Seems to me a lot of people are getting an intolerance to light, so don’t expect too much.

That’s it!! Now I will NEVER use an iPhone as a server. 😋

If you can offer a 40% discount and still make profit

Maybe they didn’t? Or at least maybe not much.

if you’re shilling this much for TSMC

What? How am I shilling for TSMC? And I’m 100% an AMD guy myself, I freaking stuck to AMD during the whole Buldozer shitty period, because I didn’t want an Intel monopoly. And I bought AMD stock when they revealed Ryzen.

So I do NOT encourage a TSMC monopoly either.

While in reality TSMC gave Intel a 40% discount, a discount that was only discontinued, because Gelsinger trash talked TSMC!
So you are right they were dumb, but you are completely wrong about the why and how.

But of course based only on this article, it’s impossible to get that part right.

Qualcomm has a long history of being a patent license nazi, demanding exorbitant license fees, Arm does not. So I have no doubt which side I believe more in this.

Secure Boot is a broken concept by design.

47 Billion was the old one, that was declared illegal by court of law.
The new one passed by stockholders is 56 Billion.

At the rate of this result, it will take almost 10 years of Tesla profits, just to pay Musk his bonus!!

56 Billion:

LOL Shareholders stupidly granted Musk a $56 billion bonus.
At the rate of this quarterly earning, it will take almost 10 years just to earn that back. 🤣 🤣 🤣

Voting gives you the right to complain. If you don’t vote, you lose that right.

At least no mission critical services were hit, because nobody would run mission critical services in Windows, right?
…
RIGHT??

Wow, that’s like half the total value of Nike!!!

Or about the same as Ford:

I don’t think any other company is based on trial and error to the same degree as Google.
It’s kind of funny, since Google was originally based on hiring the greatest capacities within their field. So you should think they were pretty smart.
But trial and error is actually the LEAST INTELLIGENT method to solve a problem.

Much like IQ tests for humans are flawed too. Figuring out series of numbers or relations in a graphic representation, only tells how good you are at these specific tasks, and doesn’t provide a reliable picture of “general” intelligence.

OK, I looked at the link you provided, and the Dimensity 9200+ is rated faster than the Snapdragon 7+ gen 3 with a score of:

1. box (Cyan) 199,1 vs 178,9 Mobile phone/tablet chip comprehensive performance ranking
2. box (blue) 146,8 vs 146,2 (even) Mobile phone/tablet chip CPU performance ranking
3. box (yellow) 321,8 vs 255 Mobile phone/tablet chip GPU performance ranking
4. box (red) 120,8 vs 114,5 Mobile phone/tablet chip GPU performance ranking

So the Dimensity 9200+ is similar in CPU speed, and the 8200 Ultra is similar in CPU speed to 9200+ (slightly faster), according to tests between Xiaomi 13T (Dimensity 8200 Ultra) and Xiaomi 13T Pro (Dimensity 9200+).

PS it’s a very cool page, so I made the effort to translate what the numbers actually were. Thanks for good info. ;)

Damned! I was sure it said 7+, I’ve been looking quite a lot for it, and even put the “Snapdrogon 7+ gen 3” in quotes searching for it.

Then I have to apologize, that I can’t even find a comparative speedtest!? And I couldn’t read the Chinese one you linked.

The Dimensity 8200 ultra was slightly faster and more power efficient than Dimensity 9200+ in tests of the Xiaomi 13T against the 13T Pro. (except graphics)
They are comparable to Snapdragon 8 gen 2, except the 8200 Ultra doesn’t have as strong GPU as the 9200+.
AFAIK Both are faster than Snapdragon 7+ gen 3.

The Dimensity 8300 Ultra is another league: https://beebom.com/snapdragon-7-gen-3-vs-dimensity-8300-benchmark/

OK, then you may prefer the Dimensity 8200 Ultra, this is still faster then Snapdragon 7+ gen3, and more power efficient than Dimensity 9200+, but uses Mali graphics instead of Immortalis, still good for gaming, but not as good as the 9200+, and it’s cheaper too, which could make room for better camera. ;)

Snapdragon 7+gen 3 makes it worth it IMO.

Yes that’s definitely an upgrade, but there are lots of better SOC now, they could also have used the Dimensity 9200+, which is comparable to Snapdragon 8 gen 2. And even the Dimensity 8200 Ultra would have been better.

No charger in the box is a scummy move

Yes and the price is allegedly the same, we expect improvements, like better SOC and Camera, but not at the cost of making other things worse.

I’m not impressed by IPS 65, No-charger, Snapdragon 7+ gen 3, and worse camera , if they want to make a “flagship killer”.
IMO the Alu-body ads nothing over a good synthetic back, that is lighter thinner more durable, protects the phone better and is cheaper.
The only thing worse than Alu is glass.

But that’s probably subjective, others may love their choices?

OK, but it’s tested “above average”

So for sure it isn’t exactly bad.
