The Mobile CPU Vendor Bias Admission Thread

Why no option for "I don't care"?

Probably because he was run off this board by trolls?

I miss "Idontcare"

I really just don't give a crap. I honestly don't get the enthusiasm over mobile devices or the performance thereof. They can't do any truly heavy lifting and your interfacing with them over this tiny little screen. Mobile gaming is mostly just junk time wasters. I'm an adult and I don't need an adult version of the Gameboy, my nVidia Shield qualifies as one of my worst purchases ever and it's not due to any fault in the product's design.

Don't get me wrong, I value all the neat stuff our current mobile devices (smartphones) can do, I use mine constantly throughout the day. I'm just not enthusiastic about any of the goings on of it. It's a phone, same as the one I had before it (give or take a feature or two), same as the one that will come next. It's a throwaway device I'm never going to have warm fuzzy feelings about. I actually was a bit offended as I watched Anandtech's focus morph from PC hardware to mobile oriented tech.

GET OFF MY LAWN!

Despite I like Qualcomm (and I have a Mediatek powered phone, which is my secondary phone, and Intel powered phones, which was my main phone until I sent it to the US to apply the warranty due some reported issues), I agree with you. Unless the mobile tech brings very complex software, enough to justify this change, I don't see any reasons to get another phone for a long while.

To be fair it's not just Anandtech. The whole tech industry has been mobile focused for years now. That is part of the reason desktop GPUs and CPUs have somewhat stagnated, the old massive economy of scale on the consumer desktop is dead. Grandma wants an iPad to look at the grandkids, not a PC.

I am a huge fan of mobile personally ever since 2011 mostly because it WAS exciting. For a while there every new SoC or screen resolution doubled what the last models had, and the entire industry moved at a very brisk pace like computing in the early 2000's. Now mobile is starting to slow down because the market is saturated, but I still look forward to improvement because I am sick of lag dammit (but I don't want iOS).
