Qualcomm Introduces Snapdragon G3x Gen 1 Gaming Platform to Power a New Generation of Dedicated Gaming Devices

I'm perfectly aware of the limits of these products (Steam Deck, Aya Neo etc) and i justify them but i don't understand why they don't implement adaptive refresh rate to make the experience smoother.

Probably due to low availability of suitable displays supporting it? FS/VRR doesn't have much use on a 60Hz display anyway, as most off-the-shelf LCDs can't handle refresh rates below ~48Hz reliably. Still, I entirely agree that this would be a fantastic feature for this class of product. A Steam Deck with a FreeSync 800p120Hz OLED? That would be a dream. No, it won't run many games at 120Hz, but that wouldn't be the point either - the flexibility would be the point.

Wow still rocking old architecture rather going with X2 and 710 cores on ARM v9. I would have liked to see two SoC, one rocking 6 X2 cores and 4 710 cores for higher end thin laptops and 4 X2 cores, 2 710 cores for ultraportables and maybe even a 2 X2 and 4 710 version for high end tablets.

@Minus Infinity that would be interesting.
