Amd already working on 3nm node for next gen ryzen series. Both of them will available on same year but intel looking way behind now. Still stuck on 14nm+.

    2030: Your notebook comes with an 0,000005nm CPU, therefore invisible, therefore theres no CPU, your notebook does not work, its the end of eletronics.

      Shanti Dope, 23 Dec 2020Yes that's another thing, but smaller fabrication proc... moreOnly on paper some battery hungry technology always offsets any new efficiency gains from the smaller fabrication


      Like 5g, higher performance cortex cores (X1) larger internal components (camera sensors etc)

      Probably they'll start pushing 4k displays, etc

        [deleted post]wow relax bro. It's only a phone LOL not worth having a stroke about.
        I'm saying pencil support is hardly a necessity in phones. Literally 1 model supports it (might change when s21 is out).
        Also try no to have a fit but if the s21 is going to support the spen then why keep the note line? Samsung might kill the note but not kill the spen.

            Who the hell uses a pencil on their phones? What other phone does that? The galaxy note that's soon to go extinct?
            Split screen is useless! It's available on iPad where the screen is large. For small phone is useless and u know it. Never ever used it on my android phones. Picture in picture is available but still who really cares?

              It's really all about the performance that the processor brings, which makes that particular Exynos to be a bad choice for lower mid rangers since there are SD750G or Dimensity 820 that can be found from Chinese brands in the same price range where this Exynos can be seen.

                TheAccountant, 23 Dec 2020i am more excited for graphene batteries than 15-20% faster SoCs Yes that's another thing, but smaller fabrication process also contribute to having better power efficiency of chipsets, which would also then lead to better battery life.

                  Apple has also for years split screen and best pencil support for ipads....there makes sense thanks to its bigger screen and aspect ratio
                  Stop making stuppid excuses

                    And the iPhone 37 will finally offer split screen multitasking, Pencil support, built in multi item clipboard, dedicated numbers row, symbols on keys, fix the text message deletion bug, thats been present since iOS 10.
