Octa-core is not needed, MCS usually needs only some 4 cores (generating, storage, chunksending and worldticking); RAM is more important in my opinion.

And I remember running well MCS for android, when it worked, on a Samsung Galaxy Mini (348mb ram, 600mhz x 1, android 2.3.6)

Well, I run MCServer on an octa-core big.LITTLE Cortex-A15/A7 setup with 2GB of RAM. Occasionally runs faster than my Intel Core i3-4000M. I'd say it runs pretty nicely.

@Howaner you seem to be using gcc 4.7, that one is not supported; since we moved to C++11 the minimum gcc version is 4.8.

But gcc 4.8 and later is unstable...

[DiamondToaster]

I haven't found them to be unstable, they've operated completely flawlessly so far. I use gcc 4.9.2.

Did someone want CPU performance analyses?

Yeah, I wanted perf measurements, but on the actual device, on the ARM processor (which is architecturally much different from x86 / x64).

Do you think is it worth to give a try?

[xoft]

That looks almost too good to be true. Definitely worth trying it out. Will you?

[tonibm19]

I don't think I'm enough experienced to do it, but I'm tempted to give it a try at least.

Well, I'm trying to install it, will try and report.
