Rog Phone 5S, do not worry!

Don't worry guys, the Rog 5S is not an improved version, it's the same throttling, buggy mess that you have just with a slightly overclocked CPU, which literally makes 0 difference since the GPU is the exact same clockspeed, so in terms of your performance you will not see a difference between the Rog5 and Rog5S, infact this is just a marketing stunt so ASUS can milk the Rog phone until Samsung kills off the gaming market with their AMD GPU.
Without the cooler the Rog5S will literally throttle 40%. Yes boys and gals, we look at a whooping 40% performance decrease without cooler, so you better strap on that cooler and only lose around 5%-10% on sustained load.
I truly think the Rog5 is the last gaming phone from ASUS since they cannot compete with the AMD chip coming up in 2022.

And to further prove his claim,allegedly it can only perform 66% stability on 3d mark,and videos about this are out there
It indeed seems that this is all a last resort of Asus to get some money out of their Rog lineup before the gaming market gets wrecked by the AMD exynos in a few months,and rest assured,other gaming lineups will also give up

Absolutely agree with that
Rog 5s just a gimmick. SD 888+ have better performance than SD 888 but worst throttle management and more heat
Samsung x AMD will destroy ASUS and snapdragon because their 3d mark score reach 8.134 and if they do antutu they will reach more than 1.000.000 score
SD 888+ only reach 830.000 point and I am very sure they won't be able to reach 1.000.000 point with SD 895
Let's what's their strategy to counter Samsung x AMD next year

The problem is.... There are quite a few apps that run very well on Snapdragon. Like I use emulators a lot like ppsspp, so unless if they update their app the performance of the and processor might not help.

Take a look at Samsung exynos variant. It was horrible with some of my favourite emulators
