N3E is coming which will fix N3B shortcomings and future cpu from major brands will use that node.

    seriously, you should trust real usage, not b.s bulletpoints....
    to me the point is, 8GEN3 is still 4nm, which is disappointing. even samsung is switching to 3nm GAA... it's bad words, but looks like QC was lazy and greedy this year.

        pretending a 4nm 8GEN 3 could be more power efficient than a 3nm all gate around A17, I can't take that man seriously. maybe on some games, very maybe.

        very disapoiting they still on 4nm for 8GEN3 with the price they are asking. I keep my S23 with 8GEN2, will wait QC on 3nm...

          Also still 4nm, disapointing for me. Not worth updrading from GEN2, maybe next year when switching to 3nm.
          Certainly still the best non apple ARM proc anyway... especially considering power consumption. but A17 is 3nm, so apple get the point this year certainly for power efficiency, which is the most important to me, all my apps are smooth and fast enough already.

            Unless you can read between the lines, you could have done a search yourself before posting the lazy comment

            $200 would be 20% of the cost if you are paying $1000 for a phone.
            I assume low volume will pay nearer to full price than high volume seller who choose to use the chip

            Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 costs more than Apple Bionic 16 and was the most expensive chip
            8 gen 3 now tops that.

            https://www.gsmarena.com/the_new_dimensity_9200_gets_higher_cpu_clocks_17_boost_to_the_gpu-news-58502.php

            Mediatek have been very secretive on the price, so if you accept Qualcomm is the most expensive and say you wanted to pay less and get the same Mediatek is an option
            Vivo X90 and Oppo Find X6 have Dimensity 9200

            BTW not a price increase 8 gen 2 $160 8 gen 3 $200

                  When the A17 Pro released I said that the 8 Gen 3 should easily beat it in terms of efficiency, GPU power and multicore speed. Guess I was right. Singlecore the A17 Pro is still a lot faster but so far, that power is completely wasted with iOS. A 8 Gen 2 phone beats the iPhone 15 Pro Max despite being "slower" on paper.

                          sd 870 is first soc to support 8k recording at 30 fps, after that sd 888, 8 gen 1 and 8 gen 2 also do it. But why sd 8 gen 3 also support only 8k recording at 30 fps even after 3 generations of upgrade from sd 870, why it not support 8k recording at 60 fps.

                            Anonymous, 26 Oct 2023Faster than Apple? Great.Apple's lead has been caught up, no longer is the Bionic the 'undisputed champion'. Besides, with the hella faster GPU, 8 Gen 3 is better than Bionic in where it truly matters, aka gaming and animations. Bionic can lead in benchmarks, but at the end of the day who cares.
