Note 3 only cores active.Is this a drawback?

 while analysing the phone's real-time performance, you can notice something pretty weird:
During gaming (and benchmarks), about 90-95% of the time, only 2 cores are active.
The only time all 4 cores are active is really during boot-up and loading of any kind.
It's not a big deal but I'm curious to see if you guys heard anything about cores being idle during gaming. It's news..

may be its because .......it only serves as a good demonstration of how efficient and optimized the design of the SoC is. Not much weirdness about it imo. Two krait 400 cores and that memory banwidth are more than enough to feed the Adreno 330 (very efficiently designed by itself with the flex render 2 feature btw) and its graphics crunching tasks, in current android gaming environment. Even RR3 is a light load for that kind of hardware.

Snapdragon 800 version.
