The thing is... When I read our local tech forum many have issues with hot spot temperatures. Pump out seems to be a real problem with this kind of design yet manufacturers keep using paste instead of phase change material. On top of that random issue/instability here and there.
Well, compared to FSR2... It's no contest. FSR2 is mediocre as upscaling method and quite bad as an anti-aliasing method. Compared to that almost anything is black magic. I sure hope thing get improved in the latest version since current version looks bad even at native resolution.
It's incredible how they can screw up something as simple as this. I sure hope that in the future all motherboards are required to use baseline profile out of the box. It should be the same across all vendors. If board is e-waste quality, then I understand why the limits would be lower than...
The thing is... NVIDIA has reached to a point where graphics card equals GeForce and even "random" Japanese idol knows that. It's hard to compete when other company has that kind of status. Producing decent cards will not help, they need another R300 and that's probably just good enough for them...
They likely are working on desktop support but I still think that image at least is from the desktop mode. Maybe they don't even plan to make "desktop version" and desktop mode on phone would eventually be identical to how Harmony OS would be on desktop machine. That would be nice - one OS...
Downloading random garbage 8h straight while on the go is not exactly s common use case. Sharing internet for some office work on the go is nothing. You do not need built in modem for that.
Some indestructible rugged monsters are a different story. But anyway, the point is that for 99% of...
That's partly the thing. In the past it was either Intel or AMD and those two could basically do what ever they wanted since they held MS hostage (thanks to their duopoly). Now things are about to change - MS has can pretty much pick anyone they want.
Also if other manufactures suddenly start...
It isn't. The whole point of high resolution display is that you get more pixels per inch. That's only true if you do not use any scaling and that makes no sense.
Ehh... That's completely wrong way of thinking. Higher resolution means better text rendering. I'd love to get 5K 27" inch since text rendering is meh at 2560x1440.
I'd say it's pretty poor for MT but quite realistic for how your average application would perform. They should offer three scores: ST, mixed (current MT) and MT (only tests workloads that benefit from multiple threads).
Because you didn't mark this as a question and that is a good thing.

Some new numbers from Qualcomm.
Matching M2 Max while using 30% less power is good staring point (Geekbench). Cross platform comparisons are always somewhat problematic anyway since there are other variables that can skew the results. I'm interested how much they can improve in the next gen.
Anti-cheat software are the real problem. X Elite should be more than good enough to at least run games like Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail without any issues even when emulated but that's not going to happen for now at least. I sure hope that Qualcomm is working with popular free to play...
Interesting to see how things are going to work out. They do need to do something about anti-cheat systems though and also ensure that popular games (like Genshin Impact - anti-cheat is going to cause issues) get native ports.
Different speeds and possibly lower/higher power versions. Bin quality plays a role there. I don't think it makes sense to make two chips. The second one would have to be much smaller and at that point it would be budget mobile chip (or Chromebook chip at best).
Things have changed quite a bit since 2022. Vivo X100 series for example is using MediaTek. There's Oppo Find X7 (non-ultra) and bunch of other phones too. In the future we'll probably see Dimensity in many other high end phone. Not just low to mid.
Well, that's debatable. So far they are lagging behind the main competition on mobile and desktop. APU's are a bit different story since there's only NVIDIA.
Here's the thing... even if the performance is halved when running x86 software, it would beat or match AMD Renoir based laptops (I have AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750U based work laptops). That's plenty of performance for most tasks.
It's hard to speculate since we don't really know that much about X Elite so there really isn't much to speculate. We don't know currently strengths or weaknesses.
