But the real answer is people make a big deal about it because Samsung makes a big deal about it.
Some people anyway :smokingsomb:

Anybody wants to see how big a fail a high res dsiplay is with 1GB, read the currrent reviews of the always sub-standard Archos and their new 9" tablets.
An overused term, but "epic fail" fits Archos like a custom designed glove.
1 GB of RAM? Only 1 GB of RAM? On a tablet? What the **** were they thinking?
I only have 1 GB of RAM in my phone and I definitely feel it in the form of random lag because of the limited RAM in the phone. I can't imagine how it would feel in a tablet.
This is interesting. My dad's car has the same engine as mine, yet his is 150bhp and mine is 120. The fuel economy is the same but his would use more fuel if he drove it harder and made use of the extra power. Could this be the same with the s4 and HTC? Both have the same processor but the s4 has the potential to use more battery if the tasks are demanding enough?
I just hope they fixed the HDMI out issue the LTE GS3 has. You can not use the HDMI function if the data radios are on. It only works with wifi. If you turn the radios on, the video signal goes in and out every few seconds on the output display. Something to do with the integrated HDMI design and radio interference that impacts the video signal. Nuts.
Curiously speaking, would it make a bigger deal if each app was capable of running a single dedicated core? So 8 cores = 8 dedicated apps running its own core without spill over. I heard Intel was trying to work on muticores that would do this. One being a 48-core beast. But again assigning each app to its own dedicated core.
Now would that matter to an end user if that ever happened? And of course, you would have to wonder about efficiency and battery drain too.
Sorry, I understand it is a dual-quad core. But it is an interesting concept if it was truly an octacore CPU (which it is not).
Right now apps don't exploit the raw processing power of a single core. Now if it was able to would that not be better than having it try to run through multiple cores? I (by all means) am not an expert. It was just an interesting thought I came across.
The key bottleneck issue is usually the memory channel and the stack/register algorithm used to minimize bottlenecks. Case in point is the Tegra 3, since they built a fast engine (chipset) into a car with bald tires (memory channel).
Any bottleneck along the process chain is same result- a bottleneck. The new Sammy chip apparently has to juggle between two quad cores,...
We don't know and I think that's the part that scares some people.Do you think you will be able to notice the moment of switching and treat that as a slow down?

Is it possible to switch the lte radio off and just use 3g? I don't really know how these things work
Interesting statement. Since the two quad cores are there for different situations - processing power vs battery, the moment you start using cpu intensive apps it will use the faster cpu and have no reason to switch until you are done. Do you think you will be able to notice the moment of switching and treat that as a slow down?
