So much penny pinching on IP. I understand that the $150 to $200 price point is unforgiving, but why did Qualcomm regress? Phones aren’t any cheaper, though the node is cheaper.
Sad to see a 2023 SoC w/o Bluetooth LE, WiFi 6, nor AV1 decode.
Glad to see better autofocus than three ISPs, but they’ve not even given a first-party data point to be measured against. Is it 0.05ms faster or 200ms faster? Both could be true!

Is samsung's 4nm that good compared to TSMC's 6nm?alawadhi3000 - Monday, June 26, 2023 - link
Yes its better than TSMC N6.hemedans - Monday, June 26, 2023 - link
The one used in E1380 and E1330 is really good. Phone with those soc had really good battery life and perfomance was same with Tsmc 6nm.iphonebestgamephone - Wednesday, June 28, 2023 - link
Perf/watt graph from where?Captain obvious - Tuesday, June 27, 2023 - link
As long as clock speeds are around 2ghz, it appears 4lpe/4lpp does fine.For chips trying to boost until 3 GHz, it seems power usage and thermal throttling becomes an issue.
