[Q] DROID 3 really supports DualCore?

---

Hello everybody!

I want to buy a Milestone 3 (actual DROID 3 outside U.S), but this smartphone have a DualCore. My doubt is: Gingerbread's Milestone 3 will use a full power of OMAP DualCore 1ghz? Or not, the Milestone 3 will use only one core? Because Gingerbread not support multicore (only 3.0+), right?

Thanks!

What? It has dualcore and it supports it. Whether it's used properly by android is another question....

I know that android accepted dualcore a long time ago. But just like to know if I'll take advantage of dual core with Gingerbread, or if there some optimization of the system for the OMAP DualCore of DROID3.

Yes, it can use both cores

But only source of Honeycomb and Ice Cream Sandwich have a Multicore support, right?
The Android Page said this: Honeycomb is a first platform Android optmized for Multicore proc.

http://developer.android.com/sdk/and...html#multicore

I very confused about it. So, Gingerbread's Milestone 3/DROID3 work with multicore too? How?

Mas apenas o source do Honeycomb e o Ice Cream Sandwich tem o suporte ao Multicore, certo?

Na página do Android diz o seguinte: Honeycomb é a primeira plataforma Android otimizada para processadores Multicore.

Eu estou muito confuso sobre isso. Então, o Gingerbread do Milestone 3/DROID3 trabalha com o multicore também?

I guess it's just better with ICS

it probably got support at kernel side after HC got it shoudnt be to dificult to port if you own the source code

I'm pretty sure GB supports multicore processors, just doesn't utilize them as well as ICS does.

I'm no dev, but I can "feel" the difference between Droid 2 and 3 (I have both). Droid 3 is snappier than Droid 2, and the main difference between both is the dual core processor. Droid 3 should be slower, since it has a bigger resolution, but it's not. So I assume it's using both cores

Thanks for the translation! But I understand english pretty well, so this is not needed =]
