If you have followed the releases made by Nokia lately, then you have noticed that for now the Finnish company refuses to implement dual-core processors in its own smartphones. In Windows Phone it cannot do it because the operating system does not support such processors and in Symbian it did not make the necessary changes to implement them. However, if Nokia does not have multicore processors then probably no one needs them and its CEO, Stephen Elop, says that multicore processors do nothing but unnecessarily consume smartphone batteries.
Nokia's CEO, Stephen Elop, has claimed during an interview with a Chinese newspaper that multicore systems on chips are just wasting precious battery life. In an interview with the Yangcheng Evening News, Elop said "The so-called dual-core, quad-core mobile phones can only waste batteries, but not be useful for consumers all the time". Elop claims that the Lumia 900 has never lost either to the iPhone or to other Android smartphones (not sure whether RIM Blackberry users participated as well) despite rivals sporting chips with two or more cores.
Elop's statements were made in China following the launch of the project Blown away by Lumia which has the role of convincing users that Lumia smartphones with Windows Phone are better than those of the competition. This campaign offers users the opportunity to use their own smartphone in small contests organized by Nokia with their own terminals equipped with Windows Phone. So far, Lumia terminals have not been defeated in tasks that required uploading pictures on social networks or updating statuses on the same networks, but its single core processors are only useful for such tasks.
It is true that quad core processors are intuitive now, but dual-core ones must be implemented to film in 1080p format or to play movies in this format properly, but we must not forget complex games or applications that need processing power. Nokia says that multicore processors are not useful, but unfortunately they have to implement them in their own terminals.
