16 December, 2015
A new rumor from China claims no other smartphone maker will launch a Snapdragon 820 device before that.

AnonD-391800, 19 Dec 2015I guess, by your stance on the matter, you are one of those... moreI can say this about you. And you didn't find any proof on your original statement.

Well... I will do that:

2) https://www.gamebench.net/en/blog/lg-g4-gaming-performance-ranked-against-other-android-and-ios-smartphones
The second link clearly shows that GS6 and Exynos 7420 has the best GPU and is chasing iPhones with much more moderate screen resolution (though not every games runs native).

      AnonD-391800, 19 Dec 2015Sure http://sonictech101.blogspot.hr/2015/03/exynos-7420-v... moreStop-stop-stop. For how long Gflops became the measurement of the GPU performance? Do you measure car speed in horsepower? Or weight in cubic meters?

      Well, do you have REAL gaming tests showing the superiority of Adreno 430 over Mali T760? My opinion of benchmarks you saw earlier. Personally I have seen them lying by 2x (!), that's just unacceptable.

      Also Adreno is a closed arch and noone except QC knows its specs (and Gflops among them). I bet it has about 250 Gflops.

        http://sonictech101.blogspot.hr/2015/03/exynos-7420-vs-snapdragon-810-poking.html?m=1

        Adreno does 388 gflops, mali 210 gflops.
        And brfore you conclude wrong, other graphic benchmarking there ( measuring fps) is due to trotlling of snapdragon, but under heaviest load while exynos is trottling too, mali shows its true weakness...
        Its that almost double gflops processing power difference....
        Newest sd810 devices trottle much less due to much better heat managment
        So the conclusion is only logical ;-)

It seems like you're a hardcore QC fan if you say that Adreno 430 is nearly like two Mali T760MP8-s when the sad reality (for you) says that Adreno 430 is 20% slower than Mali MP8 in its fastest config (Xiaomi Mi Note Pro) and 25 - 30% faster than Exynos 5433 GPU.
          I have done the measurements in games by myself and asked some device owners to do the same. The throttling was reduced to the possible munimum.

          I'm waiting for your sources that show the superiority of Adreno 430 over Mali T760.

            Do not make that mistake, newer sd810 devices are just superior to exynos7 in graphic performance, their cpu performance is better controlled, and adreno430 processes out almost double the amount of data than the most advanced mali chip at the moment

Bezels are already getting thin as heck even without force touch, just look at the Mate 8 with its cray 78% screen-to-body ratio. You may be right companies may eventually force us to adopt it if all future phones including low end ones offer it.

It still scores high in cpu tests, and their GPU simply has no equal. The best mobile CPU's today all deliver fast lag-free experience already, ever since 2014, so these benchmark scores are nothing more than a proverbial dick measuring contest.

                                  So it's clear that chinese OEMs can create good SoCs, how good? We'll know shortly, what's clear is that Qualcomm is not an "only-road" (was it ever?).
