Although absolutely everyone was expecting Nokia to provide a dual-core gadget right after the organization launched the first two Lumia series phones, back in October 2011, it looks like the Lumia 900 functions a comparable 1.4 GHz single core processor produced by Qualcomm.
The initial thing that Nokia/Microsoft officials highlighted when they announced the Lumia 900 was the reality that the one.4 GHz Qualcomm APQ8055 Snapdragon processor is a lot more than enough to run any application put in on the smartphone.
3 weeks soon after the official announcement Nokia approached Qualcomm’s Senior Vice President Rob Chandhok for much more particulars on Lumia 900 processor and chipset.
Consumers who have waited for Nokia Lumia 900 in the hope that this will be equipped with a dual-core CPU may be disappointed now, but Mr. Chandhok claims that the processor developed for Lumia 900 has a really broad variety.
This signifies that the processor is really effective when customers want to slowly kind a message, or when they need to have to swiftly browse a certain website with rich subject material, or view a video on the Net.
“What we did in our architecture of the processors in the chip we are talking about is focus on the overall performance of the CPU (central processing unit) relative to energy and we also concentrate on becoming ready to dial that up and down extremely efficiently so that we didn’t have to have architectures wherever you have a big and tiny core.
“It’s like the variation between acquiring an engine that has a broad range and a single that doesn’t have a broad range,” mentioned Rob Chandhok.
Qualcomm’s official also explains that dual-core CPUs are not twice as quickly, rather some the cores are employed when the software package runs in parallel. It also highlights the simple fact that most of the software “presents a single thread of workload.”
In addition, Qualcomm’s chipset is completely suitable for multitasking, Chandok claims. According to him, when customers are scrolling in the web browser the phone makes use of the graphics processing unit (GPU) rather of the CPU.
“So we take advantage of every bit of processing energy we have. And also programming on the most effective algorithm possible,” extra Chandok.
