why are many discussion the mhz/ghz here.. my next phone after the N900 needs to be a dual core. if i just look where i wait the most on on my N900 then a few mhz more will not help me..

so many times some application takes to much cpu that for example if the phone rings its very hard to pickup the phone because of lack of cpu cycles.

if i see what the dual core brought me on the desktop, then thats what i want on the phone, programs dont have to really run faster (if it now cost 5 seconds and a faster cpu brings that down to 3 then that still means that everything has to wait 3 seconds which is an eternithy). but ui input should always have cpu cycles for it to handle even if another program is now using a lot...

but the next device wont be a Cortex A9, cant believe that yet. but i guess it will be a sligtly faster A8 and hopefully it will be a omap36x version (45nm)
and then the next device after that one is a dual core A9...
