        Ouch... that's quite a blow.
        I'm a Snapdragon fan, does that mean I have to move to Mediatek or *shudders* exynos!?

            Qualcomm needs to find another partner. We need snapdragon like water.

              Another boring tireless battle just like with US, TSMC and Huawei.

                        DaFink, 5 hours agoHow exactly would Apple benefit from this?Current Snapdragon soc use Nuvia (Oryon) cores made by former Apple Employees, these cores directly compete with Apple business, Highend smartphone and Laptop.

                        If you look at trends since sd 8 gen 2 era Large Android Oems like Samsung, Xiaomi and Huawei grow a lot in premium smartphone (those cost $600 or more), nowadays Flagship soc are so powerfull and efficient to the point they beat even midrange.

                        According to Ming-Chi kuo sd 8 gen 4 (8 elite) broke records, shipment are up 50% vs 8 gen 3, all of these will eat Apple pie, in 2022 Apple had 75% share, in 2023 71% share, I won't be suprised if these cores helped Android Oems brake 30% of premium phones.

                        That first thing, another issues is Nuvia success made many Apple Engineer leave to create companies so they can be acquired , there are reports Apple is insecure and time time warn it's employees that leaving company won't make them successfull. So for them this project failure is all they want.
