Is there even any reason to use qualcomm anymore?
Why haven't more mainstream manufacturers moved to mediatek, which is completely outperforming qualcomm at every price point.
mtk6753 BTFOs a SD615
mtk6752 beats a SD801 in single thread, and beats the SD810 in multi thread performance.
Then there's the helio x10, which is annihilating everything from qualcomm.
Let's not forget mediatek chips are more efficient and don't suffer thermal issues like qualcomm ones do.
mtk6752 used in the lenovo k3 note matches the apple a9 in multithread performance too.

No
Fucking

It's still better.

currently using helio x10 in xiaomi redmi note 2
Feels good man
SD650 > everything mediatek makes besides X20
>>53693432
And the Exynos in the Gs7 destroys everything else on the market in performance and efficiency. Your point?
>>53693452
Point is SD 650 devices are out in $200 phones right now, and where exactly can you buy a phone with an X20? Feel free to link me one.
I thought Mediatek is only being used in chink phones
>>53693481
That's the problem. Both faster and more efficient, but not being used mainstream.
>>53692980
I heard Helio x20 can easily do 4k video decoding. Now if anyone would make a single board computer based on it, I'd jizz my pants right here
Why are they keeping such great tech exclusively to phones? I have tons of uses for a powerful low power computer
>>53693607
This.
Why don't we have powerful arm boards?
Fuck I'd even buy a netbook with a mediatek SoC just for portable multimedia + general Linux use
>>53692980
>810
Why didn't they bench against the 820?
>>53693534
But how come Mediatek is able to produce these chips? That's like really fast, and chink phones aren't even that good compared to Samsung etc.
>>53693749
Probably wasn't out yet

They're only inferior in build quality now. Check out >>53693122 where the lenovo k3 note is outperforming an lg g4
>>53693803
X20 isn't too bad, maybe not top end but in the top few for sure.
The most amazing thing is, the mediatek chip performing so well even when being so inexpensive
>>53693834
That's my point.
It's extremely disappointing not seeing them in budget devices. Imagine the moto g 2gb ram variant with a mtk6753.
>8x A53 beats 4x A53 + 4x A57.
Huh?
I'm pretty sure SD820 destroys everything chinktek made.
>>53694600
Nah helio x20 is a 10 core processor.
Trades blows in single thread, destroys it in multithread

Yes, they have a stranglehold on radio licenses in USA.
That's the only reason anyone is still using them and the reason why there are multiple variants of some phones with Snapdragon SoCs in USA and something better for the international model.

>licenses
Patents I mean.
Not radio licenses as in owning/leading rd bands.
>>53694963
Why does US even have different bands to the rest of the world?
