      So, this will be the direct competitor of the Dimensity 8100 no?
      I am curious to see the prices of the phones with these chipsets. Usually, snapdragon powered phones are a little more expensive. Also, a direct comparison of these two chipsets will be nice.

        With your useless "xD"...

          Qualcomm has literally locked OEMs in 4 year contracts

          Forced bundling their 8 series with other mid range chips

          And have clauses that have penalties if they use other oem chips..

          Qualcomm has disobeyed FRAND rules and have literally faced fines for such practices

          I'm not sure why people assume companies buy products like how consumers walk up in the grocery isle and choose the best fruit

          That's not how these things work contracts contracts contracts

              Anonymous, 20 May 2022Sd 7 gen 1 > mediatek 8000 1) Cheaper 2) New A710 A510... moreNewer = better is poor logic

              The A78 and older A5 cores are easily more efficient

              Not sure.how you concluded that this is more efficient...

              The 7 gen 1 is running on Samsung NM process... So that is yet to be proven

              8000 and 8100 eats this up for breakfast

                Are they still using SS 4nm to save their money and leave customers with over heating?

                    Even the SD 778G has better light.

                      While Mediatek improved a lot in recent years but still lack in many Areas.

                      Good example is Mali Gpu, its not just Mediatek but all soc which use Mali GPU have bad Open Gl drivers, this cause problems in Games which doesnt have Vulkan support, especially Emulators.

                        So no mention of CPU performance improvement?
                        Cortex A78 or A710?
                        4k60 or 4k30 Video recording?

                        This article didn't answer any of these.

                                      Anonymous, 20 May 2022Power efficency vs 778?We'll see. Hopefully this isn't a repeat of just "add more power" which would hurt sustained performance.

                                      Also, the SD778 was fabbed by TSMC, so hopefully SD 7G1 is as well.
