Re:Apple TV "single core" A5 actually has two cores, one is off by tiles on Wednesday April 11, 2012 @09:21PM (#3830522)
That sounds bizarre to do with products in the wild. With chip yield being so fickle at such high concentrations, is having a core being disabled for most of the products' lifestyle a bad idea to activate suddenly, in case one core wasn't functioning properly?

If Apple plans on enabling the second core with a software update then they would have tested both cores during manufacturing.
