If the claimed increase in performance is true, I'm very glad Qualcomm is being knocked down a peg!
Nice figures. This has always been ATI's sweet spot well before they were bought by AMD, so it's good to keep the trend going. The number of consoles/gadgets/devices powered by ATI/AMD for the graphics chip is quite impressive.
The irony is Qualcomm has Adreno graphics,which is a anagram of Radeon!Originally Posted by Tabbykatze
I had somehow completely missed that, now it seems so obvious. I guess it's because I wasn't looking for it though that it didn't jump out at me.
ATI sold their mobile graphics division to Qualcomm a long time ago.

I guess AMD is back in business.. maybe cheaper phones now too?
Ah, that explains it then. I hadn't been aware that they had ever had a mobile graphics division.

Actually it seems it was AMD who sold them to Qualcomm after they bought up ATI,which in hindsite was a shortsighted move!

Naturally there are anagram generators on the Internet.

This one is backed by dictionaries:
"Create anagrams in Danish, English, French, German, Italian, Norwegian (bokmål and nynorsk), Spanish or Swedish."
My favourite one is this French word
aronde 1. (archaic) swallow (bird)
Fast and light for mobile phones?
Or Italian
denaro 1. money (from Latin dēnārius as any Asterix reader should know)
For what Samsung will have to hand over to AMD?
After AMD bought ATI, they were in a tight position.
They seemed the mobile sector dead weight (this was just before mobile sector really took off with smart phones).
In hindsight, they would have been mega rich now, but can't turn back time or see future.
Possibly, but you can't do everything and perhaps Qualcomm made good use of the IP because it was a key part of their core product.
Compare that to Nvidia who have been failing to sell Tegra chips in significant quantity for a long time now. Other than the Switch, I don't think any of the Tegra products really took off (though I have a few, and they were all pretty good to use, even the HTC One-S wasn't bad though it did get rather hot).
Yeah, there's that too. ATI obviously suffered too as resources had to be stretched far too thin, across various markets.Possibly, but you can't do everything and perhaps Qualcomm made good use of the IP because it was a key part of their core product.

Intel almost killed them too with their illegal practices, but that's a whole separate story.
It depends on the power consumption.
In the mobile space, it has to be equal or better than what it replaced
Indeed. There is a reason why Nvidia's Tegra failed in phones. I had a white HTC One-S, and parts of the plastic case discoloured it got so hot
