It's much better than its predecessor's.

Usually CPUs are already bloody fast, even something in the midrange segment like an Snapdragon 7 Gen 3, and the main bottleneck is always storage speeds.

    Whats the point when its gonna be throttled by -50% after 5 mins of use

      i hope its not a hot mess.....its the same 3nm platform of 8elite so i assume it has way higher clock speeds so it can achive 30% more score....8elite is balanced and on its sweet spot efficiency wise i dont need 30% more power just give 10% more performance and increase the Ai NPU cores so the phones could run Ai options on board smoothly not some cloud service that no one uses

If we're using power efficient dedicated GPU card, typically will use 300watts in total or even less. Comparing to PS5 the gap is not much.

          Lisa said to open the possibility to bring strix halo to PC, if it's the case then we solve Power issue. The problem is how to make it into AM5 socket.

I sometimes move from one table to another if I want to find comfort in my shop because it's a bit cramped here. For PC it just consumes a lot of Watts which is why I didn't buy it.

                        Artem S. Tashkinov, 28 Mar 2025You know buzzwords, you don't understand buzzwords. ... moreYou're the one throwing words around to look smart.

                        Specifically making not the cases but tailoring them exactly so that they meet your criteria.

                        "A game that has already loaded" where in the F do you think it was loaded from and where do you think game files will be written and read from while you're playing those games? System RAM does not onload the entire game, that's utterly stupid of you and evident that you don't know how things work.

                        If you life revolves around candy crush and instagram, cool, keep it to yourself.

                        What is the F does CPU cache levels has to do with Storage speeds? Physical Caches on CPU on various levels and blocks do completely different tasks than even the system RAM, in the instruction hierarchy, L1, L2, L3 and L4 chaches never communicate with ROM/Storage.

                        Purposely overlooking major aspects like video recording (common) photography (common) that absolutely rely on storage speeds to write data since there are no smartphone cameras with sensor D-RAM chaches to keep a buffer unlike dedicated cameras. There is no substitute for faster storage.

                        There are countless tasls running in the background needing constant reads and writes.

                        People often underestimate modern apps ability to gobble up RAM and where do you think the temp files are stored when that happens? It's called system swap and all operating systems do this and this is why a system with all it's storage full becomes sluggish.

                        RAM fills up with no SWAP to rely on and system either crashes or has to wait on previous executions to clear the RAM or kill existing processes to move on.

                        You throw around words to seems smart and win arguments, a truly smart person makes it easier for people around them to understand how something works if they don't know.

                        You on the other hand are prime example of Dunning Kruger Effects.

                        Audacity must be on a ridiculous sale somewhere, people are too confident spreading misinformation. 😒

                          Soon we will be able to play Valorant, GTA6 at 60fps in our phones

                          Battery life 45mins
                          Super fast charging 9mins
                          Battery Pregnancy 9 weeks

                            really nice stuff, happy to see that they're continuing the innovation.

                            I just hope they dont keep upping the prices. That'd be a huge shame. It's not like the midrange is improving at the same rate either so it's gonna be bad for everyone.

                                  I have the Galaxy S25U and WOWEE. I'm impressed by the Snapdragon 8 Elite's performance. I'll hold to it though till S28U but the first gen Oryons? Solid performers. Rendering on phone is a breeze and the GPU and Ray tracing? a literal. chef. kiss!
                                  Can't wait to hear more details about the snapdragon 8 Elite 2! 👀

                                    most gaming laptop last longer (if not same) than most smartphone

                                    some parts inside laptop is replaceable (battery/ssd/ram)
                                    software/OS (windows) keep getting updates, even free OS upgrade

                                    gaming on laptop also way different than smartphone, where we can adjust many graphic settings, smartphone game is pretty limited settings

                                    there no reason it only last 2years lol

                                      Any more arguments for super fast storage for the average Joe other than for bragging rights?

                                      HBM is a type of RAM. It has zero relationship to mass storage.

                                      And transferring files via USB? Um, what? How does _that_ relate to performance? And how many people do that? I'll tell you a secret: ~99.9% of smartphone users have never transferred a single file via the USB/Lightning ports. Aside from charging it exists only for powerful users/hackers and service centers.

                                      You really could educate yourself first before making outlandish claims about the importance of super fast storage.

                                        Meanwhile, I agree that's playing heavy games on a phone is abusive. The cooling will not be sufficient despite the claim of multiple chambers since basically the heat cannot escape easily.
