Android 5.1 update brings full quad-core optimisation for Nexus 6

by John_A


Renowned Kernel developer Francisco Franco has shared on his Google+ page that after the Android 5.1 update the Nexus 6 is now running on all four cores engaged constantly.

The result? No more stutter or lagging on the Nexus 6 thanks to what Franco describes below:

1 – thread moves from cpu0 to cpu2
2 – driver is notified
3 – reads the current cpu0 frequency
4 – if cpu2 current frequency is less than cpu0’s read frequency it boosts cpu2 to that freq, or, if the origin freq is lower than the threshold (which is 1.7GHz by default AFAIK) it boosts to that threshold value.
5 – the boosted frequency on cpu2 stays there for at least 20ms

Have you noticed an improvement in the speed of your Nexus 6 after Android 5.1? Drop us a comment below.
