Line 81:
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 press release |url= https://www.mediatek.com/news-events/press-releases/mediatek-launches-mt6592-true-octa-core-mobile-platform |title= MediaTek Launches MT6592 True Octa-Core Mobile Platform |date= November 20, 2013 |publisher= MediaTek |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20201029195636/https://www.mediatek.com/news-events/press-releases/mediatek-launches-mt6592-true-octa-core-mobile-platform |archive-date= October 29, 2020 |url-status= dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/what-is/octa-core-processor/ |title= What is an Octa-core processor |publisher= Samsung |quote= Galaxy smartphones run on either Octa-core (2.3GHz Quad + 1.6GHz Quad) or Quad-core (2.15GHz + 1.6GHz Dual) processors |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220117192737/https://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/what-is/octa-core-processor/ |archive-date=January 17, 2022 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
