@MichaelSmicqfw @TheGalox_ Ahaha, same for the Tensor G5, which uses an external Samsung modem x.com/i/status/20491…

@VinceLongman @TheGalox_ Umm no Apple is missing the modem lol

Throwing more ram at AI is a mistake both Apple and Google made Both increased the ram on their devices to make them "AI Ready" and neither have standout AI features that make good use of the extra ram Google specially, 16GB ram on all flagships ended up being VERY expensive and with little AI use.

@MichaelSmicqfw @TheGalox_ Incorrect, Google's Tensor G5 (121mm2) is about 22% larger than Apple's A19 Pro (99mm2). Thus probably 25-30% more expensive. That's how amazing the Apple Silicon team are

@TheGalox_ Googles SOC is significantly cheaper then Apple or Snapdragon. I’m sure they can afford a extra 4GB of ram

@sayandeep0307 @Reptalicant Nope, more cores won't help sub 5W when there's like only 2 cores active lol

@Reptalicant 10CORE VS 8CORE yeah I will take that

Exynos 2600 Geekbench 6 MT and Steel Nomad Lite power curve by AAA魅魔荧师傅 (Bilibili) I don't typically add my commentary, but WHAT black magic did Samsung LSI do for E2600 to be more efficient than Snapdragon and Mediatek? b23.tv/9dmJfgC

@lafaiel @saurax04 It's #2 the X2 Plus has worse ST than their lower power 8E g5 in phones. Qualcomm just loves their own foot, must be the Radeon heritage 😂😂

Here’s what I think: 1. Qualcomm hates looking behind Apple, so they use extreme binning to push top-tier chips to 5GHz. Average chips just can't hit those clocks. 2. They’re intentionally nerfing entry-level lineups to force people into higher SKUs. Either way, it’s not a good look. Even their best X2 EE is underperforming compared to what Qualcomm promised and lose to fking ipad chip

Snapdragon X2 laptops in the M5 MBA price range are way behind in performance. Why is there such a huge gap in ST performance between their SKUs??

@techanalye1 Die sizes??

M5 pro のCPU （この精度でチップ全体撮影したよ） （これ以上は載せないけど）

@lafaiel A19P's P-core 12.11 at 7.4W = 1.64/W M5P's M-core: 10.3 at 4-5W = 2.06-2.58/W, still a big 26-57% uplift M5P's M-core: 10.3 at 2.5-3W = 3.43-4.12/W, insane 209-252% uplift

@lafaiel jht5132 also said the M-core scores 508 in Cinebench 2026 at 5W I think 4-5W is more accurate, standard methodology: system power minus idle 2.5-3W is only M-core itself, but that's non-standard methodology Still 10.3 at 4-5W is still a huge lead in perf/W vs the industry

According to jht5132, the M5 Pro's P-core (not the super core) matches Intel's Panther Lake P-core in SPEC integer rate performance while being incredibly efficient at 2.5W/4.38GHz. Apple coming up with a 'super core' wasn't a marketing stunt it was just being accurate.

@jukan05 For the X3 Elite?? Or server chip??

Not just AMD, but Qualcomm is also exploring the adoption of SOCAMM. Oh… now smartphone companies will have to compete not only with NVIDIA, but also with AMD for LPDDR5X.

@Cartidise Do they have Add me? Its genuinely very very useful

Huawei’s Pura 90 series comes with AI Posture Recommendations for better photos. THIS is how AI is supposed to be used. Yea, it’s way more useful than Google’s camera coach slop.

@lafaiel Interesting 10C setup, 1+4+1+4? I assume 1x Ultra, 1x Premium, 4x Pro (mid) & 4x Pro (little)??

Samsung’s Exynos 2700 CPU GB6 result was just uploaded, and for the first time in industry, it has slightly surpassed Apple in performance per clock

@UniverseIce @faridofanani96 S27 Ultra without the S Pen? So just an S27 Ultra but with a slightly larger battery? That doesn't really sound appealing The S27 Pro should be a 6.3" S27 Ultra Mini. Competing with the iPhone 18 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro & Xiaomi 18 Pro

BREAKING! Samsung Galaxy S27 series will introduce a new “Pro” model — essentially an Ultra without the S Pen. That means the lineup will expand to four models: Galaxy S27, S27+, S27 Pro, and S27 Ultra. Samsung Electronics plans to add a new high-end model to the Galaxy S27 series next year, strengthening its flagship smartphone lineup. This move aims to broaden consumer choice while responding to Apple’s four-model strategy. According to industry sources on April 6, Samsung’s Mobile eXperience (MX) division has decided to introduce a “Pro” model to the Galaxy S27 series, expanding the lineup from three to four models. Since the Galaxy S20 series in 2020, Samsung has maintained a three-tier flagship structure: standard, Plus, and Ultra. This will now evolve into a four-tier lineup: standard, Plus, Pro, and Ultra. An industry insider familiar with the matter said, “Previously, Ultra was the only high-end model. Now Samsung plans to add a Pro, expanding the premium segment to two models. Specific details like display size are not finalized yet, but the general direction is clear: a high-end model without the S Pen, while sharing most of the Ultra’s technologies.” Another source added, “The ‘privacy display’ feature that generated strong reactions on the Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to expand to two models in the next generation, and the newly added model will likely include it.” The last time Samsung added a new model to the Galaxy S lineup was two years ago, when it introduced the Galaxy S25 Edge, emphasizing a thinner design. It was launched two months after the S25 series. Originally, the Edge was intended to replace the Plus model starting from the S26 series. However, due to market feedback, Samsung canceled that plan and returned to developing and releasing the Plus model. This time, the Galaxy S27 Pro is not a replacement, but an expansion of the lineup. Industry observers believe Samsung is aiming to strengthen its position by enhancing the competitiveness of its high-end models while offering more choices. The Pro model is expected to feature technologies that differentiate it from the standard and Plus variants. For example, the Galaxy S26 Ultra introduced features such as the privacy display and a 200MP camera, which were not available on the standard or Plus models. Some analysts also interpret this move as a response to Apple’s four-model strategy. Apple currently structures its lineup with standard models (including the base and Air) and premium models (Pro and Pro Max), while Samsung has so far maintained only a single Ultra model at the high end.

@yo80526 @leclercsletters He's harvesting

@leclercsletters Why he running like that 😭

why is franco just running in the middle of the street 😭😭

@toniievych @MCH2024 @geekbench Lol that quote is regarding comparing ARM systems with & without SME. Since Arm's SME is quite new, hence only recently supported by GB6 & some CPUs It wasn't about ARM systems vs x86 systems. SME support actually levelled the playing field as GB6 already supported AVX/etc

Here are two quotes from the official release notes: geekbench.com/blog/2024/04/g… "Introduce support for Arm Scalable Matrix Extensions (SME) instructions." "For systems without SME instructions, Geekbench 6.3 CPU Benchmark scores are comparable with Geekbench 6.1 and Geekbench 6.2 scores. Systems with SME instructions enabled will score higher in Geekbench 6.3 than in earlier Geekbench versions." Please read the details before posting something. Thanks.

We spent a week investigating Intel's Binary Optimization Tool and discovered it doesn't just reorder code, it can vectorize workloads, boosting some Geekbench 6.3 scores by up to 30%. Find out more at geekbench.com/blog/2026/03/a…

@MKBHD We can easily tell when Smart HDR & Night Mode were copied from Google 😂😂

iPhone 1 thru iPhone 17 vs LOW light

@mecoscorner @IanCutress @JoHei13 @Arm Good effort, here's a couple more corrections: Neoverse N3 = Cortex-X3 can't be right either. The Neoverse N series are based on the A7xx series, not Xxx series. The Neoverse N3 is most likely based on the A715 or A720. IIRC Neoverse V2 = Cortex-X3, AnandTech had an article on it

@IanCutress @JoHei13 @Arm Here I've listed which Arm Neoverse core is what regular core etc. Might be useful here :) #2023" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">sbcwiki.com/docs/soc-manuf…

Most hyperscalers have built their own Arm CPU. Meta just asked Arm to do it themselves. AWS has Graviton. Oracle has Ampere. Google has Axion. Microsoft has Cobalt. Huawei has Kunpeng. Now Meta has @Arm AGI CPU. Cloudflare is using it too.

@schizoramble @JoHei13 @9550pro Lol why are you using TDP when Phoronix literally gave us their power consumption measurements? Phoronix measured almost 400W median power consumption for both the 64C EPYC 9575F & 128C EPYC 9755. Vs only 180W for the 72C GH200 Grace

@JoHei13 @9550pro EPYC 9575F: 64 cores, configurable TDP 320-400W Grace GH200: 72 cores, configurable TDP 450-1000W lmao

🤪 Even a 2x performance boost is only about on par with AMD's CPUs from two years ago... phoronix.com/review/nvidia-…

@Jimster4801 @lapplandtrader @9550pro Lol why are you using TDP when Phoronix literally gave us their power consumption measurements. Phoronix measured almost 400W median power consumption for the 128C EPYC 9755. Vs only 180W for the 72C GH200 Grace

@lapplandtrader @9550pro 9755 is 280-400W TDP GH200 is 450-1000W TDP

@9550pro Phoronix measured almost 400W median power consumption for the 128C EPYC 9755. Vs only 180W for the 72C GH200 Grace

@lafaiel @jimmyjames_tech Not surprised, Qualcomm's Prime cores are only roughly as large as Apple's new Perf cores. That's why Qualcomm needs far higher clocks to match Apple's Super cores in ST. Will be interesting to see if Qualcomm can close that gap in the next few years

@jimmyjames_tech Even with a 12+6 prime core setup, its multi-thread score is way lower than the 6+12 M5 Pro/Max Maybe clocks drop more in multi-thread because of efficiency, or the M5 just handles Geekbench 6’s tougher multi-thread workloads better

More QC X2 Elite Extreme scores coming in. browser.geekbench.com/search?k=v6_cp…

@highyieldYT @mweinbach Interesting, Apple now has a similar three core types, similar to Arm * Super cores = Arm C-Ultra * Perf cores = Arm C-Premium * Efficiency cores = Arm C-Pro 2+4+4 seems ideal for the M6 Will be interesting to see what Apple do for the A20/A21 Will they get Perf cores?

@mweinbach So they renamed the old performance core to "super" core and introduced a new performance core that sits in-between the old performance core and the efficiency core? Will we see a SoC with all three core types in the future? Like 2 super, 4 performance and4 efficiency cores?

To be as clear as possible about M5 cores: There are now 3 types of cores: super core, performance core, efficiency core M5 has 4 super cores, 6 efficiency cores M5 Pro/Max have 6 super cores, 12 performance cores Up until today, the super core was referred to as performance core. After today, it is super core. The performance core is a new core all together. The efficiency core remains unchanged.
