Have smartphone SoCs reach a point where increasing TDP is the way forward to improve performance? On the plus side, the sub 10 mm ultra thin phones trend will be coming to an end.
Vapor chamber coming to phones soon
Generally they are fast enough now. Increasing resolution is pretty much done also. Only thing they have now is memes.
My phone has (and needs) a heat pipe. SD 810 represent. I doubt anything modern is quite as bad at creating heat in need of dissipation.
The problem is a phone is not a pc case. No matter what they do the phone is going to feel warm or even hot to the touch when under load.
A73/A75 cores are pretty good.
There's no point to raise resolution when most carriers cap at 480 or 720
will they replace the headphone jack with a vaping mouthpiece?

Why can't we just admit that things aren't going to get more powerful and just deal with that rather than all this nonsense?

>Can't put phone in pocket or you burn
>Phone put in apple thermal carry holster
>Whoops I forgot to refill the coolant tank and now my phone has melted down
>people start stealing phones not for the phone itself, but for all the copper
Why would we want to do that?
Don't worry, things won't get that far because there is still a concentration on weight.
I think there will be some major shifts in customization of the ARM process, though, as they try to squeeze performance out of the 7nm process without increasing the size of the processor too much. And even greater core counts as they try to keep performance while keeping thermals down. Two cores on opposite sides of the SoC being utilized would be easier to manage thermally than the same two cores side by side. I could even see companies doing a dual SoC design with the SoCs back to back on the PCB for blazing fast interconnects.
An increase in TDP also means an increase power draw, I don't get why they want to do this when batteries aren't likely to get any better any soon.
Never mind, it just occurred to me that they might want to shrink the chips.
just lower the voltage of your phone

A vapor chamber implementation by itself is meaningless. You must see how it is implemented. Remember CM V8 GTS? It has a Vapor Chamber, but it's performance is subpar compared to heatsinks of similar size.
With monomolecular edges for reduced air resistance.

Its not necessarily the case that high performance SoCs are using more power. The issue is that power consumption isn't falling proportionately with area, so it becomes harder to remove a static amount of heat from a smaller die.
As always there is the issue of localized heat distorting screens, and manufacturers want to avoid that at all costs.
It's probably a safety concern too, especially after the Galaxy Note PR disaster. That's a lot of heat being generated right next to a battery.
What did he mean by this?

Not sure, but it sounds like some American ISP cuckoldry to me.
Hell yeah dude.
Finally.
I'm sure the Lumia 950s have vapor chambers.
