"Convergence is going to happen"

Interesting concept. How's my theoretical phone of the near future going to handle being asked to run something like Fallout4 ?

Is the docking station going to come with an SSD? The game is 30GB. Will there be a seperate processor and cooling system? Even with liquid nitrogen a phone's circuitry isn't going to handle the task. Perhaps there'll be an nvidia GTX1080 in there too to support high framerate, high resolution displayport/HDMI2 output?

At that point where's the convergence? Your docking station would be a desktop with a phone plugged into it for no reason at all.

Give me a proper desktop and a fast USB port to sync my phone and I'll have all the "convergence" I'll ever need.

Wait... We already have that?

Viva la future.
