Which is better processor OCTA or quad?

Primary school mathematics teaches us that eight is greater than four, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that an octa-core CPU is always better than a quad-core. Most people will look for the number of cores in the CPU and how fast they run (frequency) as a proxy for overall performance.

Is quad-core faster than octa-core?

The terms octa-core and quad-core denote the number of processor cores in a CPU. Octa is eight, quad is four. When advanced tasks are needed, however, the faster set of four cores will kick in. A more accurate term than octa-core, then, would be “dual quad-core”.

Is quad-core good for laptop?

It’s also worth noting that laptops with quad-core processors are usually more expensive than laptops with dual-core processors. If you want to play, record and stream games, or work in multiple applications at once, then a quad-core, or higher, laptop will be a worthwhile investment.

What is the difference between octa-core and dual quad-core processors?

When advanced tasks are needed, however, the faster set of four cores will kick in. A more accurate term than octa-core, then, would be “dual quad-core”. But that just sounds confusing, and it’s not nearly so marketable.

Why is 16 GB of RAM not enough?

Simply because the RAM is not fully utilized at a processor speed of only 2.0 GHz. Your processor can only calculate so much and will not cope with the storage your RAM provides. Even if you have 16 GB of RAM, the space of that memory will not be filled up with information due to the speed of your processor.

Should you buy a dual-core or quad-core smartphone in 2015?

No, not necessarily. Apple manages to get decent energy efficiency and performance out of a dual-core setup, after all. The latest news that Qualcomm’s supposed processor of choice for smartphones in 2015 will be a ‘quad-core’ based Snapdragon 820 set up supports this as well.

What is the difference between a processor and a ram?

In terms of their speeds, while a RAM is measured by how big its storage is, the processor is measured by how many cycles per second it can perform.
