That's why I qualified it, dearie. XD

There will always be a segment of the absolutely-need-it market, but it's stunning over the last 30 years watching the "OMG I NEEEEEEEEEEEEED THE POWER" crowd surely but definitely realize they were just that second group with too much money to burn.

I honestly have no worries about the high-end performance. Having done chip design back in the day (ask me sometime about the 'FTL clock' (salphasic clock) I upgraded an old chip simulation system to accommodate), what they've accomplished *cleanly* in the design for frickin' handhelds is nothing short of amazing. It scales remarkably well. This is just the beginning, IMO.
