Cheap phone vs expensive phone

In this day and age there is a solid case to be made that the mid-rangers offer a better user experience for a significant number of customers as shown in this video. The mid-rangers are more durable: simpler designs, bigger bezels, more durable materials (Alu, plastic vs. glass and...

The "Core 2 Quad" club

My main desktop is Q9550, most of its life running stock @ 1.08v (the modo doesn't get lower). Over the years, it has been running anything from Windows XP to 10, from OSX 10.5 to 10.9, various Linux... Still perfectly usable.

Intel going after 2018 iPhone foundry deal

Of course Qualcomm is doing worse then a few years back, as they should, it perfectly mirrors their products. By making their own SoC (it could even be with ARM cores since they are arguably the best at the moment) Intel would make sure the foundry has business, they would sell their own...

Intel going after 2018 iPhone foundry deal

It wouldn't make more sense for them to reenter the ARM market and directly compete with Qualcomm, the margins would be better? Maybe this is just the first step of that process?

OnePlus 3

It would actually be more battery efficient with less RAM... But they need marketing talking points.

OnePlus 3

While I was skeptical about the big.Little approach, it appears it does way better on your 1st point than Qualcomm big cores. Reading the GSMArena review of the "Sony X Performance" it appears to not be able to stand up to the regular X with a SD 650 in terms of battery life. Even with a more...

Google officially bringing Android apps to Chromebooks

Toys sells better than pro machinery. If it's not for you it doesn't mean it has no potential.

Google officially bringing Android apps to Chromebooks

This will not significantly affect the high end laptop/PC sales, but it really could be a big thread at the low end and the only growing segment, the detachables/2in1s. New Chromebooks might be more compelling touch devices than Windows with this big touch enabled apps catalog. It will be...

[PCWorld] Intel kills the Atom line

ARM won tablets, tablets just didn't win customers. There are clear indications of an upcoming attempt to push Chrome/Android on PCs (NUC like boxes and convertibles) in the following years, mostly for casual costumers and that might be ARMs next opportunity. With Intels latest moves, the...

Snapdragon 830 Specifications

825 is the weirdest SoC ever, doesn't seem likely to me. I question in what way it would be better than the 820 beside the process. What are the workflows on Android that would require that kind of single thread performance if is even realistically achievable without being a completely...

State of mobile chip (Qualcomm Kryo, ARM Cortex A72, Intel Goldmont)

Isn't this really similar to the claims ARM made for the A72?

Android on your PC: Remix OS

From using the leaked version for a few hours the last 2 days: - its surprisingy fluid - apps load fast (even from an USB 2 flash drive) and once you load them, they stay in RAM even when you close the app, so the next time it starts "immediatly" I think if they managed to make a deal...

Mediatek Helios X20 Geekbench

Krait was doing fine on the CPU side too. They just messed up with the last gen, lets hope they are back on track now.

Mediatek Helios X20 Geekbench

It seems GPU isn't perceived as a priority by the Chinese companies as Huawei uses the same "weak" GPU configuration.
