x64 and x86 phones?

[Pres2Hack]

Can you offer me some x64/x86 phones if they even exist? So can I install windows like main OS and play some games on them (if they exist ofc).

ZenFone 2.

 

The processors in these x86 phones used hella power and weren't very powerful. They would struggle to run Minecraft PE. So don't even think of running desktop games.

The tech just isn’t there and you don’t want x86 for mobile phones anyway, much too inefficient.

Lol, even if you got Windows running on a phone it would probably be struggling waiting for the battery to die. You could always get a Windows tablet instead.

What about League of Legends on tablet with windows?

Windows tablets are all using Atom cpus, and I doubt they'd be powerful enough to run LoL. Unless you want to spend around $800 for a surface...

I have a Dell Venue 11 Pro 7140 with a 5th gen Intel Core M processor and I "daily drove" it instead of a laptop for 2.5 years (went back to a laptop after that). The main problem with it was I always using the keyboard because most x86 programs didn't support touch (the ones that did mostly sucked) and there were times I just wanted the tablet part (even bought a $70 case for it). Then it was getting to the point that I realised it was underpowered (heck when Windows would update in the background on battery, the CPU would turbo up too much and just shut off while I was using it) and I ended up using it for the last year and a half as a "thin-client" and would just mainly use it to remote into my desktop and "light" web browsing (even that experience wasn't ideal at times because of WiFi card driver issues (some power saving feature in Windows 10 had to be turned off, wasting more battery in the end for faster wifi)).

 

I found the CPU that tablet has, it has a Dual-Core (with Hyperthreading) Intel® Core™ M-5Y10c Processor with a base frequency of 0.80 GHz with a max turbo of 2 GHz (mine thermal throttled at around 1.5 GHz). This was a lot slower for some tasks compared to the laptop it replaced, but faster for other things probably because of the SATA 3 SSD compared to a SATA 2 hard drive (later threw an SSD in that laptop to supplement some tasks to it until I built the original version of my personal rig). For comparison that I had before laptop had an Intel® Core™ i3-370M with a base freq of 2.40 GHz. Both of them had 4 GB of Ram.

 

The price for that tablet was around the price of a midrange Core i5 laptop. Even now a current gen Microsoft Surface with a Dual-Core (with HT) Core m3 (base 1 GHz, max 2.6 GHz) and 4 GB of ram costs around $699 USD.  Whereas you could buy a laptop with 8 GB of RAM and a quad-core i5 (with something like an i5-8250U (with HT) (base 1.6 GHz max 3.4) for around $600 (it may have an HDD, but an SSD swap is only like $50-90 depending on 120 or 256 GB).

 

Personally, I bought an Acer Predator Heilos 300 last year for $1,050 (plus another $60 to put a 1TB HDD in the extra 2.5" drive bay, came with a 256 GB SSD).

 

With all that said I do have an iPad (with LTE) I carry around when I don't want to carry around my laptop, but still want something to be able to get basic computing tasks done that requires a computer (or in this case a tablet) (thanks to all the touch-screen apps on iOS (like Office 365 apps, and Chrome) that are decent and to a lesser degree TeamViewer app so I can access a Windows PC remotely (usually my main PC). When I do use my iPad its usually for note taking, email, and web browsing (and sometimes entertainment but usually I use my phone for that).

 

Just don't bother with a Windows Tablet unless you have too. Usually, they are geared towards education and business (and if someone wants their basic computing and tablet experience combined into one device but I'd rather recommend an iPad and/or a laptop/desktop).

The last CPU I heard Intel had made for phones was an Atom single core with hyper threading. It wasnt a very powerful chip. x86 is not for mobile devices like phones. Thats the reason Microsoft has been trying to get Windows to work on ARM, because ARM chips are made for this application. They have a decent level of performance for mobile phone tasks and dont use a metric shit ton of power.

Intel made a quad core Atom chip using the newer Silvermont architecture (quad core) and PowerVR Rogue graphics. Used in the Zenfone 2, on paper, this device would have been comparable to the Snapdragon 800 in graphics, and faster in cpu.

 

Not quite sure what happened in real life though. It was suggested I waited for the Zenfone 2 when I was picking my 2nd smartphone, though I opted for the G2 at the time.

Windows on a phone? Garbage^^ stick to Full size Tablets if you need Windows.

Even if you COULD Install Windows on a phone (There's a reason, Windows Mobile is dead..), you couldn't possibly see ANYTHING, because of the Pixel density. The Start Button and Desktop symbols would be maybe 1 mm² in size, absolutely impossible to even click on them.

 

And even if you could run LoL on it, you couldn't play it even with a mouse + keyboard, because the screen is so small, you couldn't hit anything.

 

If you want a Smartphone, stick to Android or iOS, everything else pretty much doesn't exist / isn't relevant at all.
