Apple’s iPhone and iPhone 3G use the “underclocking” of a more powerful processor, rather than the full clocking of a less powerful processor, to maximize battery life. The power consumed by using a slower processor is more than using the more powerful processor at a lower clock rate. In this application, the ARM 1176 processor is “underclocked” from 620 MHz to 412 MHz.

That being said, multicore processors in phones are not PC’s or notebooks. They work like this:

The ARM11 MPCore synthesizable processor implements the ARM11 microarchitecture and can be configured to contain between one and four processors delivering up to an aggregate 2600 Dhrystone MIPS of performance. (From arm’s website)

So essentially it wouldn’t be a “Quad core” chip, but 4 ARM-MP chips configured together.

That would be my number one request, I’ve made hundreds of ringtones over the years – mostly film/tv excerpts, and I love using them on my Nokia mobiles. Excellent suggestions all round actually Tomasz.

I thought it was weird they even mentioned it until she pulled out what looked like an iphone. the back was covered with a leather protector so i cant be positive but looked exactly like it from the front. perhaps hinting at the next iphone with 5 MP camera?</p> The last episode of Life on NBC (aired 3-25-2009) had a detective that was asked if her phone had a camera. she said yes and that it was 5 megapixels.

They will be basing this new iphone off of the new macbook pro.. lithium polymer.. battery will last about the same with a quadcore.. dual core.. will be unbelievable with the new battery apple is using... come on people.. you are questioning the people that created the worlds most powerful laptop... while keeping it the most energy efficient... stop questioning.. start waiting.. they listen to the wishes you greedy people have and they try to perfect it. if you can do it better than apple... i'll pay for your version of the iphone when you come out with it if you can prove better... they have quickly brought ATT into a signal crisis because so many people switched to and bought an iphone.. leave em be... it'll always be a surprise.</p> ok well quad core wouldn’t be a power problem in iphone..
