When compared to dual-core processors, quad-core chips should be faster. After all, they do have double the number of cores.
However, it appears that not all of them can actually deliver the expected performance, and the video embedded above proves it.
What you can see there is a device powered by a Texas Instruments OMAP 5 SoC clocked in at 800 MHz, which is compared to a tablet powered by a quad core Cortex A9, clocked in at 1.3GHz.
The OMAP 5 CPU was designed using the 28nm process and features two ARM Cortex A15s and two Cortex M4s, as well as SGX544 MP2 graphics.
In the clip, you will see the two devices downloading videos, playing an MP3, and running through 20 pages of EEMBC's BrowsingBench. Both of them use the Android 4.0 browser to load pages, it seems, but the OMAP 5 tablet completes the action in 95 seconds, while the quad core A9 needs 201 seconds for that.
