Why Qualcomm would choose company A if B tells them they can do same job for 5-10% cheaper for example?

    Are you a sissy or baby that cant handel 40 Celsius temperatures? You people livd in Asian countries where its 40 degrees weather snd thst ok but when phone goes hot its not. Lmfao. Hippocrates at its finest.

      Anonymous, 04 Feb 2021This is about who offers the best price to Qualcomm. Qualcomm didnt randomly start manufacturing chips. They obviously tested them before mass production. If they had issued with quality or performance, they were aware of it, well before mass production.

        Exynos was alwaysxa better chip but deliberately Samsung made the chip lower than Shitdragon. Qualcomm gave big discounts on thier 8 series chips too Samsung, so Damdung went forvthe bait and lost more credibility on exynos

                            You were probably talking about the Xiaomi Mi 11, but that's not the only phone that will use SD 888, so you should avoid assuming every phone will perform the same, it's only February...

                                and btw that dude never tested any other sd888 devices other than sammy and xiaomi and oh still shows that sd on sammy is so superior to xiaomi
                                and ofc he's tests are all apps that doesn't provide any accuracy whatsoever so take them all with pinch of salt in terms of real life performance and most importantly the upcoming updates for apps and games will give 100% better optimization and stability
                                for example stress tests shows 60% to 80% stability but last year socs gives 99% stability which is better but when they 1st launched last year it was the same scenario with terrible stability being improved over the year so... i hope you got the point
                                these new Socs are terrific they just need better optimization

                                    dude that has nothing to do with the fabrication and the differences in transistor density or whatever doesn't make any of these issues
                                    i bet these weird claims are coming from the performance of the mi11 🤣 well to prove how wrong you are go check out vivo's device and how it's much better in performance and efficiency and heat and throttling compared to xiaomi and then you will know that these issues are from xiaomi's bad implementations and optimization of the their phones

                                    please stop spreading stupid claims without any sensible evidence . Samsung has literally been a part of making sd chips every year but just by a small percentage but only this year they took most of the orders cuz Qualcomm found their fabrication is good enough with much better costs

                                      Thx to their dictator government, which will eliminate every big growing firm/competition outside their borders 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

                                        Qualcomm, i don't know what happened with you guys. Why let Samsung manufacture the Snapdragon 888 chip? The results is an overheated an slow than your claims Snapdragon processors, it also sucks a lot of battery compared to the 865. Qualcomm should have let TSMC produce their Snapdragon chips, as their quality is trusted more and they have no issues aside from that overheated Snapdragon 821. I don't understand why Qualcomm chose samsung to manufacture it. Samsung may have purposely tuned down the performance of the 888 so their exynos 2100 can keep up.
