Intel: Multi-core processors are not good for Android

Why does your Android smartphone clearly have a dual-core processor, but sometimes it's not as fast as you expect? According to foreign media reports, one of Intel's test results shows that Android is not fully supported. The preparation of multi-core processors, and when there are more than one processor core, is detrimental to mobile phone performance.

Intel said that most Android devices with dual-core processors fail to take advantage of the Android operating system to show the performance of the operating system. Mike Bell, general manager of Intel Mobile Communications Group, said that the thread scheduling of Android has not yet prepared for multi-core processors. In fact, carrying multi-core processors is harmful to Android phones. In addition, Mike Bell said that Intel's test results show that multi-core processors run slower than single-core processors, and adding a core will lower the power threshold, so adding a second core has no benefit.

Bell said that mobile phones with multi-core processors are sometimes feasible, such as when power management is not a problem, and the operating system has a good enough thread scheduling. However, Android has clearly not reached such a state, when the operating system handles a single task, many other things have to stop.
