Buying a computer isn't an easy piece of work. You spend hours to weeks (depending on how detail oriented you are) on trying to find the right machine that works for your budget and needs. As with most of us, a few years later when we're ready to replace the machine, everything has changed.
One of the biggest changes we saw was a move from Pentium to the Core architecture (Intel). A lot of people were confused with the technology shift. Core Solo, Core 2 Solo, Core Duo, Core 2 Duo etc. A lot of words, often confusing. Basically, think of a core as an engine. Double (or triple or quad) them up and it's like having a bunch of engines inline. A significant improvement in power. There was a significant performance different when the number of cores doubled.
Fast forward to today and that same shift in technology is coming to smartphones. BGR reported last week that LG just revealed the first dual core smartphone.
I'm excited to see how the operating systems will take advantage of this leap in technology. We're just a quad core processor (4 cores) and an improvement in low power good brightness display technology from seeing super computers in our palms.
