COMPUTEX: World of Warcraft on Moorestown

[matt87_50]

but what's battery life like? same with tegra 2. yes, yes, the performance has been awesome, you would expect as much from intel and nvidia, but these guys haven't been making mobile processors as long, or as much, as people like ARM.

so the real question is, what is BATTERY LIFE LIKE? Efficiency is if anything MORE important than performance in these mobile devices.

Not that I really want to play games on my phone, but when it comes to choosing (OS and hardware), I am going to pick the phone that has the best gaming. Especially if you are on the road, or in a situation where you have to wait around.

If only Sony would do this with their PSP. Ditch the UMD, and add cellphone capability and a steam like app store and they would have had a winner.

WoW has been playable on other handhelds before, and even with playable framerats too with the OQO handheld device back in 2007.
Would think that in 3 years the hardware had, atleast not gotten worse 😛

It didnt run great, but it ran.'


Er right it played on a PSP, no it wasnt VNC being used to access a PC honest... erm VNC = video, not much in the way of processing, other than data throughput, I have used VNC to play a game in a different room on a pc (slower but works) its NOT being run natively like the Moorestown, they are showing what the hardware can do PRE-optimizations, the gaming market will soon start releasing droid versions of things, (Apple will likely jump all over this also very quickly when they see a market to rape)

Before you criticise, RESEARCH stuff, dont go 'yeah well [here] see this was done by x on x date' if you dont have a CLUE WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT numb nuttz
