      I guess if phones turn into all-in-one devices we could need more power, but I haven’t noticed any change in gaming performance for generations of snapdragon. Always locked at 60 fps.

      I guess efficiency is always welcome

        My point was that we cannot predict the future, saying something like;

        we are “there” with processing power

        Will be as incorrect as

        640Kb should be enough for anybody

        It’s just impossible to predict, not only how we will utilize our tools, but also what the consumer wants in 10 years or so.

        Besides, narrowing the scope of the device down to “just” gaming is a limited viewpoint.

            I don’t know, you don’t know, no one knows… at least not for certain. That’s my point. If I wanted to try my luck with being an oracle, I’d play the lottery ;-)

            What I’m challenging is to just plainly saying “nope well never need anymore computational power in our device”…
