The All-New Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Is The Best Arm CPU For Emulation, It Runs It All

[@Gabilleta]

@@buster5661 Explain how the Razer Edge "does it better"? It's an Android tablet with active cooling that comes with a gimped version of the Razer Kishi that you can't use with anything else other than the Edge. And if I go by your logic, repairing the Razer Edge is just as expensive as buying a new one, so I SHOULDN'T buy it because of the repair costs. The RedMagic 9 Pro has demonstrably faster charging at 80w (Not even considering the Pro Plus will have even faster charging), a massive 6500mah battery in a sleek form factor, a MUCH better screen with much better touch response, capacitive triggers, much better cameras in comparison, robust passive AND active cooling, and a coprocessor dedicated for gaming. You can basically use ANY controller with it. The best part about it, you can still use it as a phone for everyday stuff. You can't do that with the Razer Edge. And both have expensive repair costs.

[@vanguard812-vf7hr]

@@buster5661 To be honest charge seperation alone does help so much. My Red Magic 6R could last like 4-5 more years on the same battery when I calculated the charge rates. You can always bring charge cycles to .03-.05 per day enabling charge seperation while gaming. Usually without the charge seperation the average charge cycles would be .20-.25 for heavy use. I use AccuBattery app and did so many months of testing on two phones. RM6R and Moto Edge S30. I usually stop the charge 50%-65% on RM6R while Moto Edge S30 I would use 25%-65% or the 30-65 charge strategy for .20-.25/day. My battery for RM6R is still strong to this day. That phone is 2 years old. At 2-3 years I would be replacing the battery.

For the Gran Turismo 4 test, you should've done a race at one of the night tracks, like Special Stage Route 5. Those tracks tend to push the emulators to the absolute limit.

So far, I wouldn't expect Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 emulation until around 2026. They're still under development and it has been slower not only because of their more complex PowerPC hardware which was why the Switch emulator was mastered quickly as it had a Tegra which was easy to figure out. I'd say it won't be until around 2025/2026 till we get PS3/Xbox 360 emulation on Android. Don't expect RTX 3080 performance until around 2027/28 at best case scenario, depending on how quickly Qualcomm pushes those limits.

When you're tweaking the graphics settings on a PC game, buying a new TV in a store, ordering an ultrawide monitor online or checking a console game's resolution target, the resolution is specified, not some nebulous multiplication factor.

that's actually a good thing considering how hot it is when benchmarked then it throttles. when a chip so powerful that ran at 50% of it's power, means it won't get so hot then throttles

[@logicstone1661]

Switch and PC emulation is the closest thing

[@turnbasedtoddy7664]

I didn’t see any ps3 in this video. Got me all excited

[@COROLLA-2024]

Fun fact: you can run ps3 on android by using winlator or mobox - windows emulators, where you can boot up rpcs3.

It's funny how people say Sony is king of the TV's ever year, but they still use them trash ass mediatek foc in the TV's. Samsung: Thanks 4 keeping it real 💯

[@Roobar_Plays]

Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 hype has begun!

[@ErenRodriguez01]

It would be more accurate to put ps2 instead of ps3 on the thumbnail. Right now there's no ps3 emulator for android. It definitely could run it if there was one but sense there isn't one its too clickbaity and misleading

[@RebelliousX]

I wish there is an Android TV box with this chip to replace my old Shield TV, then I would have a true multimedia, multi-console emulator all in one device. And as for loading my huge library of games, I use CIFS Document Provider app to load the games from my NAS server and emulate local storage ( currently I do this on my phone ). There is no need to copy 500GB+ of games to the phone or the Android TV.

[@anglo-saxonconnor817]

Xbox? Beside being a console it is actually a multimedia tv box in a way too and it can do emulation too.

[@RebelliousX]

@@anglo-saxonconnor817 No, I want something like the Shield TV but more powerful.

[@samcoronado2801]

Pls test on egg ns

[@INTERCEPTOR310]

Great Times For Emulation On Smartphones 🤘😋

[@utsavarora8183]

Please try NFS most wanted also either in aethersx2 or dolphin emulator

[@josefeliciano4911]

Excellent video, according to the tests carried out on the processor, the generation 2 is more powerful and efficient than the 3, although the battery is longer lasting.

[@rubbersoul420]

I think his results seem to point to a better chip for emulation at least.

[@mariusznowak725]

Nice performance with this SDg3!I got phone with SDg2 and it's quite good as well for emulations, now I'm waiting for my phone with SDg5 and I hope it will be able to run PS3 emulator!That will be something!!!

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is the one people are waiting for. Orion cores in late 2024! 🤯

[@greedyboi8431]

lol even snapdragon 870 can run Witcher 3 or gta 5 with emulators. i saw a video of a guy playing it on his oneplus

Podrías probar emuladores de PC como Winlator, Boxdroid etc

[@Null48]

well, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 with a fan "red magic 9 pro plus". what is the result?

[@HellGatyr]

8 heard mediatek dimensity 9300 is bettet performance than sd8 gen3 I really want the best for emulator

[@MulanKwok299]

for emulator, dimensity 9300 is not even better than snapdragon 732g

[@Yusei255]

Not that the model without the snap dragon 888 isnt bad, as it has been showijg i.provements.

😢😢😢 Death stranding will be soon available on the app stor. Android wtf are you doing

[@wumbo__]

unfortunately, it costs 6x more than the nintendo switch lite, not a solution to save money, although it has more functions as a smartphone
