Exactly, I'm so disappointed. Samsung had supposedly their 3GAP ready, but they indeed have no customer, it seems? (They got burned with the 5/4nm debacle).
This is the moment they could have played an interesting role, providing a "more advanced node" that could at least compete with the more...
To my understanding, the Tegra X1 had an older-school cluster-management; it either uses the High-performance cluster or the efficiency cluster. It simply was disabled on the Switch as it can't rely on the efficiency cluster for running games. Instead, they underclocked the high-performance...
Yes! I meant 1480, thanks for the correction.
On the Samsung-AMD deal, I can't find the exact source, but I remember reading about it.
I found this from the Press Release, in more PR-friendly language.
The key word, complement, not in product lines that can compete with AMD.
I understand that Mali Drivers for Windows are not available and there is no presence of Mali in the WoA platform other than Qualcomm. Despite rumors of its expiration, seems like the contract is still valid, and we have not seen this happening yet.
Regarding Samsung, they signed a contract...
Thanks for the clarification! So, QC's Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, that ran on Samsung's node, was actually a derivative of their 7nm node? That helps explain the lack of meaningful improvements in performance or efficiency. Same when you compare the 7 gen 1, with the 778G, even as it transitioned from...
Have in mind these are the maximum frequencies. Given these processors, especially for phones and laptops, have very tight thermal and energy limits, I wonder if they do sustain those frequencies for the multithreaded loads.
For instance, in the most recent Geekerwan video on the 9300 on the...
The thing is that, guessing from the null performance or efficiency gains from SD Chips fabbed on Samsung 4nm, expect that Samsung 4nm can only bring similar performance and efficiency to TSMC's 7nm or, at most, 6nm.
Have in mind that the Samsung agreement with AMD is clear that is they are meant to use the Radeon IP in markets where AMD is not competing.
They have the license to exploit the Radeon IP in smartphone SOCs for sure, on tablets not so sure, and definitely they can't use them for laptop SOCs...
It is concerning that the newer process nodes don't seem to be scaling efficiently. Relying on faster clocks leads to higher temperatures and higher power draw. The M2 fans were noisier than M1, and the M3 is also getting quite warm. If this trend continues, will it result in chips with...
As always, Geekerwan's reviews are on point!
I'm excited to see the outcome! Mediatek has shown a significant increase in efficiency on the CPU side, as demonstrated by the Geekbench 5 graphs. It's amazing that they are currently leading in efficiency, relying on stock ARM-cores and the N4 node...
This is what is the most interesting for me. I can see that Mediatek is not after the MT Performance Crown, that's more of an effect of their strategy. They are going for the 33% Lower Power at same performance (Theoretically, the X4 at mid-speed are more efficient than the A720 at peak...
