*Scratches head* Damn, DT has some of the thickest users I've ever seen who contradict themselves within the same sentence. If the 4S didn't need a dual core processor then Apple wouldn't have included one. If adding a dual core processor "makes a difference" in the things you stated, then by fck, it was needed all along.

It was sarcasm for the OP, duh.

Explain to me why a WP7 single-core phone would need a dual core processor if it's just as fast as a 4S or Android phone?

One reason why wp7 is so fluid is because they made the ui animations so slow. Ars states that as such on their review of the latest wp7 phone - android runs the gui at a higher rate.

It's like saying a Ferrari needs to get a 600 HP engine to match the Mack truck's 600 HP engine even though a Ferrari smokes the Mack truck. The Mack truck needs the 600 HP engine to pull a trailer full of sht. The Android OS is basically a trailer full of

Here's the problem with your analysis. I've already stated how a dual core processor helps with multi-tasking, the ability to and background operations, or stuff like taking fast photos, real time voice to text, something that WP7 didn't do from the outset(does it even do it now, can't remember). Having 2 cores do work at a lower freq is more efficient than a fast single core. It's like saying I'd rather have a good inline 6 cyl engine than a high reving honda s2000 that puts out 240 hp but at such a ridiculous rpm.

Btw, both iOS and wp7 get their smoothness from the gpu, something that was not fully implemented until android version 3.0, and then 4.0 for phones. You or I can spin this anyway you want - it either means both iOS and Wp7 are crap because they need to use both a GPU and CPU just to be useable and Android sucks for not doing that via the GPU but the CPU.
