Disappointing for sure.
Switching to 4nm from 6nm bit itself should improve battery performance, I bet by 20% on average ( depending on display, drivers etc...)
At same time QC will surely give a price increase. Those 6gen3 will be for phones of around 300 or more.
Not many alernatives for mid/lower range procs.. tensoshit's been out of competition for years. MediaTek had some good ones but there's a lot of renaming scam there too.
Really disappointing.
Anonymous, 02 Sep 2024To help OEMs to fool clients Exactly. There are so many variants of 4x A78 + 4x A55 at this point and the GPUs aren't that different nor do they even matter. Just know if you buy this you are buying 4 year old technology at a new price point. You will be better off with a used or priced reduced flagship or even one of those Pixels that people clown the performance of.

There’s just a 7% typical performance improvement from the revised micro-architecture. However, that comes with a 4% reduction in power consumption,
if you gain 7% while reducing power by 4% thats not 4% efficient. its more than 10, am lazy doing calculation.

OpposedScroll75, 08 Sep 2024The SD865 is not superior to the SD870 💀
The SD870 is literally the SD865++it is, use konabess to overclock you will understand, 865 can easily reach 940mhz, earlier version of 870 struggle to reach that clock and later version were blocked by Qualcomm so we cant overclock.
also Andrei did review these soc in spec 2017 int
prime core
-870 score 3.94 use 2.4W (1.64 point per watt)
-865 score 3.59 use 1.84W (1.95 point per watt)
so you may think 870 is 865++ but reality 870 is those soc which didnt qualify as 865 were overclocked, there is a reason why 870 devices were much cheaper than 865

Tsmc is booked in highend node aka 3nm they have plenty of capacity in their older node.
These figure are from digitimes
"ET News quoted sources reported that the utilization rate for Samsung's foundry business for 5nm is about 80%, and the combined utilization rate for 5nm and 7nm processes reached 90%, up from 60% in 2022."
That was before switch 2. Samsung foundry was 90% utilised
" 2023 is being dragged down by a rapid slowdown in 7nm and 6nm chip orders, but the foundry has managed to keep its overall fab utilization rates at 70% or higher, according to sources at fab toolmakers."
Tsmc 3nm while it's more utlised at 95% but overall Tsmc utilization is Around 70-80% while Samsung advanced node has 80% utilisation overall their fab has 90% utilization.
Hemedans, 07 Sep 2024Samsung foundry is close to 100% capacity, last time I saw it was more than 90%, they even got... moreYeah, since TSMC is overbooked and thus, more expensive. I like competition, but everyone and their mother knows TSMC does the better product and they would use them if money and capacity isn't an issue. Samsung isn't cheaper because of their good will, they're cheaper because they're worse and the demand is lower. Qualcomm can get away by rehashing a mediocre chipset fabbed with them and getting better profits for it. All their good stuff is from the best foundry. You defend the 4 Gen 2 with your life as if isn't a terrible product with a weak and outdated, more than six year old GPU architecture.
And the last bit is fair enough, specifically about some chips having better bins and yields than others, that also could have applied to the results I linked you before, about an A77 core from a flagship chip slightly beating an A78 from a midrange chip. You could lower your ego down a bit and consider those variables as well.

Without Samsung foundry you wouldn't get budget devices with cortex A78, many sub $200 devices with A78 are manufactured by Samsung.
Also as i said for millionth time now in many thread sd 695 is only exception by your logic why sd 695 is more efficient than 4 gen 1 and Dimensity 900/920? Does 4 gen 1 and D920 use inferior Tsmc 6nm over superio Tsmc 6nm? No in some case some products are better binned and only those with high yield are choosen that can be case in lot of soc sd 865 is superior to 870, 695 superior to 4 gen 1, 8s gen 3 superior to 7+ gen 3 etc.
