I just dont see how they could make such big leaps in performance, within 10years time, to allow smart phones to be more powerfull than playstation 4s. |
Depends on whether or not Moore's law continues to be consistently true within the next ten years. Less than 9 years ago the original Iphone released.
The original iphone had 128 MB of ram, a 412 Mhz generic Samsung ARM CPU, and graphics capabilities much less than what the PSP can offer at the time. Today the best Iphone is better than the MacBook released in the same year in terms of CPU performance, has 2 GB of ram, and moderately surpasses the Vita in graphics capabilities/theoretically matches the PS360. So the jump in less than ten years was from worse than PSP to almost as good as PS360. And the 6s isn't even the best that is out there as far as phone hardware goes.
Ten years is a very long time for technology to advance.
And if it is true that power output is what truly limits the mobile devices, then it makes it even less of an issue because within ten years we should have a power-supply breakthrough as battery/capacitor technology has very much lagged behind the last few decades, and there is a lot of research going into the the solid-state physics involved to improve these technologies, as well as the engineering to implement them in cost-effective means.
