Lava Xolo A500S

Well Motorola did use the i branding for the sole Intel based device they launched in the US market

they have even degraded X800 though from their 1st launch, coming with a inferior chip now, to reduce the prices. What was Intel expecting from the Indian Lava, any different

  Hardly a downgrade. Unnoticablelittle difference in benchmarks between new MT6589W-M against old MT6589 ...

Samsung did the same with Galaxy S II in the Indian market. The point is not restricted to just performance... S2 owners with a different processor found out that their devices were not supported by CyanogenMod.

Lava's Xolo intel variants are big flop. All of them are single cores.

 

[Sushubh]

so you are going to compare the performance of arm and intel processors based on the number of cores they have? really?

 

[DNA_Uncut]

I mean to say intel still not even launched a dual core chip when you see quads,octas from other chips manufaturers ...

 

[Sushubh]

No of cores does not matter if the software is not designed to benefit from them. A single core processor should easily be able to outperform multi-core processor on a platform like Android which is still not properly optimized to benefit from multi-core processors.
And not only Android OS itself... Apps have to be optimized to gain from the multiple cores on the device. From what I have read, it is still not easy for apps to gain from multiple cores.

 

[DNA_Uncut]

I beg to differ. Cores do matters even if it's any platform andriod, linux, windows, watevr ...

 

[Sushubh]

hehe. not really. the quality of the chip and software optimization matter more mediatek has quad core processors which would struggle to compete against the dual core chips from qualcomm and nvidia. amd 8 core processors would struggle to compete against quad core intel core processors.

 

[DNA_Uncut]

Not the brand image decides the quality. mediatek is the first one to release true octa SOC. Which already outperforms the highly boasting Qualcomm 800 in benchmarks. Evn sammy's Exynos has dual quad on S4 not true octa yet ...
