PCWorld interviewed Kedar Kondap
PS: It's been nice knowing all you guys. I will not be posting here anymore for the following months, as I intend to step away from the tech world and tech news. I hope you guys keep this thread alive. Keep the Snapdragon speculation and discussion flowing! adieu.
Strix Point's memory bandwidth bottleneck seems to grow with every single leak.
First, no SLC.
Now, no memory speed upgrade.
Poor 16 CU iGPU and 50 TOPS NPU.
That means perhaps the upcoming ARM Cortex X5 will support SME2.
Cortex X5 announcement is very near (next month?), and Android chips with it will be available by the end of the year.
The ARM Cortex X4/A720/A520 utilised ARMv9.2 for the first time. SME2/SVE2 is part of ARMv9.2 But it seems X4/A720/A520 doesn't support SME2/SVE2 either way.
Well well well.
What could it be?
Apple isn't going to implement SME (they have their own custom AMX).
ARM already has implemented SME2 and SVE2 on their latest cores.
But Oryon is based on ARMv8 and doesn't have either SVE2 or SME2. Maybe.... Next gen Oryon core (Pegasus) adds support for...
But is extra cache really going to help?
For example, despite the added V-cache, AMD's X3D parts are slightly slower than the non-X3D parts, in ST benchmarks.
Apple does pretty well in CB2024;

The M3 Max (12P+4E) rivals the Ryzen 7945HX (16P/32T). Both do about ~1600 points.
Isn't GB5 deprecated?
