Line 79:
The composition and balance of the cores in multi-core architecture show great variety. Some architectures use one core design repeated consistently ("homogeneous"), while others use a mixture of different cores, each optimized for a different, "[[heterogeneous computing|heterogeneous]]" role.
How multiple cores are implemented and integrated significantly affects both the developer's programming skills and the consumer's expectations of apps and interactivity versus the device.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.gizbot.com/mobile/features/these-5-myths-about-the-octa-core-phones-are-actually-true-034569.html |website= Giz Bot |first= Chakri |last= Kudikala |date= Aug 27, 2016 |title= These 5 Myths About the Octa-Core Phones Are Actually True }}</ref> A device advertised as being octa-core will only have independent cores if advertised as ''True Octa-core'', or similar styling, as opposed to being merely two sets of quad-cores each with fixed clock speeds.<ref>{{cite
