and you just don't understand why ARM's not working, it's not cus of the GPU, it's cus this is not Intel/AMD. to further understand why ARM's struggling "more", look at how much Intel struggled with their Arc GPUs, and still do. You're just incompetent.

If it was new design they would consider that. X elite gpu lack anything desktop that's why it struggle running many Desktop class software. Adreno 800 series is desktop class gpu to solve those issues.
Also it's not leak alone as I told you before it's exactly same specification as Adreno 740, why would Qualcomm design two different gpu with exactly same specification?

Also S25U won't get reasonably priced in first 6 months after release ... unless you find a good cellular plan/contract with it, that is

Unless they stretch the size out with some more cache or build something new from scratch with the same number of GPU cores, it's just not feasible.
You're basing everything off of leaks man

That being said, if I had to choose, I'd happily wait. The leap this year is too big.

I'm in need to upgrade from a Galaxy A52s, and I had my sights set on an S24 Ultra, but seeing how much of an improvement this chipset seems to be, now I'm divided. Should I go for the S24 Ultra now or wait for the S25 Ultra instead?

is it only for Android?
is it only for smartphones?
Can it work with an independent graphics card?
Can you buy it, and board it?

Anonymous, 22 Oct 2024It ill have similar power usage as 8 Gen 3. The efficiency ... moreYes and No.
Its more efficient than 8 Gen 3, yes. So at same power consumption it performs faster than 8 gen 3. Yes. But Max power consumption is not same for both.
According to initial testing by a youtube channel (Geekerwan).
During Geekbench 6 CPU tests.
Max power draw of 8 Gen 3 was 11w.
Max power draw lf 8 Elite is 16w+.
Max Power draw of Dimensity 9400 is 18w+.
During 3d Mark (GPU Test).
8 Gen 3 is 8.5w.
8 Elite and Dimensity 9400 is 11w.
The actual performance gain that you get from these higher power consumption on newer gen SOCs is not that much. At the same power draw as 8 Gen 3 they already perform around 30% higher. That extra 5-10% for that massive increase in power draw, not sure that's worth it.
I wish Qualcomm and Mediatek gave 3 option to adjust different power levels.
max power
matching power level of last gen
matching performance level of last gen.
Like i would happily have same performance of 8 Gen 3 with less power consumption, less heat and higher battery life.

No wo... moreDamn chill dude. We still not there yet . Genshin impact could run 120fps on the highest setting without throttle (leaked test by dcs), and that GT7Pro emulator played 3A game with a stable 60 fps. Unlike PC that has an active cooling, phones manufacture must enhance their performance while keeping the heat below 50°C passively. be patient.
Oh 46°C on that wuthering damn my brains not connecting

Look up the game test result. 41°C 60 fps while drawing 6W in wuthering waves is insane. 42°C 60 fps playing genshin also only draw 4.4 watts. The peak power wouldn't matter since oem won't allow the soc to reach that far

Hemedans, 22 Oct 2024Man I don't use leak to prove my point as sole reason,... morei still think it's the same architecture, just with MORE cores and overclocked cores, not just an 8 gen 2 that's overclocked.
That's because the 8 gen 2 is a SMALL phone chip, Qualcomm properly pushed the thermals, watch Geekerwan's videos to see what I mean, qualcomm pushed the phone to the point of diminishing returns, unless they made a new chip tailor-made for laptops, it'd have been impossible.
Again, it's like the CUDA cores used by NVIDIA or the Compute Units/CUs used by AMD, they just dumped more and overclocked the memory. Everywhere I go I see the mention of "12 cores" when talking about the X Elite. And I did some digging.

It seems like you're correct, it's BASED ON the mobile chip, but it isn't a simple overclock, and as i said, there's other stuff. For example, the L2 cache is nearly 5x larger, VRAM is 2x large, and so on. You can't just say it's an overclocked phone GPU.
