I thought tegra 3 is suppose to have 4 core and one core for power saving...but how home I see from system tuner...only core 0-3...only 4 core...not five core
This is quad core but uses three and then another. Not four then one.

actually it has 5 cores
but the companion core is not visible as a separate one to the system. So if this core is active it will also show up as core 0

No bu11shjt at all. Nvidia really put 5 cores inside. Its them CPU utilities that are lying to you, due to developers being lazy a88es that they are, they don't put enough intelligence in their codes to distinguish among all the different chips.

all apps use the general interface of linux and this is
not different for tegra3 chips - therefore it will always report 4 cores
I bet my last dollar that someone can develop a CPU app that can show the status of all 5-cores on a tegra 3 phone.
They need to stop relying on a "general" Linux library and develop a real Linux module. Again, its due to laziness, nothing else.

I am not familiar with android os, so i wanted to ask people who have some knowledge behind it a question.
What do you see improving with the thunderbolt when gingerbread gets released?
Do you think the thunderbolt will be able to improve its chances to still stand out against the dual-core phones with the help of 2.3?
I love my thunderbolt, it is my very first Android OS device and i am glad to be an early adopter of the 4g LTE network, i do personally feel that i put myself in a rough position because i chose a phone with a single core. Should i feel this way?
Thanks XDA, i've spent so many hours learning about phones in general on this board. it is my new home!
No, single core is great.
1. Apps must be written to utilize dual core (the thunderbolt can be overclocked to 2ghz, which is much faster than needed)
2. Any phone you buy will be outdated in terms of current technology within 6 months. (Don't compare to other technology. Compare to apps you want to run. There are no foreseeable apps the thunderbolt can't run well)
Imho, dual core is currently just a gimmick to attract buyers and I don't think it will be necessary to own one for about 2 years.
I've used the attic, compared to thunderbolt you can't even notice a speed difference.
As for the usual bionic/thunderbolt debate. I believe the Ram is more important then dual core ATM. And if the bionic really only has 512, the thunderbolt will do perfectly fine stacked against it.

i've played with an Atrix before the TB came out. The dual core did nothing for it. My TB is noticeably faster than the Atrix was. Plus ATT 4G service is a joke.
As far as differences between 22 and 23, check this out:
http://www.differencebetween.com/difference-between-android-2-2-froyo-and-android-2-3-gingerbread/
Probably not alot to to write home about, but i def like the gingerbread keyboard over the froyo keyboard.
Ive never seen a dual core referred to as the speed of the 2 cores added. Every dual core I've heard of refers to the speed of the individual processors. ie, all the new ones (tegra 2, exynos, evo 3d snapdragon) have 2 cores each at 1 ghz
Leading to the equation:
2 x 1 ghz cores != 1 x 2 ghz core != 2 x 500 mhz cores
You have nothing to worry about. The snapdragon CPU is second generation with great performance and low power, and It's coupled with adreno 205 graphics which is very capable. Your phone with be high end for easily 1.5 years matching the other phones out there. I'm not too worried about dual core CPU's yet because no software is taking advantage of it yet. And android OS won't be updated to utilize dual core till version 2.4. So you have nothing to worry about.
Hell my nexus one I still find top notch in my opinion.

Totally agree Roger. The real problem with dual core is Android software is not written to take full advantage of both cores. This was evident when I had a chance to play with my friends LG Optimus 2X. FPS was fantastic on nenamark averaging just below 80. All games in the Tegra zone played great. However, when it came to day to day stuff it lagged. For example, sometimes it took two swipes for the screen to register a touch. Web pages with heavy flash had awful load times.

And while applications might not be specifically written for dual core, the OS is. That alone provides some improvement.
But whatever. Our processor will be fine for quite some time.

Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
As for the OP, I don't think enough improvements from 2.2-2.3 are going to be done to make it the same as an optimized dual core. Also, I don't think stock HTC Sense 2.3 will have much of a visual difference than stock 2.2 Sense. Once the 2.3 update comes out, I'll probably still stick with a custom ROM that is 2.2 until the 2.3 custom ROM's come out.
What I hope that HTC fixes is the GPS issues. The "fix" that is in the development forum (turning off Google Location Services) has worked wonders for me, but I'm hoping HTC just fixes it in a firmware or software update sometime in the future.

Exactly, remember we had 3.0+ GHz pentium 4s almost 10 years ago! So there are lot of other things that affect the performance apart from the speed. 1.5Ghz doesn't mean much by itself. That's one reason why apple doesn't advertise processor speeds with iphones and ipads but processor models/families.
I think mainly it has to do with the architecture of the cpu, in which they are totally different. Another thing to consider is the software, most pc apps are compiled to run natively, where as android in a sense has an emulator where it is compiling the code on the fly (the dalvik engine, which is Google's way of getting around licensing to oracle) so that is going to take "longer" to process when running apps.

First off I would like to say I love my DNA from a hardware point of view. Everything about this phone's hardware is awesome. Secondly I don't mind sense. The problem comes in when Verizon gets in involved. With this being a Verizon only device Verizon has almost complete control. I want an unlock able bootloader and SD card slot, Google wallet and the other features Verizon left out form the J Butterfly. Because of this I may, still a possibility, sell this phone for either the M7 or the Samsung s4 depending on their specs. The main reason is these phones will be multi carrier devices with much more likely hood to receive updates and dev... Otherwise the DNA would be a perfect phone.

No, you're not allowed. you must continue to use the DNA
Seriously, though, being "locked down" is a pretty lame reason considering you'll likely still face that. And, if you don't switch carriers, you likely won't get wallet either.
And outside of probably having more storage, what do those phones have that the DNA doesn't? M7 is downgrade from DNA imo.
I cam from the Razr Maxx so this phone is amazing in comparsion. I do miss the battery life but i can still so far get through a day no problem. Now the storage is where i want to jump ship.

No, how it works is that there are 4 super powerful cores and 4 low power cores. When it is not under stress it uses the low power cores but when it needs power it goes to the powerful cores. It actually offers up to 70% savings on batteries.

Again, its not 8 core in the fact that 8 full power cores are running, there are 4 high power/performance cores to do intensive tasks, then there are 4 low power cores which save lots of energy compared to current quad core processors. These 4 cores are what are used most of the time, they will handle simple tasks. Here's a good quote.
"Something like mapping data would be handled by the "little" processor, while graphic-intensive gaming would switch over to the "big" guys."
So what this means for the end user is higher performance for tasks that need it, but overall lower power consumption and better battery life. That isn't propaganda or a guess, it is a fact.

This is going to be a complicated configuration, will be interesting to see how it performs when it's released. I can only imagine the mpdecision and governor complications when we start introducing switching from slower processors to faster processors mid thread.
The reality is, when I use applications like "maps", most of the time 3 of the 4 cores are totally offline, and the core in use is ramping as needed. I can't yet dispute the benefits of running said application on a slower CPU, but it seems pretty counter-intuitive to the "go fast and sleep" mentality that has been a pillar behind cpu power improvements for years and years.
Time will tell.
One thing is for sure, we can hardly state "facts" when the item doesn't even exist yet. Until then, it absolutely is "speculation" and/or "a guess".
I'm not sure where everyone is hearing that Verizon is getting the M7 on launch. Last I heard, this is T-Mobile, AT&T, and Sprint on launch.
There is an app on the play store that emulates Motorola's new active notifications now I know that the reason that works is because of the amoled screen. Does anyone know if the same level of battery efficiency will work with our screens as on the motoX? It works well and is really cool but I keeps the screen on.

Does anyone know if the same level of battery efficiency will work with our screens as on the motoX? It works well and is really cool but I keeps the screen on.

Yea I am using it on my Verizon Note 2 running Paranoid Android 3.96 and the battery consumption is very low if not any more than a usual app and is updated everyday or two...I am running it on a 4.3 rom so I don't know how it is on 4.1 and 4.2 roms as the developer just released it for 4.1 and 4.2 roms

we have a very similar screen 720p non pentile amoled. we should get similar results.

I was thinking about it and some of those x8 processors might do something. Not sure. Cool app nonetheless.

Well they're listed as being used for 'contextual awareness' and'natural language' so maybe the contextual processor has something to do with it. this all depends though on how those processors operate on a firmware level. big difference if they are simply nonconputing but aware cores used to activate the main application processors like most sensor processors or they actually run specific software actions like Motorola seems to be alluding to with the nomenclature.
I would suggest running a hotplug governor to produce a similar effect.

What rom would have a governor like that?

almost every kernel that allows customization has some type of hotplug governor, although they don't always call it that. Hotplug simply means it only (should) turn on cores when they are needed. theoretically, that means your phone should only be running one core to display the active notifications. do your research on whatever kernel peaks your interest and try it out.
