Dunno I remember reading an article about one of the first Snapdragon PCs - they concluded that while the CPU side was pretty good (including, surprisingly availablity of native ARM ports, and x86 emulation), the GPU was far behind typical PC offerings in sophistication, and was unable to run the complex and compute shader heavy workloads required by modern games, shader compilers were buggy, and advanced features were missing or poorly implemented, which made it an expensive word processing machine.
I'm not sure if they fixed their newer GPUs but they really ought to.
- kakacik 1y agoYou get cca the same graphics as top android phones get, which is pretty decent. Of course it won't compete with 5090 but who would expect that
- torginus 1y agoThat's the whole point - these GPUs have impressive paper scores, but are designed with traditional, outdated ideas of shader pipelines in mind, and either cannot support flexible modern shading models/compute, or these features have tons of bugs, or end up being being much slower than the paper specs would suggest. Essentially they can't run most PC games/ graphics software made in the past decade
