mc, 05 Jun 2024Apparently the 13R was released with a 4 Plus Gen 2 (or 4G2... moreI saw this bit of information (4G2 'leading' edition being manufactured on TSMC N4P process) on Wikipedia, and tried to verify this information on the internet, but couldn't find anything at all. I am sure if there was such a large improvement in the processor, Qualcomm would have launched it with more fanfare, and would have named it 4G3 or something. Not to mention that N4P is the top-of-the-line fabrication Qualcomm is using (8G3, 8sG3, 7+G3) and it is doubtful they will be using such high-cost node for a 4-series low-end chip while using inferior fabrication process for 6 and 7 series processors (even 7G3 uses N4 which is one gen older than N4P).
It looks to me like this Leading/Advanced edition is only a slightly overclocked version of 4G2 on the same process node from Samsung. If you have any link which does say that it is manufactured on TSMC 4nm, please do share.

Not to mention that Samsung 4LPE used in 4G2 is slightly inefficient than TSMC N6 used in 4G1.
It's pretty sad that 4G1, which was a good low-end chip, didn't see much adoption, while the inferior 4G2 has got more design wins.

SD 4 gen 1 seems to be better then 4 gen 2 or at least it's gpu that was like on the SD695 as Adreno 619 and the 4 gen 2 have Adreno 613
Antutu v10 score for 4 gen 1 is around 460k and for 4 gen 2 is around 380k

Nothing is going to be explained. We already know they launch devices with minute differences for no apparent reason than to seemingly hit price points that differ by as little as even 500 INR...
