View attachment 87064This is a very interesting diagram.
In the mid-range, At the same power- Cortex X3 is not that much more efficient than A715. And at low-range A715 is more efficient.
So
X3@4W = 1500 points.
A715@2W = 1000 points
[Rounded off numbers].
If we assume linear scaling for multi core performance from the single core scores;
Let's say we need to achieve 3000 points in multi core performance.
We'll need
2 × X3 = 3000 points @8W
3 × A715 = 3000 points @6W
__
So the A7xx cores are still the best way to scale multi-core performance ig.
Is that good or bad? I don't have Geekbench scores memorized.
Less than 10% faster than leaked score of 8 gen 3.Is that good or bad? I don't have Geekbench scores memorized.
Leaked score of 8gen3 was 2200/6800 iirc.Less than 10% faster than leaked score of 8 gen 3.
That would be Neoverse V2 you mean (as in the nVidia Grace chip).In other words, if your intent is to make a server chip, X3s would be the way to go
The Tensor is getting absolutely buried here. Funny, it feels out of place. Slower than previous gen Snapdragon 8 gen 2 in both single/multi scores
I don't this thing can hold up for 7 years of OS updates.Google is going to have sell pretty heavily on "AI" to make consumers overlook how it will be behind every other Android phone (at similar prices) performance wise.
One weird thing is that it is reportedly using a "3rd Generation TSMC 4nm process"
What is that?
N4 is first-gen 4nm
N4P is second gen 4nm

On the slide they wrote "4nm+ N4P".One weird thing is that it is reportedly using a "3rd Generation TSMC 4nm process"

Oh yes. Exactly.On the slide they wrote "4nm+ N4P".
MediaTek reportedly previously used N4 without making actual use of the density gains afforded by N4 over N3 (maybe a straight mask port? no idea). May have been the same with N4P and now they did some actual adaption of the design to the node, making actual use of more of that node's advantages?
Can't wait for Geekerwan's testingThis 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 performance).
Looking to how it compared to Qualcomm's implementation, relying on the A720s, to see if the extra cost (Both in licenses and in manufacturing) are going to be worth it for Mediatek.
