The limiting factor of phone performance though is mainly modem quality though, and to a less extent RAM. A 1.75x increase in some CPU/GPU-bound benchmark is nice, but it's not going to make your web pages render that much faster in practice. Whereas the performance is going to increase dramatically once we get access to the new 600MHz spectrum, 4x4 MIMO, etc.



Except all the cases where it isn't limited by the modem. For example, web pages, heavy web apps on wifi, you know, native apps, games.


That’s crazy out of touch. The modem is definitely not the limiting factor. I get better LTE bandwidth than I do on my home fiber.

Latency is an issue, sure but not as much as CPU here.


I see Qualcomm’s PR campaign is working.
