Itll mostlikely melt the internals and explode! In your dreams it can beat a full blown Desktop CPU+GPU. Unless they design specifically for Desktop without power & thermal contraints then come at me again. Even the M1 Apple chips are just marketing that throttles hard!

Passively cooled phones won’t do much. It’s not a laptop computer where heat dissipates rather quickly. That’s why I said if you want to play demanding games, just use a console or PC.

At least an equivalent chip can sustain that wattage for a longer period of time. As for demanding games, blame the game because of the optimisation.

                The article ignores the fact the Qualcomm 898 has more processing power than most desktop processors. Qualcomm continues to pull farther ahead of Meditek.
                The processor only runs hot when playing the most demanding games. Qualcomm's only competition is Apple.

                      You can use phone with SD888 or SD895 to cook your english breakfast without using an expensive gas.
                      Thats a very bright idea what to do with overheating phone.

                        Well that isn't good news. It would mean that Android Phone Manufacturers need to use better cooling technology for that flagship chipset (a combination of Liquid Cooling and Graphene Cooling would be a MUST instead of either). Phone Manufacturers underestimated the 888 and reduced their heat sink sizes for their new phones

                          Mobile Phones are thermal limited due to it not only being compact but sealed so improvements will be so so so a pipe dream! Or marketing ploy!

                            It's bullshit, just another marketing shit, ordinary users will never fill difference exept price

                              I think because its from samsungs design mainly the reason it runs hot. Its exynos does too even the earlier ones. I guess they should go back to TSMC.

                                noooo wasting my time waiting for 898 yet it still have heat trouble and bad peak sustained performance, then kirin 9000 or dimensity 1200 is my choice

                                  The main problem is samsung fabrication qualcomm want to use tsmc fabrication

                                    Last year the naming scheme change because of the addition of the x1 core. The 5 became 8. The new processor will have the x2 core, it doesn't make sense for it to be call 895. But, it might not be the 898 either since, Qualcomm might want to change its naming scheme again with the change in architectures.
                                    It's now arm v9!!

                                      lacp, 13 Aug 2021You think that Samsung is inferior in terms of manufacture ... moreSamsung is inferior compare to TSMC.
                                      That's a fact...
                                      ...and that's sad for competition.

                                      Samsung's 5nm nothing close to TSMC's 5nm.

                                      Pixels density is 1.73Million transistors per mm2 on TSMC's 5nm and only 1.27Million on Samsung's

                                      With such a difference, it's not normal both shouldn't have the same name!

                                        [deleted post]As opposed to what? Good luck avoiding devices using a Samsung component. Every product out there is a scam. You're just bias and ill informed.
