Anonymous, 25 Aug 2018Should the first gen of 7nm chips be avoided?I dont think so because when 10 nm chipsets were introduced everone accepted them so whats problem with 7 nm ones

Intel has no play in the smartphone market. Do you really want Qualcomm to dominate this industry like Intel did in PCs?

Anonymous, 23 Aug 2018That should be around Apple's A-series such as the A11 bionic?Don't exaggarate. A cortex A75@2.8GHz squeezes out 2400 points in Geekbench. The upcoming A76 is x1.33~ of that. So it should rest around 3.2k Single core (2400/3=800x4=3200)

Waiting for Snapdragon 900 and 5G connection. Also 16GB ram will be cool.

Snapdragon always do better, Kirin 980 next year will be a beast for sure but Snapdragon and Exynos will kill it performance wise.

Qualcomm is always late to the parry. The Kirin 980 takes the cake this year with the behemoth chipset! :D

Kangal, 23 Aug 2018Dear GSMArena,
Please amend this article. Qualcomm did N... moreNot all chips are equal so Intel and TMSC have nothing in common when it comes to nodes implementation. Heck even AMD's 7nm has nothing to do with Intel's upcoming 7nm. That would be like saying Canon didn't release a 40megapixel camera so they must be behind.
Intel is pursuing server market and their 10nm nodes do quite well and will sustain for a few more years. They've been polishing 10nm and it's showing improvement and having no competition really helps.
On the other hand Intel is one giant evil company to whom I wish all the worst.

A revamped name.
So Snapdragon 845 will be the last 4G top chipset.
I hope this will make Snapdragon 835 price will cut into $200 phone.

Dear GSMArena,
Please amend this article. Qualcomm did NOT confirm where their wafers are coming from.
We know TSMC has already made batches of 7nm and has them shipped to Apple and Huawei. We do not know if Qualcomm received any.
The reason I say this is because Qualcomm have signed an exclusivity deal with Samsung back in 2015, and that contract expires in 1H'19. So either Qualcomm has to break the contract with Samsung, which incurs early-termination fees, and pay an expensive sum to get TSMC's samples. Or it means Qualcomm managed to get some 7nm wafers from Samsung instead. Samsung is working on it, and they already have their 7nm done... their issue is yields.
This is in-contrast to Intel, they do not have a "low yield" problem... they have a full-blown manufacturing issue in their fabrication. That's why it has been delayed way back from 2016 to at least 2019 and maybe 2020. And even worse, Intel's +10nm lithography is a little worse than TSMC's 7nm and Samsung's 7nm (from what we postulate). So not only are they behind in the economics but they're behind in the technology as well... which bodes awful for a company that boasts about being a leader, has massive marketing departments, much thicker profit margins, and have an over-inflated stock valuation. The worst part is they'll simply fix their issues "late but not never", make massive layoffs, reduce their marketing budget, and take the stock-fall hit which will only hurt small investors (as the whales move before the worst plummets). See Elop/Nokia for a classical demonstration of this move!!!

Kiyasuriin, 23 Aug 2018Kryo 4XX series. It'll have around 3.2k Single core and 11k... moreguess that their CPU performance will be killed by Kirin 980 , yet their GPU performance will swipe the floor with whatever the GPU that will be there in Kirin 980 , happy to see a great competition between chipset companies in all segments .

Haha just in time for Samsung to sign up a deal of the first batches for the S10 or SX.
Stand by for all the complaints lol
