At this year's IIC China exhibition, Bao Shanquan, the product director of Qualcomm, believed that the four cores had reached the top, and disclosed that a major mobile phone manufacturer had originally planned to adopt ARM's big and small core solutions, that is, the eight core chips of the four big (A15) and four small (A7) chips. However, he gave up and chose Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800. Although Bao Shanquan, the product director of Qualcomm, did not mention who the manufacturer was, according to recent news, the manufacturer basically implied Samsung.
Bao Shanquan analyzed that the reasons for abandoning large and small cores are: first, the power consumption of large cores is too high; Second, the cooperation of large and small cores still needs system coordination, but at present, Google, including Google, has not done in-depth development, and there is no corresponding application, especially games. If there is no game, the company developing the operating system will not put too much effort on deepening it.
