Woah, not a chance. 10 years MAX. I'd be very surprised if Mobile Devices aren't as powerful as a ps4 within 5 years.

In 5 - 10 years? Maybe... although the annual progress of mobile GPU power is slowing down every year: the iPhone 4S / iPad 2 were ~600% faster than their one year older predecessors, now we are down to ~100% per year and the annual gains will probably fall to 30% - 50% in the following years.

2017 like ARM suggest? Never.

The Nvidia Shield X1 uses around 10-15watts of power (its a tablet chip, used in a mini console)

That means its roughly 1/4th the power of a Playstation 4.
And at 10-15watts, which would be too much for a smart phone (usually 3watts or lower).

Actually the Shield TV uses almost 20 watts when a demanding game runs:

A smartphone or tablet with that chip would need additional power for the display.

 

Thank you for posting this.

Nvidia loves to claim their mobile chips (which are usually way to power hungry for mobile) are able to compete with this and that in terms of graphics.

 

Best mobile chip on the market right now, is 1/4th of the PS4 (or less in performance), and uses 19.4watts doing so.

If they tried to scale that up to PS4 levels, they would probably design a chip just as power hungry as the PS4.

 

Theres just no way that in 2017, we see Smart Phones equal to PS4s.

This over the top marketing has to stop, and people need to stop swallowing this crap.

Look how many in this thread, actually think before 10years we ll see smart phones as powerfull?

How does marketing fool so many people?
