    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.

        Ok, What do you foresee us needing to do on our phones that we cannot do now?

          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”…
