On paper it sounds great, but I'm interested in real world perormance. In most circumstances the 3GS outperforms 1Ghz snapdragon phones even though it is ostensibly "slower". ]]>Feb 15th 2010 9:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/st-ericssons-u8500-brings-dual-core-1-2ghz-arm-cortex-a9-to-the/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/st-ericssons-u8500-brings-dual-core-1-2ghz-arm-cortex-a9-to-the/Yes and no the 3gs appears to outperform because it has a dedicated graphics co-processor but as far as straight out cpu performance the snapdragon is much more powerful. But this should just be incredible I want this core in a smartbook! 10 hours of runtime with ubuntu baby the future is bright for arm.]]>Feb 15th 2010 10:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/st-ericssons-u8500-brings-dual-core-1-2ghz-arm-cortex-a9-to-the/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/st-ericssons-u8500-brings-dual-core-1-2ghz-arm-cortex-a9-to-the/Feb 15th 2010 10:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/st-ericssons-u8500-brings-dual-core-1-2ghz-arm-cortex-a9-to-the/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/st-ericssons-u8500-brings-dual-core-1-2ghz-arm-cortex-a9-to-the/
Also the fact that the Nexus one has a much higher resolution and its more about how Android needs to optimize its OS for better graphics.

But multi-core for android would make a game changing improvement for overall smartphone usage.

You mean...the multiprocessing code that's been the default in the Linux kernel forever?

Wow, that must have taken a lot of 'optimization' (my guess is a kernel parameter change and rebuild).
