DMX, 29 Sep 2022even samsung abandoned its node haha ​​and google collectin... morechances are maybe samsung is more involved in design process then we think (maybe their exynos division) hence they could not use tsmc(or samsung must be cheap lol)

    you have to suffer, 29 Sep 2022please dont be manufactured by samsung 🙏🙏🙏manufacturing process is done by and under strict specs, don't matter so much ho is the manufacturer

      At least it'll keep you warm during the cold winter months, especially with the rise in energy prices.

      Good timing, Qualcomm.

        SShock, 29 Sep 2022No, it's better because it's a DIFFERENT chip, fa... moreAt least, do you aknowledge the fact that TSMC makes better performing and more efficient chip than scamsung for same priced products?

          Anonymous, 29 Sep 2022Adreno 740 is super strong, but 830 is completely overpower... more830?

            The frequency is really buffy, I wonder how cooling system will work in the new batch of flagship

              Please stop wasting time making the chips any more powerful, just make them power efficient

                Instead of 8 cores, it could use 6 cores: two bigger main, two middle and two low powered cores. 8 cores aren't necessary for desktop, how can it be for phones? I'd argue even two large main, one middle and one small core is enough.
                Aren't ryzen 3,4 and i3 not good desktop cpus? How many people carrying octa-core phones use octa-core cpus like i7 and ryzen 7 for PC? Only if common sense was more common in smartphones! More cores, more megapixels=better: the state of smartphones and their not-so-smart-fans today.

                  Hemedans, 29 Sep 2022Unless they have some magic we will have same throttling me... morethe A78 is based on armv8.x and 710's are based on armv9.

                    Vikass17, 29 Sep 2022What's different in the chip ? Other than manufacturer.Please, learn how chips are made first. This dumb idea that same chip can just be manufactured by any chip foundry and miraculously making it better just because of fab node process seriously needs to die. You can't just take SD 8 Gen1 chip blueprint designed for Samsung's fab, take it to TSMC and just expect them to make identical chip, but better because "muh TSMC" nonsense everyone keeps repeating on this page. IT DOES NOT WORK THIS WAY. Chip design is done with foundry it'll be fabbing it from very beginning. It has to be planned and chip has to be designed with particular node in mind.

                      Hemedans, 29 Sep 2022Unless they have some magic we will have same throttling me... moredon't worry that most iphone users don't take advantage of such performance, tik tok, whasapp and some other messaging app don't use even 20% of that soc in terms of performance, the same for common android users

                        Adreno 740 is super strong, but 830 is completely overpowered.
                        Huge difference

                          Hemedans, 29 Sep 2022Just upgrade sd 870 cores to A78 and overclock it to 3.2ghz... moreis what google should have done, and set aside treasure this year!

                            Vikass17, 29 Sep 2022When did A720 even came out? And why use 2 A710 when it go... moreCortex A720 does not exist... And has never been announced.

                            Actually with snap 8 gen 1(and +) :
                            Cortex X2 + cortex A710 + cortex A510

                            Has been teased by ARM:
                            Cortex X3
                            Cortex A715 (successor of A710)
                            A510 "refresh"

                              The Fold 4 beat the iPhone 14 Pro Max on phonebuff's speed test. If only the iphone has 8gb of ram... close fight tho

                                Vikass17, 29 Sep 2022Just make sd870 on tsmc 4nm and rename it sd875. Good for ... moreJust upgrade sd 870 cores to A78 and overclock it to 3.2ghz, then overclock adreno 650 to 900mhz you have soc which can rival today flagship soc.

                                  Unless they have some magic we will have same throttling mess, just seeing A16 in iphone 14 pro max can sustain 92% in cpu perfomance made me jealous of ios users,

                                  Those A710 cores are failure why use them again? Why not using even cortex A78? Are Oem and Google so deperate to ditch 32bit?

                                  Just Hope we will have atleast upper midrange soc with A715/A720 with flagship gpu.

                                      Just make sd870 on tsmc 4nm and rename it sd875.
                                      Good for midrange.

                                        When did A720 even came out?
                                        And why use 2 A710 when it got improved as A715?
