Nokia CEO Stephen Elop stated in an interview with a Chinese Newspaper, that multi processors are a waste of battery life. In Yangcheng Evening News he said, “The so called dual-core mobile phones can only waste batteries, but not be useful for consumers all the time.”

Microsoft’s Windows phone mobile operating system does not support multi-core chipsets, but the company has been highlighting the “real word performance” of its handsets through the “Smoked by Windows phone” challenge.

Elop claimed that the company’s new leading phone Lumia 900, could never defeat iPhone or an Android smart phone because they have dual-core and quad core processers.
