Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

For “Overwatch”, its framerate on menu screen is 120fps, 80fps when walking in the map, and a stable value of 50-70fps when in during matches, with an average of 83fps;

50fps is not bad at all, why are they making themselves seem like lovely liars by including the menu framerate in the average?

I have no idea how hot it gets, but it plays real PC games. I mean, it runs windows 10. (Although the integrated graphics is a little concerning.)

:allears: For a certain definition of run, sure.

Checking notebook check, you can run such amazing games as:
Assassin's Creed Origins! at 7 fps on low + 1280x800
Doom 2016 at a whooping 13 fps! On low of course.
Farming Simulator 2017 can do 70fps though, on low.

And the most important part.

quote:

* Testing resolution: 1280×720. Unless otherwise stated, the game uses low special effects.

“Grand Theft Auto 5” maximum settings at 38fps;

They claim it can run GTAV


But according to notebookcheck ( https://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-HD-Graphics-615.174029.0.html )
The exact same gpu could only run GTAV at 20fps, on low, at 1024x768.

They claim DOTA can do ' “DOTA2” maximum settings at 70fps; '
While notebookcheck claims 50-60fps on low. 12-25 on ultra.

Apparently this device is so amazing that despite getting shoved into a smaller form factor than a laptop, they somehow get nearly 2x as much performance out of a terrible integrated gpu as you would otherwise.
But what's this? " Complimenting the m3-7y30 CPU cores, the m3-7y30 also features 9th generation Intel® HD Graphics 615 with 24 EU execution units and a maximum dynamic frequency of 900MHz. "
Amazing, they get over 2x the performance, despite it only having 85% of the clockspeed compared to the notebookcheck benchmarks? ( 1050Mhz.)

Obviously an amazing bargain and a marvel of engineering. Not blatant misinformation at all.

I imagine it could be used as a portable emulator machine though, if you were to simply ignore any of the probably billions of android powered units that can do that, and are already on market.

My OP was half-joking of course, however, there are youtube videos of a dude playing a lot of recent games at framerates well above 30fps (although at pretty low settings) including Doom 2016.

While I definitely understand the sentiment, Kickstarter and it's ilk are generally a non-stop barrel of scams, misleading claims, exaggerations and incompetence and there are no shortage of examples as to why you should view any claims made - especially for a device that may not physically exist in it's final production-ready form yet - with skepticism.

GPD is a surprisingly not-lovely company for the products they make, which is shocking because it's some random Chinese outfit. I have the GPD XD and it's been fantastic for its quality. I was bummed that I got my XD soon before news of the XD+ is being released, which should be capable of playing PS2 games. Anyway, as far as emulation goes, it's the best handheld device for it now, and it plugs right into your TV and you can use it as a console. No set up required except for pressing a couple buttons.
