I would very much see your sources for that (I really would). Especially about Apples Neural Engine since the information about it is very sparse.

      The person said "only our money," and of course every OEM wants money, but there are some that wants not only our money but also satisfaction and great experience using their products.

          Huawei's 970 is a dedicated, separate NPU, while Apple has a VPU which takes ML tasks too. The two are very different. Samsung already has something like the Apple solution in the new Exynos 9810, but behind the 970 and will be behind the Snapdragon 845 which will distribute these tasks between CPU, GPU or the Hexagon DSP. That is why the Snapdragon S9 may have an advance in this area over the Exynos variant.

              It will force turn off when it feels like blowing? And automatically stop the charge at 80%? Svoice even got so stupid that it can only do commands or look it up on the internet. Not like before, when it could those 2 things, but also make a small conversation with you. Nah, Samsung is no longer a winner.

                  By that time huawei and apple would unviel next gen npu which will be equal if not better
