Perhaps likening it to a top-notch Canon or Nikon is a bit much -- we have a hard time believing that a phone is ready to replace professional-quality equipment -- but devices like the 808 PureView and the 1020 are giving some of the best point-and-shoots a run for their money. Such a possibility was a laughable concept at best a few years ago, so how is Nokia pulling it off?
Nvidia's Project Logan Brings PC Graphics to Smartphones and TabletsNext-gen chip makes massive graphics leap.by Scott Lowe JULY 24, 2013Though the first Tegra 4-enabled devices like the Shield have yet to hit the market, Nvidia is already trumping its next-generation mobile processor, codenamed Project Logan. Today the company revealed that its upcoming mobile chip will utilize the same Kepler graphics architecture found in its latest desktop and laptop GPUs, bringing graphics that exceed PS3 and rival current PCs to smartphones and tablets.FaceWorksTo show off the potential of Project Logan, Nvidia has released footage of the chip running its advanced facial animation demo "Ira," which had previously been used to demonstrate the GTX Titan — the company's $1,000 desktop GPU. While some of the demo's more sophisticated effects had to be scaled back for Project Logan, the results are nonetheless impressive. The company has also partnered with Epic Games to demonstrate Unreal 4-powered PC games running on Project Logan at this week's SIGGRAPH conference in Greece.nvidialogan_01Most importantly, Nvidia says Project Logan is energy-efficient, capable of running at levels within "the mobile power envelope" and even at one-third the wattage of current tablet GPUs, such as the A6X processor found in Apple's iPad.To learn more about how Nvidia is bringing Project Logan to life, check out the company's official blog.
Why is this even an argument? Clearly it's hierarchical... there will always be a need for something compact and portable, and there will always be a need for something of significant power where in which you won't get the same in a smaller device as much as you would like it to have that same power. If a company makes something small and powerful, another company can use that same technology and pack more power into a larger device. Following this trend, doesn't matter how far mobile technology reaches, there will always be a larger more powerful device. Remember our needs today in a mobile device will change in the future and what we consider impressive will also change.
TW and Messiaah seem to enjoy retreading the same argument ad nauseum...like 2 B14 trying to chase one another around a roundabout. This 'discussion' about as useful as a Zyklon-B roti. Samsung Galaxy Note 2 | Omega v17 | SwiftKey | Tapatalk 4 Beta
Semantics (from Ancient Greek: σημαντικός sēmantikós)[1][2] is the study of meaning. It focuses on the relation between signifiers, like words, phrases, signs, and symbols, and what they stand for, their denotation.Linguistic semantics is the study of meaning that is used for understanding human expression through language.
hahahahbuh aye aye, alyuh run us from the other threads so we made our own to continue the discussion on the rise of mobile devices.doh be fassAnd LTChiney, obviously you haven't been reading very closely because on several occasions both Messiaah and I have come to agreement.That tends to happen after much debate, fact verification, careful explanation and probably more importantly...a willingness to hear the other person's perspective.Semantics was the root cause of half of our disagreements. The English language is tricky. Messiaah could say one thing which I could completely misunderstand and vice versa.QuoteSemantics (from Ancient Greek: σημαντικός sēmantikós)[1][2] is the study of meaning.
