@Jonathan_Blow @mixedCase_ @ID_AA_Carmack It is generally true, but certainly *can* be untrue in specific cases. It's possible the auteur scenario you're describing could indeed be one of those cases. But I'd also note No Man's Sky (for example) is a far better game now than it was on release.

@PassMarkInc difference between 2 and 4 (or 8, 16, 32) cores is negligible in office, browsing. Hell it's even negligible in modern gaming. Probably only matters in Photoshop for filters which are close to raytracing/encoding use.

@miguelatwork the far more interesting metric is single-threaded per TDP, since 90% of day to day computer perf is single thread perf.. unless you encode movies or raytrace all day long ;)

If you simply took the same SoC and removed the phone size TDP limitations (as Apple already does for iPad releases) there's no question that you could get to 25th-30th with this exact silicon, today. And if you REALLY put a cooling system on it, like in a laptop? 🤔
