jamalu96, 02 Dec 2020Why A15? A14, Kirin 9000, Snapdragom 888, Exynos 2100 are ... moreA14 is chip for 2020.
888 is chip for 2021.

Simple/obvious reason

    It is worth remembering that i came still came the MT6895 flagship of Mediatek the Dimensityxxxx that will have architecture similar to Snapdragon with set of newer instructions of 5nm and greater capacity of transitors, Mediatek performed miracle in the ram memory management in the MT6893 that managed to deban the exynos 1080 and the Sd865 respectively in maximum score, being only behind the Kirin 9000 , but this 6nm chip is medium-sized and mediatek flagships will still be announced in the 1st quarter of 20It is worth remembering that i came still came the MT6895 flagship of Mediatek the Dimensityxxxx that will have architecture similar to Snapdragon with set of newer instructions of 5nm and greater capacity of transitors, Mediatek performed miracle in the ram memory management in the MT6893 that managed to deban the exynos 1080 and the Sd865 respectively in maximum score, being only behind the Kirin 9000 , but this 6nm chip is medium-sized and mediatek flagships will still be announced in the 1st quarter
    2021 and promises to use 1+3+4 architecture using 1x Cortex x1+3 Cortex A78+4 Cortex A55
    Let's wait for the Next chapters, with Qualcomm selling the Sd865 as a 2020 flagship in 2021 for more than $170, while Mediatek's more powerful MT6893 will come out as a mid-sized chip for half the price 🤗

        So much technology and so many technical things to just use the phone for facebook. whasapp, tw, ect etc and watch the odd video on youtube, in short, things you can do in a Snapdragon 820 without problems and add to this an increase in prices next year

          The king is here. Finally

              The throttle crown has been passed over to the A14.

                You just say that coz you hate all Chinese brands with all the passion one can have.

                The pixel 5 despite having stock Android was getting embarrassed with stuttering in heavy tasks while last year's Snapdragon 855 based Chinese flagships like Realme X2 pro, Redmi k20 pro were performing ultra smooth without breaking a sweat.

                Mid-range chip is called Mid-range for a reason.

                  Finaly Qualcomm beated apple and every other CPU maker by several light years.

                    Tara Kennedy, 02 Dec 2020Exynos 2100 will be the hottest and most throttling chip Sa... moreExynos 1080 already is on par with sd 865 and samsung calls it midrange chip. So clearly exynos 2100 will be the beast and most powerful chip. But here is the problem, they have clocked cortex x1 to 3.1 ghz compared to 2.8 ghz on sd 888. So clearly it will have heating and throttling issues like a14. But this is just cpu and in gpu, it is unlikely they will surpass adreno 660. And in AI and ISP, there is no rival to sd 888. In short, sd 888 will still be the best chip of 2021 if not powerful .

Dimensity 1000 is like around SD855+ if even that. And never mind the point that Mediatek will probably beat dragon in some point and still cost half the dragon.

                        The all rounder has arrived. Now it is upto 15 brands how many tricks they want to play with it. Next year android flagships will do such things as never seen before. I hope more android brands make gaming tablets. Camera on 2021 flagships will cross 140 on dxomark in masses.

                          Tara Kennedy, 02 Dec 2020Totally useless garbage chip - it's all just paper spe... moreYes it will be nearly the same as the SD865 if you only use the phone for calls and texts.

                              King is coming. A14? Exynos? MediaTek? Kirin? Dragon will fire them all.

                                Truth, 02 Dec 2020Sad to say exynos 2100 will be the fastest soc in 2021 its ... moreExynos 2100 will be the hottest and most throttling chip Samsung ever made.

                                But yeah in a couple of minutes it will be the fastest chip ever and then it will be worse than the E990 chip due to thermal throttling degrading performance..

                                  Totally useless garbage chip - it's all just paper specs. In real life usage it won't be any different from Dragon 865+ chip. It will be 99,9% similar to the performance of the 865+ chip.

                                    Not much spice since 845. Miss those days when Snapdragon upgraded chips per digit, like 800, 801, 808 etc. These days from 845 onwards, it all looks like numbers play.
