to be honest, they are only good on paper.. real life usage, still better to go with qualcomm.

have always been hoping one day mediatek can be on par with qualcomm, but seems like always a gap..

    At least someone dared to speak truth. Otherwise most of the users have started believing MediaTek as a new AMD

      Anonymous, 11 Jan 2021They have at least 8 chipsets that are extremely good yet no one knows about them. i can only imagine how great they are.

          Your claim about A14 not throttling much was just exposed.

                  The A14 throttles (reduces clock speeds to prevent overheating)
                  It also uses dimming of the screen to prevent overheating.
                  Every chipset does that? Which one? I did not see Snapdragon 865 losing 25% of its score on Antutu. But Apple A14 did.

                      SD888 & Exynos 2100.

                      And who in their right minds wants to use Kirin 9000 based Huawei Flagships outside of China given their current situation.

Around 300-40... moreyes, I agree, but extra power would not hurt..I think 500k would be enough to keep anybody satisfied for the next 2-3 years or until somebody released a more demanding game than genshin impact..which even makes an sd 865 ,run for its money.

                          this is good news to consumers, as mobile companies would have options on what Soc they are able to put on their phones and offer lesser prices. im not going to be suprise if Xiaomi would put their old stock for dimensity 1000 on a 199 usd phone.

                            Besides, Raw numbers are useless as there is nothing in iOS to take advantage of that chip.

                              Around 300-400k is all of the SD7xx and Dimensity 800 that will let you do what ever you want. It's enough for gaming even.

                                        Some competitors from Qualcomm, 690, 750G use 8nm from Samsung...
                                        In fact this 8nm is only a 10nm+ in term of transistors per mm2

                                        The same with 5nm...the one from Samsung has nothing to do with TSMC's
                                        TSMC's 7nm : 91MTr/mm2
                                        TSMC's 7nm+ : 110MTr/mm2
                                        TSMC's 6nm : 114MTr/mm2
                                        TSMC's 5nm : 173MTr/mm2
                                        Samsung's 10nm : 51MTr/mm2
                                        Samsung's 8nm : 62MTr/mm2 far closer to 10nm than 7nm (marketing because they were late compare to TSMC)
                                        Samsung's 7nm : 95MTr/mm2
                                        Samsung's 5nm : 127MTr/mm2...only 11% better density than TSMC's 6nm when TSMS's 5nm is 36% better than Samsung's.

                                        The higher density, the better efficiency.

                                        As Apple used 100% of TSMC's 5nm in Q4 2020 and will use 80% in Q1 2021, Qualcomm chose this fake 5nm and Mediatek chose TSMC's 6nm

                                        Beware with naming, it's more marketing than physical reality...
