Is a processor with more GHz better?

Clock speed is measured in GHz (gigahertz), a higher number means a faster clock speed. To run your apps, your CPU must continually complete calculations, if you have a higher clock speed, you can compute these calculations quicker and applications will run faster and smoother as a result of this.

Which Core is best for mobile?

The Snapdragon 865 takes up the top spot for Android-based smartphones and in multi-core workloads, the chipset has performed on par with the Apple A13 SoC.

Are cores or GHz more important?

If you’re just looking for a computer to get basic tasks done efficiently, a dual-core processor will probably work for your needs. For CPU intensive computing like video editing or gaming, you’ll want a higher clock speed close to 4.0 GHz, while basic computing needs don’t require such an advanced clock speed.

What is the single core speed of an octa core processor?

So 1.2Ghz octa core will have a little low single core speed than 1.5Ghz and 1.7Ghz (1.7>1.5) and (1.5>1.2) but has high multi core speed as it has 8 cores. In multi tasking 8 processes can run at same time.

Do you prefer quad core processors or dual core processors?

But I would still prefer a 2.x GHz quad core processor over a 1.x GHz because of it being a more balanced option. Processor get better at single threaded performance every year so a latest dual core would have on par performance as a quad core from two or more generation before it.

What is the difference between quad core and octa core?

So 1.5Ghz quad core will have a little low single core speed than 1.7Ghz (1.7>1.5) dual core but has high multi core speed as it has 4 cores. In multi tasking 4 processes can run at same time. So 1.2Ghz octa core will have a little low single core speed than 1.5Ghz and 1.7

Should you buy a dual-core or quad-core smartphone in 2015?

No, not necessarily. Apple manages to get decent energy efficiency and performance out of a dual-core setup, after all. The latest news that Qualcomm’s supposed processor of choice for smartphones in 2015 will be a ‘quad-core’ based Snapdragon 820 set up supports this as well.
