Broadcom socs used to power samsung smartphones as well with their videocore gpu, the chips were so efficient they couldn't even generate heat under heavy load, sadly they were not good for games so they died, only used in Raspberry PIs

TsepzGP, 10 Apr 2022There really is no shortage of TI OMAP based phones that I ... moreTI Omap are lacking Innovation and Commitment for survival.... Mediatek since 2011 tried to Compete against Qualcomm by Launching Octa Core SoC but they failed Miserably to Rival Qualcomm SoC Several times... yet Mediatek opted for making budget SoC for long time... Mediatek tried to make a Flagship SoC in 2017 the Helio X series but it was a Financial disaster for them as it failed to compete with Snapdragon835... Another 2 years they released Helio G which make a successful impact in Midrange Market...the Success of G series has put Mediatek to make its Third Attempt to create Flagship class SoC again that can Rival Snapdragon....the Dimensity1200 was a huge success for Mediatek,able to Rival Earlier Snapdragon865/870 and has an Outstanding Gpu...now the Mediatek Ripped their Success from their Humble Beginnings...with the New Dimensity9000 is more Efficient while its also Powerful as Snapdragon 8gen1
The Unisoc is also suffered several bitter Losses,still they were Fully Commited in Mobile SoC market and making its Slowly Growth today although they are just starting to make success in Budget and Few Midrange Class
IT Omap could survive either as Determinated Mediatek or Die-Trying Unisoc if its willing to take risks further

I had two phones with TI OMAP chips, Galaxy Nexus and Motorola Defy. They used to make great chips.

lord5, 10 Apr 2022The Snapdragon 800 in my tab pro 8.4 is freezing crashing ... moreLOL bruh...
Not only that, but the Snapdragon 800 on MY Tab Pro 8.4 is an absolute toaster of a chip at times (and Chrome consistently crashes on it for some reason, Chrome 100)
Also a friendly advice, DO NOT INSTALL ANY ANDROID 11 BASED CUSTOM ROMs (Lineage OS or Colt OS) ON THE DEVICE (and also especially stay away from Colt OS, it basically runs the chip at full power even for mundane tasks).

I know some of these phones but not the chip. I only learned about chips in 2017 with my Xiaomi Note 4.

I was a TI fan because of their audio amplifier ics the lm3886 and tpa class d chips their OP amps and power/voltage related ics
I've used many devices in this list if only i knew it before that they were all powered by a TI chip i would have never given them
I love TI way more than tesla or apple
Thanks for increasing the love and respect for TI in my heart

Its sad that TI retired, bc if there was something where they had the upper hand was at efficiency: all those phones on that list rarely heated up and had great battery runtimes while keeping performance on check most of the time.
