Fight me: Single-core performance is still much more important than multi-core performance for most things you do on a phone, including web browsing.

I get down voted every time I say that. Single core performance will always be the best indicator of how fast the phone is IRL. Any application that is basically a wrapper around a javascript heavy web app is going to run like ass on a phone that has a low single core performance even if the phone has great multicore performance.

I still don't get why this question seems to be almost political.

I think you underestimate how many games people play on their phones.

[tpmx]

I think you overestimate how many CPU cores those games effectively use in comparison to the daily e.g. webview usage.

Very happy to be proven wrong though - I have no direct experience in the modern mobile gaming area.
