Early, no free lunch for sure, but check this out: Remarkable, given the same 28nm fab. Fairy dust for sure.
This is from that anandtech.com article you linked above, so I'm sure you've read it already. Would have been nice for this monster to have been pushing all those extra pixels.
Now we wait patently forthose snacks Steven is briningthe announcement and some good hard reviews.
They seem to have concentrated on graphics throughput and efficiency. I wouldn't be surprised if a version of this made it into TVs and set top boxes.
If their existing 1440p counterpart (forgot the model number) is doing well (aside from satisfying gamers) with the 801, then I don't expect any changes here, now or downstream.
If others are successful with 805 Prime models, it seems reasonable that LG will follow suit. When top models were released once a year, you had to either switch brands or wait a year for some important improvement. Now, it seems you don't have to wait as long.
For 4 years, my phone has freed me, bit by bit, from dragging a laptop around for work. Since 2012 the change has been significant for me. Even in the office, I often schedule Exchange calendars on my phone because it's faster and easier than with Outlook. I'm not looking for gaming performance or 1440p, I just want to check out something new. This could be it for me.
If you care about gaming and 1440p, maybe an 805 version will be a better choice.
Good choices to have, good for us imo.
Meanwhile, I think that Steven got nervous trying to decide and ate all of our snacks!
