hello, so I am in the market for a phone and it is down between the iPhone 6s and nexus 6p. Now I know iphones have higher single core performance, and the 6p has higher multi core performance, but what i don't know is what is a single core task vs a multi core task.
 
Solution
If you go with either of these, everything will run perfectly and you won't even notice a difference. Both are high end with best hardware and newest software. Just pick the one which suits your likings more.

ok but can you answer what is a single vs multi core task
 


ok but can you be a little more specific please, such as is gaming multi cored and web browsing single or what.
 
1 running task 1 thread

but gaming need much performance
1 thread is not enough, they must make the game running on multi threaded to use all cores performance

nowadays, browser has multi threaded
like firefox on computer is multi threaded, so is mobile browser should be multi threaded
single threaded wont be enough, plus for people who will using many tabs

gaming on faster single core performance will get higher max fps than more slower core performance
but it doesn't mean less faster core will always better than more slower core
faster core will done their jobs faster, but more core will gain more power from their core number
