Still qualcomm is a lot better than throttling cpu for apple.

Looks interesting but as long as the throttling of Apple phones and battery degrading is called a feature Snapdragon will be always a lot better CPU.

Me before me, 09 Oct 2019No. 5nm should be the smallest theoretical maximum size. It... more5nm with stacks or carbon nanotubes?!

Anonymous, 08 Oct 2019where the hell is 5nm???Process shrinks are getting more and more complex and expensive as physical limits draw closer. The low hanging fruit is gone, so slower progress is reasonable.

six_tymes, 08 Oct 2019+++ What happened to 5nm? I read they were to go from 7nm+... moreHalf nodes happen sometimes. 55nm was a half node between 65nm and 45nm, for example. 40nm was a half node between 45nm and 32nm. Wikipedia's Die Shrink page has a section on it.

The next qualcomm snapdragon after the 865, the 875 will be based on 5nm soc.

What happened to 5nm? I read they were to go from 7nm+ to 5, not to 6. Maybe foundries are finding out that 5nm is too difficult and costly?

The last Oracle, 08 Oct 2019I an waiting for these to start competing with present top ... morestart competing with present top end i7 and i9 processors? Ryzen 3000 series are already doing that and they're equal or a bit better than Intel for a fraction of the price. Please, help the underdog out. Intel and GloFo deserved it badly for now.

I an waiting for these to start competing with present top end i7 and i9 processors, especially for video editing. I guess an important part of it all will also be way faster memory.
I hope we have professional video editing tablets with upto 32Gb RAM and atleast double the processing power of the A12x Bionic processor. Also the graphics card would need a serious overhaul.

elbot1234, 08 Oct 2019im going to buy a phone until it comes in -99 nm process !1 or 1.5nm is the smallest you can theoretically go, you might wanna wait for CARBON NANOTUBES! Or die stacking... V-V

I hope Nvidia's RTX 3080 TI only costs $999 and has the power to go 4K 144hz and 1440p 60fps when Real Time Raytracing is on.
