Qualcomm outs Snapdragon 410 SoC, 64-bit with LTE

utak-ipis haha di ibig sabihin na games ang habol isipbata na kaagad hahaha

Its predecessor, the Adreno 305 can score 50+ fps in Epic Citadel.(source: http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_m-review-973p5.php)

The GPU is still a nonissue for phones at this point because of their SoC (System-on-a-Chip) nature. Mali-400 is paired with a lot of lower end chips (Mediatek MT6572, ST-Ericsson NovaThor U8500) and also on higher end SoCs (Exynos 4412) but the main determining factor for performance is the SoC itself (of course, I didn’t take into account the number of cores of the Mali-400 GPU in the chip, but I digress).

There is also a question of support from mobile game developers. When Tegra 3 came out, there were a lot of complaints regarding the lack of support for the SoC from Gameloft and conversely, titles that were “NVidia Tegra 3-optimized” weren’t run as well by phones running on Qualcomm or Mediatek hardware.

Lately there has been an announcement from Gameloft and Mediatek that Gameloft would optimize their games for the upcoming Mediatek octa-core SoC, featuring elements from next-gen consoles like “enhanced soft particles rendition, greater depth of field as well as the “real God rays” and a dirt lens effect”, implying that you would miss out on the eye-candy if you use a phone equipped with different hardware.(source: http://blog.gsmarena.com/gameloft-shows-the-benefit-of-mediateks-octa-core-cpu/)

So, until the modular phone becomes a reality where you can buy a GPU separate from the chipset, look at the phone’s hardware as a whole, look at benchmarks and reviews before jumping the gun and damaging your wallet. Research-research muna, ika nga…

Of course it’s up to the user experience how a smartphone would satisfy them. Not everyone wants too much eye-candy (personally, I find motion blur headache-inducing). As to your bashing on the Mali-400, I’d like to see some sources to support your claim.

In the end though, everyone would see what they want to see. If they’re satisfied with how Mali-400 renders their games, I don’t see any issue with that. And as to the simplicity of the Mali-400 GPU design, I’ll go by the old adage: If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it.

At least hindi siya patapon na Adreno 203.. Hehehe. :P

@Real Gamer: maybe you’re forgetting the AMD GPU user’s worst enemy:

PhysX

@Real Gamer
You have a point there. I sometimes get problems when running a game on Unity engine in my smartphone.

Maybe the problem with standard regulation is because of Android’s open source nature. It encourages developers to try new things for the sake of creativity, without even considering optimization and support for all. I’m not going to pretend I’m a professional in this case, but this is just my opinion on the matter.

Now this is what Yugatech needs, an educated discussion without any insults and a constructive melee of ideas.
Cheers sa inyong dalawa evollove and Real Gamer!

I won’t dispute your ownership of those two devices like the haters you have in this site. However, bear in mind that there is about a year’s difference between the release of the Note 3 and the G2 and a few Android variants apart (unless you’ve updated your Note 3).

Furthermore, the G2 has a Snapdragon 800 and the Note 3 has an Exynos 4412, of which I’m pretty sure have different internal configurations and architectures. You can’t just put the blame solely on the Mali-400.

Now, if the upcoming Mediatek octa’s Mali-400 does suck, then bash away. But you still can’t completely bash on the Mali-400 in this case. The fault may lie on the Mediatek chip itself. That’s just the nature of an integrated system.

Until there can be a modular phone where you can customize everything to be the same down to the last detail save for the GPU (like PCs), you can’t legitimately say the Mali-400 sucks.

You’re welcome for your opinions though.
