 |
|
All smart phones have processors, also known as CPUs. Processors act very much like our brains do in that they allow data to be processed and moved so that the device can perform tasks, such as loading up an application or running a game – everything the phone does is computed by the CPU (and also potentially the GPU in the example of games but we will ignore that for now).
The processor itself is a chipset. Examples of popular mobile processors are Qualcomm’s Snapdragon QSD8250 and Samsung’s Hummingbird chipsets – both of which range around 1GHz in processing speed.
The difference between the above, however, and the new line of dual-core processors is that dual-core processors have two processors (including their caches and cache controllers) located on one integrated chip – i.e. two processors on one die, hence the word "dual".
