Android is Not Ready For Quad Core Processors


Android with Intel processorIntel has been known as the biggest chip maker in the world. But when people are talking about mobile processors, everyone will agree that Intel is a little late. Other vendors like Qualcomm, nVidia, Samsung, and Texas Instrument has been around for years making mobile processors. The first Android smartphone “Lava Xolo X900” that powered with Intel’s processor has been launched recently in India.

As the competition in the field grows tighter, those processor vendors are racing to be the best. Sometimes we can see that they are criticizing other’s processors harshly.

Today, we can see some new Android smartphones released with multi core mobile processor. Intel says that Android is not yet ready to fully utilize the power of multi-core mobile processor. It is not effective. That’s why it seems like Intel will not produce any quad-core mobile processors in the near future. At least until Android is ready to fully take the advantage of multi-core processors.

What do you think? Is Intel ready to be left behind once more?
