Anonymous, 11 Feb 2019Best chipsets are made by TSMC. Kirin 980 and Apple A12TSMC definitely make the best chip for Apple, HUAWEI and Qualcomm.

In 2015, trade secrets have stolen by former TSMC R & D director, Liang Mong-song and sold to SAMSUNG. This helped SAMSUNG win Apple's A9 chip business.

If this has not happened, I believe SAMSUNG's chip manufacturing technology will lag behind TSMC at least five years.

    So nope its Exynos, Apple's CPU's and Kirin.

            Imagine Android chips as fast as A2 or A3 but with no throttling as apple chips.
            They are completely useless for a long gaming seasions.
            Same goes to their batteries which are drained really quickly on this ocasion but takes several hours to charge them.
