    I would say they already are: the snapdragon 8Gen2 has a GPU comparable to a desktop GTX 1050 (!!!) And the 8gen3 is like 50% faster as well

      The limiting factor is still RAM, if you’re using more RAM intensive programs. Other than that, I’d pretty much agree.

        Strong press X to doubt.

        If it can run Sekiro for 5 mins before dying of overheating, it does not mean it is comparable.

          It’s a phone, not a gaming rig. Office work and internet browsing is what most people do with computers . The OS just doesn’t need to lag while doing the above and that’s enough. Cooling could be done via the dock used to transform the phone as pc.

            Many people nowadays use their phones for gaming, me included.

            Your point is not valid.

              Me too but you were talking about wanting to play a recent PC game on your phone. You play games natively made for phones or old games ported to the platform . Let’s not forget about emulation which is basically Pandora box. You have access to games from the nes library to the entire Nintendo switch library. You don’t need the OS part for this to work, it’s already there.

          Seems comparable to me. How long could the 1050 run a game without active cooling?

            Uhh… Goalpost move. Active cooling is part of the design.

            Phones lack active cooling, which means performance can’t be the same for any meaningful length of time.
