The devices I carry with me stretch from "low end 2 years ago" to "mid tier last year". Amazing how real hardware defeats your assumptions.

Even these are probably too rosy; networks hate you (also, *everyone*), devices throttle thermally, and real-world is more memory contended

One thing while I'm at it: what the heck are Android OEMs *doing*? Too many pixels, not enough L2/L3, big.LITTLE is a practical joke.

Phones need to be in balance. Other sorts of computers can get away with (some) spec chasing, but phones can't.

The industry needs an "effective MIPS per pixel" measurement that takes into account dark silicon. Headline #'s are screwing users.

This number should not allow the OEM/SOC vendor to take credit for transistors that shut down 2 minutes after using a phone heavily

Hence the "effective". If the user is actively thumbing through things for 8 minutes, then uses an app for 2, what do they get?

Sustained perf > peak perf. We need a way to measure/market the former and hold OEMs accountable to it.

fwiw, the dynamic range of performance has and will continue to grow.. a '2016 app' needs to adjust on the fly.
