Meizu: Software update to enable true-octa core on all Exynos 5s
Samsung's
Exynos 5 Octa chipsets available now on the market can't actually
utilize all eight cores at the same time. Both 5410 and 5420 chips can
use either the four Cortex-A7 cores or the four Cortex-A15 at a time.
Samsung has decided to fix this and yesterday the manufacturer announced its latest revision of the Exynos platform will support simultaneous operation of all eight cores.So far, so good. Samsung will deploy this new solution by the end of this year. Yesterday's announcement left us wondering if the current generation Exynos 5 chips can get the extra capabilities as well, since Samsung didn't specify if it required changing anything on architecture level. Well today Meizu, which is the other Exynos-using manufacturer, chipped in and brought some good news.
