Kingelon A2800 MTK6592 hexa core? - Cyborger - 2014-05-24

Hi, I just bought Kingelon A2800 smartphone and noticed that android detects only 6 cores out of 8. Antutu and CPU-Z shows same 6 cores. Everywhere in the phone writes that it has MT6592 chipset, That means it should have 8 cores. Any ideas how this can happen or how can I fix this?

Interesting, we can use adb to check amount of cores but can't make those apps display any more cores than they display now.

Very strange. Mine cpu-z looks like this:

Your results are fake, Where did you buy this phone? do you have cwm recovery installed?

Run MTK Droid Tools and in the CPU results it should tell you your real SoC.

MtkDroid tools shows the same:

I bought it on Dealextreme. Yes, I have cwm recovery installed.

Run this: [Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register]

In the corner you should see horizontal bars.

Then run this: [Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register]

Tap CPU heavy load. This is what 8 bars looks like. This isn't the end-all be-all, but if you get 8-bars, you have an Octa-core. It's interesting in your CPU-Z it says max 1.5, but the cores running at 1.66. It's also somewhat curious that it says you have exactly 2GB RAM total.

Any test you run is desktop mode including mtkdroid tools will all show same fake info as every app gets the same info, boot into recovery and use adb to get info about your phone.

Not true. MTK Droid Tools will often detect whether an SoC has been faked or not. That's not saying it can't be tricked. But it's an excellent first line of checking.

If you're going to recommend a method, consider giving the exact details for the OP as to how to perform the test for cores.

I am writing instructions, and checking them on my phone already.

Anyway below are some tests, performed in recovery mode will get you info about your phone.

If you post your output I will go over them with you.

My commands can simply be copied and pasted into cmd window.

Code:
cat /proc/cpuinfo

cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/kernel_max

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/possible

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/present

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

busybox free -m
