One of them refers precisely to the fact that it could be one of the first devices to incorporate the powerful Snapdragon 800 but, according to the latest news, it seems that LG You may have opted for a self-made processor that, like the Samsung's Exynos 5 Octa, it will use ARM's big.LITTLE architecture for more efficient consumption.
It looks like competition in the mobile processor sector is going to be stronger than ever this year. Although in the CES de Las Vegas We already had the opportunity to learn about some of the great assets with which the great companies will compete in the coming months, we still have a few surprises to discover.

As reported Android Authority, LG I could follow the path started by Samsung with its 5 Exynos Octa and build your own processor 8 nuclei using ARM's big.LITTLE architecture. Thus, the processor would have 4 cores A15 for higher performance tasks and other 4 cores A7 for the less demanding. The combination would allow optimize consumption, preventing more energy from being used than is necessary for each activity.
This new processor LG It would begin to be included in devices at the end of this year and one of the first to incorporate it, according to the same leak, would be the Optimus G2 which, indeed, is not expected to hit the market until after the summer.
