      and please, if you are a hardcore gamer, there are devices for that...not flagships phones...the target are not gamers. and if you are a hard core gamer in a smartphone..get a life...

              What a load of bull. First of all the cortex a77 has not been announced yet,if you're talking about the latest cortex series core that arm announced,then that would be the cortex a77 which was announced a few weeks back. The cortex a77 does not exist and hasn't even been shown to the public in any way at the moment.

                      Obviously fake news, the next chip is a76 and it will still be Mali. But definitely coming at ifa they said that at the nova 3 launch.

                        I'll just wait for Kirin 1000.

                          Either one of two things:
                          1. Huawei already got their hands on Cortex-A77 tech before anyone else and will use it on their SoCs. This one sounds unlikely, but heck, anything can happen on the world of tech.
                          2. They just made a typo and it's actually Cortex-A76. They forgot to proofread and didn't realize their Booboo. This one sounds like more realistic scenario.

                          Hopefully, it'll be faster than SD845. Can't wait to see it on their Mate 10 and P30 series. Although I'm still on the fence whether I'll be picking up the Pixel 3 (the 5.4" one) or the P30 (if they release it).

                          Just one question: Did the Cortex-A76 and the A-55 fix those SoC issues namely Meltdown and Spectre?

                            Most likely a false rumour, there's no Cortex-A77.

                                      It blows it out of the water!, fyi cortex a77 cores are the ones that the galaxy s10 will use next year!
