As the other having a two set of quad-core chips which operate independently according to the intensity of the task. Dividing their task, Four Cortex-A15 cores are activated for heavy-duty operations and remaining four Cortex-A7 cores do less intensive tasks.
Relation and Status of Market as on January 2014
After launching the Intex i17 phone in India in January 2014, the Intex will be the only company to run on the true Octa-core device. Currently, MNC outfit Samsung is the only vendor in India to sell 8-core smartphones, Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3.
