Is it that slower than the top 8-cores from 2016?

8GB of RAM is also significantly more than the 2 or 3 a decade ago in top-of-the-line phones.

Anyways, I doubt use cases for these wound use much CPU, imho if it's at like a Raspberry 5 level it's usable (does it also not have a good GPU?), and I'm glad it's not built around ESP32.

With these specs the company needs to explain why they aren't offering more powerful options imo.

Market prices, and all the Qualcomm chips are pre-hogged (and closed sauce). Actually there might not be many more powerful mobile chips out there.

Literally libre hardware tax ;).

Oh didn't catch that there was amemory upgrade, that does make it better. The 4 core one should be 25-30% of 2016 flagship phone performance and 12% of rpi 5.

I wonder if low powered x86 would be viable

Where did you get those stats from?

I only found this, lol.

Vs phones from geekbench scores of sd 410 vs sd 820, vs rpi from this page.

Looking at them again it seems the a53 is clocked way below this device in both, my bad.

Here's the correct comparson, vs sd 820 and sd 653.

The 4 core part is 30-35% of sd 820 and 20-25% of the rpi 5 equivalent. The 6 core is 40% of sd 820 and 30% of rpi5 in single thread and 70% of sd 820 and 45% or rpi in multi thread.
