If you are planning to buy a new phone and want to know about the

processor or you want to buy a fast processing phone, then this
article is just the place to enlighten yourself.

What are processors?
Basically, phone processors are like the CPU of a smartphone. They
are integrated on a small silicon wafer and are used for running your

phone applications. Moreover, they control the movement of data.

Structure:
There are a few factors which you have to look out for in processors,
and its architecture shows its ability. Most chips are made by ARM
(Advanced Risc Machines). They have different generation chips, but

most advanced chips are fourth generation Cortex chips. Some of
the latest chips are Cortex A78, Cortex A53.

Core:
It shows the number of processing units. Dual core (2 units), quad

core(4 units), hexa core (6units), and octa core (8units). Furthermore,
the size of chips matters for its functioning. Smaller the chip, the
faster the processor. Some companies like Snapdragon, Qualcom

Snapdragon, Exynos (Samsung) and Apple manufacture processors.

Frequency:

Frequency shows the refresh rate of processors. Normally 2.2GHZ to
3GHZ are modern processors.

Thus, to get a good processor, we must look for the overall balance
of all the aforementioned factors.
