(The four cores bit is basically a crutch because of how terribly the pen mode is implemented on the sunxi display driver; only the Notepad ever onlined three cores, and the aforementioned driver behavior means one of those is pegged at 100% in pen mode. TL;DR => two effective cores with a sane display driver).

Oit of curiosity, how did you test this?

And if this is still the case, it allows for a great update if kobo improve the firmware to make the device support multiprocessing and utilize all four cores.
