Perhaps, but I've run the 2GB and 4GB VRAM version of the same laptop side by side in Skyrim, clean install, no systemtweaks, HD texture pack, settings at highest and in the intro opening (so same render), the 2GB runs at 30-45FPS, and the 4GB at a constant 60FPS. So... ;)

Of course it doesn't mean more preformance compared to a newer version. That's like saying an i5@2.5ghz has nothing on an i7 @1.9ghz. Evidently.

But in terms of how much it can manage at the same time, 4 does make a difference over 2.

Besides, the price between the 2GB and 4GB was identical. :cool: So I figured what the hell, 2GB extra for no money at all. ;)
[General Topics] rootdefyxt320:
If you are going to get a memory bottleneck which is in the case of DDR3 on an 128Bit-Bus, it's going to hinder performance significantly. I prefer 2GB GDDR5 over 4GB DDR3. Basically manufacturers choose between 2GB GDDR5 or 4GB DDR3, (unless you have 4GB GDDR5, then of course it will beat 2GB GDDR5)
[General Topics] ShadowLea:
The option was between 2GB DDR3 and 4GB DDR3. Sadly, DDR5 was a whole galaxy outside my budget (total came at 2100 euro if I wanted DDR5). :( Also, it's ridiculously hard to find a decent gaming laptop in this country. Everything is sold with either 4GB RAM, an i3 or *shudder* an Intel HD 4000.
[General Topics] rootdefyxt320:
Yeah, same case in Australia where they over price 'gaming' laptops/ computers also. I ended up building my custom computer and it costed me $1200 and in the shops it costs like $2200 for the equivalent specs. I think you should try to overclock memory on your GPU using MSI Afterburner to improve performance.
[General Topics] ShadowLea:
I'll give that a go once it starts having issues. For now I have yet to find a single game that runs below 55FPS at the highest settings. :)

it's a matter of time that smartphone beats most pc.
[General Topics] spixy:
Its impossible to smartphone to beat PC (smartphone CPU are designed to max 5W I think, but PC CPU can have over 150W therefore they can have higher frequencies).

I dont know why, but somethimes scrolling on chrome on SGS4 Mini (2x 1.7GHz) is less laggy than scrolling on chrome on my notebook (i7-2630qm 4x 2.6GHz, 6GB ram) :eek:
[General Topics] kpirnie:
no... its not impossible... in fact... its quite the opposite.

remember when motorolla was making the cpu's for the MAC? Those were the best processors for the architecture.

Just like these arm processors.

Power consumpttion has absolutley nothing to do with how the chips perform... remember... these arent speakers...

From my experience, modern octa core smartphones probably on par with 10 year old laptops that were in the price range of $1.5k. That's mainly because the graphics back then were quite poor. Smartphone CPU probably won't keep up.

If you would like to compare PC, not a laptop, to a smartphone, than you have to go way beyond 10 years back.

Of course if you would make some restriction on price then it would get a bit different than comparing fastest smartphones of today with mainstream laptops and PCs of the past.

higher performance requires more energy (power consumption)

Electrical efficiency
[General Topics] kpirnie:
No, might I direct you to that page you just posted.... and to QUOTE: "Efficiency should not be confused with effectiveness"

You gonna try to tell me that your 110W 3.8 Quad-Core AMD Processor is going to run better and faster than my 90W 3.8 Quad-Core? Power consumption has absolutley nothing to do with clock cycles, nor performance of any chip... let alone processors.

The only reason chip manufactures create chips that take less power consumption is to compete in a green market... nothing more

I think you are thinking of voltage here friend. With tweaking the voltage of a processor, yes you can greatly effect the clock cycles it performs at. Wattage is nothing more than how much power the processor consumes, given the voltage taken across the components, and the amperage it uses...
[General Topics] spixy:
you are right, 90W 3.8GHz is as fast as 110W 3.8GHz quad core (if they have same architectures)

but

1.) mobile CPUs have small size so they have less transistor count -> less compute units & less complex architecture -> lower performance

2.) mobile CPU have only passive cooling, no fans so they cannot have high frequencies because of overheat

3.) If ARM would be more efficient in future, we can just replace x86 by ARM (at least in servers, in desktop x86 probably stays due to compatibility)
[General Topics] mithab:
Well ARM was designed with mainly power consumption in mind. Personally I dont think ARM will ever catch up to some high end processors like intel core i5.

Depends on the area of course.

My 5-6 year old Asus laptop has a core2duo 2.6gHz that is probably quite a bit slower than the latest mobile cpu's, but the GT9500M in it still beats any mobile gpu so far afaik.

My current Asus G55VW has an i7 and GTX660M that'll beat mobile computing for probably years still.

The same way a desktop will beat my laptop by miles for the same amount of cash.

I also compared the ability to run a DS emulator.

If I put an SSD in the PCs that I had before this it would help only in that regard - but it's not like it would make my laptop be able to play Skyrim. SSDs just improve things like load time - that's great, but it's not going to make my desktop that had been upgraded from Win95 struggle any less with basically every other aspect of what I'd want from a modern computer.

Most peoples PCs are almost certainly faster than their smart phones, including the latest SGS4, vs some crappy laptop, the problem is perception and the fact that mechanical hard drives cause a bottle neck in most PCs these days, whereas phone run from NAND flash.
