Do you think that Desktop PC's will cease to exist, due to smartphones?

[QUOTE="jprivett, post: 848690, member: 76572"] Smartphones are fun, but they are limited, purely due to their form factor. If the GPU and CPU OEMs are having a hard time producing powerhouse chipsets (16 cores @ 7nm) to perform production, compiling, and run-time tasks in the developer world, then smartphones are way out-classed. As far as gaming goes, console games would choke most phones, and then you have the RT (ray-tracing) games and media content and all their glorious eye-candy, sheesh...RIP tile-based deferred rendering. No matter if we are discussing software or hardware, I always say use the right tool or set of tools to accomplish the task. And as someone else previously stated in this thread--smartphones, laptops, desktops, and tablets all complement each other and each performs a certain necessary need. [LIST] [*]ie. I would not want to perform studio-grade video production and editing on my phone or tablet...gorilla style production sure. [LIST] [*]Even when I use a drone or a high-end camera (for work or play) those files would be a PITA to edit on a phone...dropping or cleaning up audio that I or my clients don't want in the video would be a daunting task. I would hate trying to use a spectral analyzer or parametric equalizer to scrub audio files. [/LIST] [*]Coding/scripting/programming on a phone is ok, but not when it comes to multiple class files and thousands of lines of text I reach for a 13" laptop at the least. [*]I perform minor updates to servers that I maintain from my phone but I'd rather do the heavy lifting from a desktop or laptop. [*]There are certain tasks for wireframing and even intermediate graphics creation or editing that I will start from my phone or tablet, but will finish up on my desktop or laptop. [LIST] [*]Depending on the situation I will use what I have readily available if it is a crunch situation. I have been known to walk into an Apple Store create work on one of their desktops and SFTP the file(s) via terminal out to my client or a content aggregator/CDN/server. [/LIST] [/LIST] But what do I know, this is just my 2cents amigos. -jprivett [/QUOTE]
