The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 S4 and running the home processor manufacturer, the Exynos 5 Octa will not be able to run their eight cores at the same time with an update, says Oleg Artamonov, Engineer at Samsung. The reason, he says, is due to the high energy consumption and overheating caused by this action, if it ever had to come into practice on these two smartphones. This could affect the stability and reliability of big.LITTLE architecture.

Samsung will still release a revamped Exynos processor with eight cores to run together.

Artamonov also confirms that Samsung plans to increase its old smartphones running Android 4.3 during the fall. Recall that SFR has announced the upcoming deployment of the latest version of Android on Samsung Galaxy S3, S4 and Note 2 and the HTC One.
