Moto x-:Let’s talk about the hardware inside.
Inside the Moto X is a computing system that
Motorola has branded the X8 Mobile
Computing system with 8 “cores.” Motorola
was careful to make the distinction that X8 is
not a system on chip, for that there’s a 1.7
GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro
(MSM8960Pro) with dual core Krait 300 CPUs
and Adreno 320 graphics. Motorola counts the
2 CPU cores, 4 Adreno 320 GPU cores (yes,
there are 4 cores in Adreno 320, which
Motorola made public), and then adds two
more to the fray – a NLP (Natural Language
Processing) core, and Contextual Computing
core. These add up to a total of 8 “cores” for
those keeping count. I’m putting cores in
quotes here since it’s meaningless to count
heterogeneous, completely different cores like
they’re something you can sum up and say
more of means better. Nevertheless, Motorola
makes the case that the X8 is an octacore
system.
