The processor is the main component of a smartphone. There are many brands which offer a wide range of processors in the market.
Making it easier to understand even for a nontechnical person I am gonna keep it simple.
There are mainly 4 terms involved in understanding the processor.
1. The architecture of a processor
A company called ARM is the main supply for the core which is used in almost all the processor.
If you have seen any of the processor specifications you may notice a term called architecture and it says that it is of ARM Cortex A8 or A9 or A15. Making it simple higher the number latest the core and better than the before. For example, ARM Cortex A15 is better than A9.
2. The technology used in the processor
A processor consists of many small transistors which process the data.
The smaller the transistor more can be placed at a small area and more the transistor much better the core and more efficient it is.
If you have seen any of the processor specifications you can find a no like 14nm, 12nm etc, it is simply how small a transistor is in a core.
To make it easier lower the nm more the efficiency and better the processor.
3. Number of cores in a processor
Anyone who has a little knowledge about mobile phone you may know that more the number of processors more will be the performance.
To make it simple more the hands you have more the work you can do similarly more the cores more the work a processor can do.
It is exactly correct but all the core should be made of the same technology and same architecture.
If they are of different types then it becomes difficult to judge.
4. The frequency of a processor
Frequency is what we see whenever considering a processor.
To understand it simple 1gz means that the processor operates for 10 million times in one second.
Simply more the frequency more will be its performance.
All these decide the price and performance of a processor.
