I honestly don't think Samsung need to worry about keeping anyone happy in Korea. They literally are Korea and own everything there.

Because AMD has a history of doing doing sucky collabs. They all just fail most of the time, even most of the games they sponsor aren't good.

I keep hearing this argument. So where are the custom roms for all modern dimensity socs? Go to custom ROM land and it's literally crickets in terms of support. If mediatek wish to be taken seriously they need to actually support and take them seriously.

But it is? It's called Pixel. Literally the Tensor G series 1-4.

Can you even find any phones with mediatek with long term 7 years of OS update support? I know you can with Snapdragon/Exynos but I am unsure about mediatek if there are any..

AMD collaboration will not save Exynos.

If Samsung wants a cheaper option without paying the Qualcomm tax, it can use one of the newer Mediatek Dimensity chips, which are superior than anything Exynos.

Let's put it another way: if Exynos chips were that good (performance, value for money), it would be found in some other non-Samsung phones. The fact that this didn't happen, tells you everything you need to know.

It has x925 but has much less IPC than dimensty 9400's x925. I expected around 2500 single core since it has 3.3ghz , lower than 3.6 GHz on dimensty 9400.

What is IPC in   your definition?

So, bottom line, Samsung 3nm GAAFET can finally match TSMC 4nm, while costing more?

I think the issue is going to be how much it costs compared to TSMC processes, and how much reliable are their yield rates.
