Offering Netflix for games on iOS for something like $50 a month would turn the games industry on its head.
Who the hell is going to pay $50 a month in addition to all the other content one subscribes to?
You mean as in "rolling on the floor laughing"?
I’m not sure why you’re having trouble comprehending this. Processors can be tested and their results quantified. The proof is in the countless benchmarks and tests that have been done on the Tegra X1 over the years.
The Radeon Vega 56 is just as fast as the new Nvidia 2080i, BTW.
You know how Apple fans love to claim that iOS is so efficient it runs better with 3 GB RAM than Android phones can with 8 GB?
Well the Switch is far more efficient for games than iOS and still uses 4 GB
iOS devices have no chance to compete
Why would anyone pay a monthly fee to play crappy mobile games?
Irrelevant. You can’t get blood from a stone. It doesn’t matter how “efficient” the Switch software might be - it can’t magically make the GPU render more pixels or the CPU crunch numbers faster than it’s capable of.
Benchmarks are designed to get down as close to the bare processor as possible and tests its capabilities regardless of the OS. People like to (falsely) claim Apple processors benchmark faster because of iOS being more efficient, in some pathetic attempt to downplay Apples superiority in mobile processor design. If Android was ported over to the XS Max it would still be smoking fast because of the A12 processor.
where have you been? did you forget that this site is machater.com? everything apple does is a failure.
Exactly, yet Apple requires all aTV games to work with the remote. That's why it was DOA as a gaming platform.

This exactly. A monthly fee to play console/pc games with a decent number of AAA titles would be a hit much like the service Microsoft already runs. But mobile gaming? Why bother?
Benchmarks are worthless. They test basic calculations not useful ones. That's why iOS is slower in real life than Android despite Apple's "superiority".
Here's an Android phone beating an iPhone that cost twice as much. You can find many more examples. Apple cut corners on RAM.

Radeon Vega 56 from 2017? BS. It’s on par with a nvidia 1070. It does not in any way challenge a 2080.
The Vega 65 can’t match a 1080ti, so the Vega 56 won’t match a 2080, which ( 2080 ) benchmarks around the same performance of the 1080ti.
The Vega GPUs were extremely disappointing - lacking against the 10xx range and ran hotter.

Gamers spend well in excess of $50 a month usually on one game. It's nothing.
You really had to quite the whole post for that comment?
So people still play lots of games on the phone?
More lies. Benchmarks are the most important way to measure performance. It's been that way almost as long as computers have existed and there was more than one to compare.
The only reason Android fans "invented" these stupid App Races (oh look - just what you linked) is because they're getting sick of having their back sides handed to them by Apple over and over. Android fans will NEVER show a device actually doing something inside an App because they always lose.
Man are you behind the times. That was true in the beginning, but because of the backlash Apple removed that requirement and you're allowed to make games that require an actual controller. Making your game work with the Apple TV Remote is now optional.
I was waiting for @apolloa to answer. Of course the Vega 56 is nowhere near a 2080. There are actual benchmarks and tests that prove this beyond a doubt. Just as there are benchmarks and tests that prove Apples A-Series processors are way beyond the Tegra X1 used in the Switch. I was curious how he'd reconcile using benchmarks to declare the 2080 as much faster than a Vega 56, but discount benchmarks that show the A12X is much faster than an X1.
That may change soon with servers running the game and streaming video
Nintendo should hire you. Guess you know more about the importance of synthetic benchmarks over real world GPU performance and building game consoles than they do.
AMD should hire you. I'm sure with a little tuning and optimization you can make their Radeon video cards outperform an Nvidia 2080.
Better yet, Qualcomm or Samsung should hire you. God knows they could use the help considering how their processors are waaaay behind Apple.
So tired of facking subscriptions! Can't even buy a photo-editing app. No, they'd rather I subscribe monthly.
