Strange, why this needs to be explained. Some spend hours of every day for work/ consumption and upgrade every 6-12 months. Should some be spending as much money/monthly as they do? If not contributing to work. Well that's a different discussion and then it gets down to also being a hobby/ their web enjoyment 'toy'.
Clocks are a fine line and would be set that high if the manufacturer could. But are probably limited by cooling/ battery life.
Seriously lol.
Funny how on a tech forum:
User 1: OMG HASWELL ISN'T FAST ENOUGH!?
User 2: What you need it to be faster for?
User 1: BENCHMARKING!!!!!
But when it comes to phones, people claim to care less about performance. Maybe because some people are simply antisocial and never need to use their phones, but those of us who need to use it, phone performance is important.
Considering I send more texts than my whole family combined, and I'm almost always on it (Sometimes I accidently google things on my phone AT my computer), phone benchmarks are important to me.
Kind of pisses me off actually that Samsung releases 2 different versions (US/International) of their phones, but usually only talks about the specs of the international phone, thus you think you're getting the fast international til you realize you get the watered down US phone.
but do you think you could tell the difference between them[special benchmark mode/regular mode] if you were to use them as let's say...cellphones?
It is funny to see how people dog samsung for making their chips run at non-undercloked speeds, when the performance is so high.
Again, just amazing to me. If Intel released Haswell and you bought a 4770k, only to find out that it never ran at advertised speed, and only ran at turbo speed during benchmarks, and not even at gaming, you'd be irate.
The only reason I can think of that people are like "Meh whatever" is that they rarely use their cell phones.
