                    Funny this is that Samsung's own SoC is better most often than not ... so they clearly do it to suppress competion for a month or not ... does that smell illegal competition or what?

                                    not a secret as soon soon sammy can produce big scale exynos for Note & S, SD will be ditch. Why SD favor all first shipment of SD845 to sammy?

                                      What about Intel? They should build something soon, for microsoft at least.
