[deleted post]I'll be interested to see what they do after 5nm ...

      845 and exynos be like
      ~ Whoooaaaaa ~

      With A12, apps will be opened even before you want it to. Too fast.

            And Intel is still stuck at 14nm

              HAHAHAHAHAHA Qualcomm is so far behind!
              845 can't even beat the A9 in Single Core, 9810 is barely beating the A10 Fusion in Single Core.
              Come on, Intel. Please come back to mobile world and start giving these greedy chipmakers a proper competition to give us better products for how much they're asking for,

              I am surprised that TSMC beat Samsung!

                Great move from Apple, they go to smaller die size after the competition adopted them, but 5his time they are ahead with the smaller die size, next year is 7+ Process, so we may not see significant gains as this year

                The future will be interesting because the die size will gey smaller and smaller and we will even break the 1 Nm mark and we will move to micrometre markings
