Intel is planning to put out a 48-core mobile CPU in less than a decade ( http://www.extremetech.com/computing/139267-intels-48-core-supercomputing-smartphone-cpu-is-less-than-a-decade-away ), with the main benefit being improved energy efficiency. That being said, it may be a smart short-term business move for Qualcom to not pursue 8 core chips in the meantime, and calling everyone else stupid is a convenient way to justify that to stockholders. Myself, I would love to have excessively powerful mobile devices that far exceed the needs of the average consumer. I currently lug around a gargantuan Lenovo w530 which, for the majority of its use, is docked and closed. If I could just dock a phone with workstation-grade hardware in it, that would be much more convenient for me.

The multiplayer and graphics combined are good enough to make me feel like my purchase was warranted, and ill probably purchase dlc in the future too. With all the crappy console ports out there that don't even come close to tapping modern hardware, i'd say this purchase is a no brainer for anyone with a machine that can handle it.

I use tiemu as well with a ti-89 titanium ROM dump. The skins and keyboard mappings could be better (never figured out how to edit that stuff) but it beats carrying around a separate device when you can just run it on the same desktop/laptop you're taking your online math tests with.

Don't get me wrong, I use the binary blob on my desktop and am very satisfied with it. But on a laptop with Optimus, I wouldn't even bother trying to use VDPAU and stuff like that under Linux. You'd think if they had an opportunity to just pass the problem off to the Nouveau devs and wash their hands of it they would be all over it. As it stands, I would never purchase a laptop with an Optimus setup in it, despite the continual improvement in bumblebee that I keep hearing about.
