Just because brand wants to use SoC A or B, they dont have to price phone at certain price.

Comment like yours is why we see phones with 8g2/8sg3 that have 8mp/2mp cameras, ip54, mono audio, plastic leather , usb 2.0 at $400-600.
Better having 6g1 with 1/2.5" 2nd camera, ip68, GG victus back, usb 3.1

    jerem06, 02 Sep 2024Mediatek makes A78 in 4nm with the Dimensity 7300 EnergyThat's Mediatek... Not Qualcomm..

    Mediatek started using TSMC 5nm node in their 8000 series (A78 based) 2.5 years ago. That's why we have seen 5nm/4nm in many more products since then and can expect to see it in future launches.

    Qualcomm has only used TSMC 5/4nm processors with the ARM9 architecture. At this late juncture, I doubt it is going to undertake the effort to port A78 chips to TSMC fab.

      Hemedans, 02 Sep 2024It doesn't but keep repeating things which many indust... moreOh hi, I imagined you would be here since you can't take any criticism at your beloved Samsung fabs. Again, you're wrong. Or halfway wrong. I proved you wrong months ago pulling the data from your favorite site socpk. 4nm LPE just isn't a match with TSMC 6nm.

      Now, maaaybe the latest 4nm LPP+ can be on par with TSMC 6nm. But that one is only used in a couple Exynos chips and the latest Tensor, which by the way, is going to TSMC next year. Maybe the progress came too late.

        ashrobb, 02 Sep 2024The improved nodes are only being used by the Exynos 1480 &... moreIt doesn't but keep repeating things which many industries expert say otherwise, at worst Samsung 4nm is equivalent to Tsmc 6nm, you have plenty of score to compare.

This will smoke dual A715 any day and will be much cheaper, look at Dimensity 7200 and 7300 situation. D7300 even though it has 4 big cores you can find it under $200 while D7200 with just 2 x A715 is no where around that price point.

                              1. Which Process -> TSMC L4PE is rumoured. Reason to make efficiency much better alongside 6 Gen 1 & 7s Gen 3
                              2. What's Same -> Same as 7s Gen 2 with underclocking efficiency cores or overclocked performance cores of 6 Gen 1
                              3. What's different -> 7s Gen 2 supports 144Hz while 6 Gen 3 limits it at 120Hz
                              4. What's New in it for phones -> Will Focused around INR 15000-25000/$150-$320 price range
                              5. Anything Special Happening -> Vivo V40e Indian Geekbench Listing shows 4th Variant of these family which is rumoured to be 6 Gen 2 or 6 Gen 1 Leading Version/Accelerated Edition with specs
                              4x 2.2GHz A78 & 4x 1.96GHz A55 Cores
