    My top of the line, no compromises PC built in 2016 benchmarks lower than my iPhone 15 Pro. If you’re keeping your PC that long for gaming, you’re insane.

      People have different standards, and performance isn’t everything. The Steam Deck is basically equivalent to a mid-to-high-end PC from 2016, and there are tons of people using that as their main gaming PC even docked. I like to upgrade my main rig every 3 to 4 years, but that’s well into enthusiast territory. No one I know does the same.

      My 2018 machine (9900k at 5GHz) blows every phone the fuck away, I’m for sure going to be using it in two years.

      Shit, I have a 2014 machine that’s my dedicated VR machine for anything that doesn’t need crazy power (most VR games, honestly), 4790k and a 2070s.

      What specs do you have that my phone would benchmark better than lawl

      I’d love to see what your iphone runs that makes you think it’s better than a 2016 pc.

      Yeah, I’m sure it really matters that your iphone can play subway surfers great at 142fps /s

      Edit: not sure if you can really do an accurate “benchmark” when there isn’t any games to actually compare to

        My i5-8350u laptop benchmarks slightly more than my Mi 11 lite did. Now I use a 2017 Redmi which is still fine. And I play older games on both my laptop and phone. It’s decent enough.
