Pumpino, 01 Dec 2021Hopefully it's more efficient, cheaper and runs cooler... moreYap, staying with 870 as of right now. Will wait until Snapdragon use Nuvia core and TSMC process. I change my phone every 3 year so it will be in line when it comes.

      Pumpino, 01 Dec 2021Hopefully it's more efficient, cheaper and runs cooler... moreNo CPU is cheaper than previous generation.
      Also, there is semicon issue caused by pandemic. It is obviously gonna cost even more than it would be in a normal year.

      It is not the CPU that makes phones cost over $1000. That's all the rest of hardware.

        George95, 01 Dec 2021Should I also stick to Exynos 9810 (bad version of SD 845)?... moreavoid any scamsung chipset, including qualcom made by scamsung

          Hopefully it's more efficient, cheaper and runs cooler than the SD888. I think the SD780, SD870 and Dimensity 1200 were better in that regard.

              AnonF-1013367, 01 Dec 2021LOL, this chip is released 2 months after a15, what are you... moreIt is a chip to power 2022 phones.
              A15 is used by 2021 phones.

                Anonymous, 01 Dec 2021Get one with SD750. New sd778 plus variant is equal in power to sd855 and it one of the most stable chip. I mean non plus version is.
                So why recommend to downgrade?

                      Cant wait to see those silly people waiting for the Plus version with X2 clocked at 3.1, which makes zero difference and no benefit.

                            Not A15. Not A15. Not A15.

                            Those who care about useless benchmark can sit in the corner and cry.

                              This new QC chip is actually pretty special, and quite a leap forward compared to past generations. If phone manufacturers actually use the tools that QC are offering, then 2022 could be a great year for phones.

                                      As a rule of thumb, skip buying until TSMC makes flagship Qualcomm chip. Stick to 865/870, or even 855
