      Luxor, 03 Nov 2018Apple and Qualcomm no longer enemies?In the consumers arena: they are. However they do some exchanges from time to time as far as I know. there are still wars between them but between us? it's patents only. the two are friendly.

                    I'm quite excited to see what new innovations Mediatek will bring this time

                      I would like to have next flagship chipset, Helio X40. For me, it is more important than 5G. Where is that 12-core CPU, that was rumored before?

                      (With core hotpluging technology, 12 cores wont cause battery problems)

                        Late next year? Thats too late. Trend and demand probably already changed by then.

                          considering the high frequencies used I can't imagine 5g being very useful. Even the 2100+ bands have problems with even penetrating a building. And forget it working in the countryside

                              That chip is HUGE!!! Doesn't sound good for battery life

                                Great! I hope that they will get out of the bad rep they got themselves.
