are you sure it's not just your specific location? I just tried typing Austin in the location search box, and got several Best Buy stores with the product available for pick-up.

Hauptsache, das neue Format (bislang meist als ,,Wide Fold" bezeichnet) bekommt die S-Pen-Funktionalität, ansonsten kann ich es nur als Rohrkrepierer bezeichnen.

Sehe ich etwas anders!  Die Frage, die man sich IMHO bei dem ganzen "es drosselt, Katastrophe!" stellen sollte ist doch zunächst, wieviel absolute Leistung dann auch im gedrosselten Zustand noch da ist. Wenn es dann immer noch gut flüssig läuft reicht es doch immer noch. Und wenn das Smartphone nicht primär als  Handheld Gaming Gerät gekauft wird, sind konstant hohe FPS in anspruchsvollen Spielen  eher zweitrangig.  Wer das aber will, kauft sich, wenn er schlau ist, ein aktiv gekühltes Gaming Smartphone. Ansonsten geht's bei der vielbeschworenen User Experience doch v.a. darum, daß es schnell reagiert, es flüssig läuft, Apps schnell starten, und das Smartphone trotzdem gute lange Akku Laufzeiten hat. Mit anderen Worten, das SoC kann das Sprinten zum Leerlauf ("hurry up and get to idle" ) gut.  Gerade Apples iPhones machen das schon jahrelang so, und fahren sehr gut damit. 

QuoteTypically, a OnePlus 15 should receive security updates for six years.

If even in 2026, devices with A78 cores come out and get 6 years of software support. Imagine how long devices with cores in this Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 would get based on that? Someone wants to calculate that (ignore battery life as an argument not to give more than 6 years)? EU, time to be useful again and force makers to offer at least 1-2 models with extended 10 years of software support and easily replaceable battery.

PS: Dumb anti-spam protection doesn't allow posting when the word "ph()nes" (replaced the 0 with ()) or "smartph()nes" was used, so I used "devices".

Quote from: opckieran on April 26, 2026, 00:21:56There's NO WAY this performs close to a desktop 5060 with essentially half the power budget.

QuoteThe chip will be support up to 128 GB of LPDDR5x-8533 RAM and be manufactured on an unspecified 3 nm node from TSMC.

Gaming performance is based on memory bandwidth, let's calculate it:
N1X: 273 GB/s = 256-bit * 8533 MT/s / 8 / 1000.

Strix Halo: 256 GB/s = 256-bit * 8000 MT/s / 8 / 1000.

Basically the N1X falls into the 256-bit APU (e.g. Strix Halo (=4060 Mobile/Laptop performance)) category.

Quotethe same as the DGX Spark

Another confirmation. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackwell_(microarchitecture): same GB10 chip.

3dmark.com/search - Steel Nomad:
Strix Halo' Radeon 8060S iGPU: Average score: 2031
RTX 4060 (notebook): Average score: 2262

Memory bandwidth of a 4060 Laptop is 224 - 256 GB/s (aligns perfectly with Strix Halo' gaming performance).
Memory bandwidth of a 5060 (Ti) desktop is 448 GB/s (64% more than N1X).
Memory bandwidth of a 5050/5060/5070 Laptop is 384 GB/s.
(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nvidia_graphics_processing_units)

Based on the memory bandwidth alone, I'd agree with you. But maybe due to it being based on TSMC' 3nm node variant, a bit more of performance can be squeezed out.

But between "between an RTX 5070 and RTX 5070 Ti laptop", would be very surprising, if N1X' memory bandwidth is at 273 GB/s.

"not first at all" - those were C1 Ultra, C1 Pro, et cetera cores. This here is just "C1".
