Having already Samsung also Huawei have announced their own 8-core processors in the ARM big.LITTLE design, LG also operates according to recent information from Korea on a dedicated processor for the upcoming LG Optimus G2. Basically, all the processors are different manufacturers, because the platform is from ARM. Nevertheless, there may be minor changes to the design, which can optimize the individual companies.

In the 8-core processor in the design big.LITTLE two Quad-core processors are used. It is up to 1.2 GHz takes faster Cortex-A7 processor lighter duties and then where necessary assisted by a fast, clocked at up to 1.8 GHz Cortex-A15 processor. This collaboration will provide significant energy savings, but must also work properly. If the Cortex-A15 that is too much work, fizzles the advantage over a conventional processor, which supports any other energy saving measures. In the case of current processors big.LITTLE never work all eight cores together at the same time.

LG wants to go with their own 8-core processor now in mass production, and this will probably block next Optimus G2. Expect the Smartlet but only in the 3rd Quarter of 2013, thus LG remains enough time in order to optimize the processor for use in a mobile terminal. The new processor will then compete against the Snapdragon 600 and 800, which even in the LG 5.5-inch Optimus Pro G uses.
