They said their Kal El chips were faster than Core2Duos. Remember how flexible they were with their benchmarks. It's nice that they don't say anything at all this time around. :) |

| 1364464 | 2014-01-07 09:18:00 | So in the future we'll be plugging a USB keybord, mouse, HDD and monitor into a cellphone when we want the old fashioned desktop experience or gaming. Oh yeah, and the big freezer block attached to the phone to keep all those cores cool will bring back memories of those ol' brick style cellphones of the 80's |

| 1364467 | 2014-01-07 22:50:00 | I think the day is definately coming when a smartphone can replace a laptop/desktop for many users, they already can to an extent. As for gaming even my aging S3 looks pretty damn impressive running 3Dmark in HD, smartphones have passed previous gen consoles for power and graphics capability already. All it takes is a dock of some kind to allow decent controllers and displays to be connected and the software to support it. I don't think touch and gesture really has that much of a future in gaming myself, it's a much poorer control system for that. Yes it's a step down in quality from a full size system and maybe always will be but that won't necessarily stop them from taking over. |

The other catch with developing games for desktop PC gamers is that it is a declining market that is expensive to develop games (Games can cost up to $100 million or more to develop en.wikipedia.org) for where as social online games or mobile games you are looking at development costing $100,000 or more to develop with much higher revenue returns expected due to a bigger market of customers. So my money would be on the future proliferation of mobile games. |
