For being over 20 years later, it is VERY impressive seeing PS2 games look so good! And on a flipping phone!

[enterthekyuubi]

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.

We are now living in very good time when it come to gaming emulation on Android phones. Even mediatek g99 and Snapdragon 860 can eun almost everything perfectly by now already much less these newer and strongest processors.

[Gabilleta]

Waiting to see how the RedMagic 9 Pro will fare with the SD8G3 considering it has much better passive cooling and active cooling. That thing will be a gaming monster

[laminnabam]

GTA V with highest graphics on android isn't too far off into the future now.😌

[Garrettdx]

I'd like to see sustained performance on some of these harder to run games. Like, can it maintain 60 fps at 4x for a half hour?

[TonyDrecaps]

I love how much better the phone chips are getting for emulators

[Broxbhoy]

3:18 Been a follower of yours for a good number of years now and I can tell and also hear the excitement about God of War and how it's handling. I'm pretty sure in a very old emulation test video you said something along the lines that this game might never run at full speed on an emulator on a smartphone. I can remember the game stuttering and freezing, dropping frames and being almost unplayable most of the time. Amazing how fast technology advances and continues to !! 👍

SD Gen 1 4nm (samung)
SD Plus Gen 1 4nm (tsmc)
SD Gen 2 4nm (tsmc)
SD Gen 3 4nm (tsmc)
SD Gen 4 3nm (tsmc)
it's amazing how much they improved performance on the same node but Gen 4 is gonna be crazy good.

I wish we would see hardware like this in a box I can connect to my TV.

[neliaironwood]

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.

[arcaderacer]

Im waiting on the snapdragon gen 4 so I can run my games at 18x resolution on my 1080p screen

[Chris.in.taiwan]

My recommendation for anyone on a Snapdragon gen 1/2: skip this one! It's just about 10-20 percent faster and the Snapdragon gen 4 will bring new CPU cores and drop the little cores completely.

[mheshd]

Hey ETA, I bought a N100 Mini PC because of you recently and it's one of the best decisions I've made. I only turn my workstation on when I actually have to work now. Awesome.

[X-reapergaming-X]

My Odin 2 also does PSP God of war at 10x without any problems

[albyintro]

A console with a Gen 3, wired to a tv, would be an absolute emulation monster

[LaurentCourtin]

I'm still waiting to see these CPUs in a small desktop PC to get a clear idea. So far we're still stuck with CPUs with a lot less power. I don't think we even got a desktop PC with a 480 or 680 to give SBCs a run for their money.
Rockchip are nice for SBCs or TV boxes, but you see their limits real fast.

[munnumkhalid]

with china playing catching up game, other parties are trying to gain as much gap as possible. giving us the consumer the benefits. or otherwise they would have been milking us with low real benefit chipsets every year,

[vncube]

Thank you for including the *actual* render resolutions of the games you emulate. It gets annoying when other reviewers gush over "the deivce can go up to 10x upscale" when that number means nothing.

[jonnir]

I think, finally, the best chip for playing all emulators in HD has arrived ! 2x resolution and even if you want to push it to the limit 3x resolution is enough for smartphones.

Thank you ETA for testing!
