.1ghz device as 1.5ghz.
(And don't get me started about seeing "Cortex A10" in the specs)
So long as we're discussing legitimate specifications, your friend is wrong
The most important thing is.... To tell your friend he is totally true.. When he revises his theory somedays later, then listen to him.

It really depends on the apps that you are running. Gingerbread does not fully support dual core processors but the Android (linux) kernel does. So if the apps you are running are written to take advantage of the extra core, they will run faster on a dual core phone. Where it does help to have an extra core is multitasking, with a dual core phone you will be able to smoothly run more apps at one time. But if you benchmark an app that only utilizes one core on both a single core and a dual core phone, the results will not automatically favor the dual core phone.
HI,
im gonna buy a new android phone i have 2 choice but cant take decision between them.
one has qualcomm cortex a5 dual core processor and another has mediatek cortex a9 dual core processor
Which is better?
Thanks in advance.
I would also be interested to know... any suggestions?
Found MT6577 vs MSM8225 assuming MT6577T will perform better!

I really want to port a rom for my old tablet but unlikely it has dual core and not many Samsung devices have dual core chipsets

you can try, if don't work try some tablet with same cpu or same spec
