                  Intel/AMD is the best example.

                    Stop making your chips relatable. You'll never be close to Snapdragon chips nor Apple chips! You're just being obsessed and delusional that you're on par with apple while you are not!

                      What stopping them from asking TSMC to make their Exynos, perhaps they could include some technology transfers in the agreement to help their own foundry in the future. It might bruise their ego a little bit, but it's better than leaving Snapdragon get comfortable at the top of the helm. They're charging way to much now 'cause they know brands wouldn't have much choice.

                      And soon, Android flagships are going to be even more expensive than the Iphones or stay stagnant in other hardware department to compensate the rising cost of SoC.

                          I prefer snapdragon any day, but qualcomm is getting cocky with the prices.

                          Exynos 2400 wasn't terrible performance wise, efficency however is a different story (it was meh).

                            I feel like the best outcome would be Snapdragons across the S25 lineup, and Exynos 2500e for the S25 FE. That way Samsung gets to continue improving their chips so that there is competition against Qualcomm. But buyers are not forced to accept a lower quality chip depending on the place of purchase. S25, S25, S25ULTRA: Snapdragon. S25FE, maybe Tab S10 Fe? : Exynos.

                              Because the Chinese use the better chip, while samsung stuck at their home chip

                                Leave the production batches to sell to Google rebranded as Tensors...

                                  Yesss. I hope this is true. They can't match Snapdragon. Put your crappy Exynos in your low to mid range phones only

                                    I'm seeing this as an absolute win

                                        Qualcomm is extremely greedy to charge 240$ per chip.
