Unless you specifically design applications and an OS to use multiple cores then it's a waste of time, energy, money and CPU cycles.
Furthermore, if it was dual core, why is it still running slower than hummingbird?? Anyone?]]>Aug 3rd 2010 10:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-glacier-leaks-out-in-glbenchmark-database-boasts-really-hig/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-glacier-leaks-out-in-glbenchmark-database-boasts-really-hig/

How can you know that Android will not support dual core?

I heard that Android 3.0 will release at the end of the year. It seems that you have some details on Android 3.0 so could you give us some information.]]>Aug 3rd 2010 10:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-glacier-leaks-out-in-glbenchmark-database-boasts-really-hig/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-glacier-leaks-out-in-glbenchmark-database-boasts-really-hig/Aug 3rd 2010 10:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-glacier-leaks-out-in-glbenchmark-database-boasts-really-hig/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-glacier-leaks-out-in-glbenchmark-database-boasts-really-hig/Aug 3rd 2010 10:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-glacier-leaks-out-in-glbenchmark-database-boasts-really-hig/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-glacier-leaks-out-in-glbenchmark-database-boasts-really-hig/Read what I said again please FFS. I said AT THIS POINT IN TIME!
If the device is already running android-- which it does
Is already in a benchmarkable state--- which it is

Then how is it going to be running 3.0 at release??
Any takers on this question?

If Qualcomm only began sampling the dual core processors to customers earlier this year then there is no way it's gonna be going mainstream less than 6 months later. Not a snowball's chance in hell. If anything this'll be a smaller 45nm process running at slightly higher clock before it's dual core.

And the GPU is pretty lacklustre I agree.]]>Aug 3rd 2010 10:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-glacier-leaks-out-in-glbenchmark-database-boasts-really-hig/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-glacier-leaks-out-in-glbenchmark-database-boasts-really-hig/Go to the link for me please and look at what that "statistic is specifically testing and tell me if that says anything about GPU, go on.... please. ]]>Aug 3rd 2010 10:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-glacier-leaks-out-in-glbenchmark-database-boasts-really-hig/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-glacier-leaks-out-in-glbenchmark-database-boasts-really-hig/
damn when i read the title, i was hoping it would be a WP7 phone, since HTC really hasn't said anything about their launch devices to be honest. But knowing that its openGL based, points more to android. If i remember correctly, WP7 as a platform isn't doing openGL but is instead sticking with DirectX]]>Aug 3rd 2010 10:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-glacier-leaks-out-in-glbenchmark-database-boasts-really-hig/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-glacier-leaks-out-in-glbenchmark-database-boasts-really-hig/
Exactly, I agree with you, if it was dual core, it would have killed everything.]]>Aug 3rd 2010 11:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-glacier-leaks-out-in-glbenchmark-database-boasts-really-hig/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-glacier-leaks-out-in-glbenchmark-database-boasts-really-hig/I know my processor and benchmark stuff :-)]]>Aug 3rd 2010 11:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-glacier-leaks-out-in-glbenchmark-database-boasts-really-hig/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/htc-glacier-leaks-out-in-glbenchmark-database-boasts-really-hig/I boycotted twitter, try again d0uche

Ok, what about this post I am typing right now, from the Motorola Droid, A STOCK android phone, and you're crazy to think Android is uglier than WinMo, I know you're a WinMo fanboy, i guess you haven't heard of HTC Sense for the HD2 I guess? 6.5.3 is the ugliest OS I've ever seen.

However, since it is a *rendering* benchmark, the bulk of the processing is in the GPU pipeline. For reference, look at the Apple iPad vs the Samsung Galaxy S.
