Can someone please tell me if all these cores on a mobile phone/tablet EVER get exploited? Unless you multi-task like a demon then what's the point!?!
Seriously... as a parallel... I built a budget PC gamer for someone with an (desktop) i3 and you would not know it was not a i5 when gaming, cross my heart!

I can't remember the last time I read such babbling nonsense regarding a comment made about an article in specific.
What does the 3rd sentence have to do with anything? REMOVE! And don't make comments that only you can make sense of please.

Because the i3 has only a single core or 2 cores depending on the model. Jemborg's 3rd sentence has everything to do with the article, yours however, does not.
As for my own comment:
I think it's funny that the article mentions "smartphone buyers in China" as a group. I guess we now know where "they" stand in the Cores vs Threads debate. Lol!

It is indeed because the i3 is a dual core.
Most people would ask for a clarification. Hearme0 gets off on acting the ignorant jerk... it's to be expected.
