Thanks! Both in 7 weeks... wow!

Just for clarification. You talk about the timeline of RDNA3.5 (=Strix Point) and not about RDNA4, or?

damn... ;) Thanks

Based on the rumors/leaks only 2 GPU remain for the RDNA4 lineup, the N44 (IMO most likely the successor of the N33) and the N48. Both are said to be monolithic designs in the lowend (N44) or midrange (N48) class. But, what if the leaks/rumors about the monolithic designs are not entirely...

"calculations" are fun XBX GPU: 130-140w; 52CU; 1825MHz 5700XT GPU: 180w (only the rated TDP for the GPU); 40CU; 1905MHz 52/40 x 180w = 234w, so maybe 220w due to the lower frequency. 220/130= +69% better efficiency 220/140= +57% better efficiency The +50% seems to be real BigNavi with 80CU...

on Top of it, the 9810 is much bigger than the Snapdragon 845. Especially the GPU is way bigger if the measurements are correct. https://www.gsmarena.com/comparing_the_sizes_of_flagship_chipsets_qualcomm_samsung_huawei_adn_apple-news-30240.php

maybe this phone is small enough for you, if it ever comes to market: Saygus V2 http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model/0ff631de

the only real compact smartphone with 5" display I'm aware of is the rather old Sony Xperia ZL. It is only 131,6 mm high. http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_zl-5203.php now if Sony would combine the interior of the M5 with the size of the ZL but with smaller bezels. That would be nearly ideal.

blog post about Vulkan from an hobby 3D developer: http://www.saschawillems.de/?p=1886 found in the 3DCenter forum

very nice article, but I still have one minor complain... on the perf/w table on page 7 I miss the values for the 5420-GPU. This would make it easy to get a better picture how much the Nvidia and AMD GPU's could gain from the new process

new info: http://www.gizmochina.com/2015/04/20/10-core-mediatek-mt6797-helio-x20-to-use-2-cortex-a72-8-cortex-a53-cores/ now they say (with slides from Mediatek?) 2x A72 @ 2.5GHz + 4x A53 @ 2GHz + 4x A53 @ 1.4GHz + Mediatek Interconnect + 128bit memory access(!)

it seems it is 4+4+2 ... but 2x A57 according to this slide: http://www.gizmochina.com/2015/04/19/helio-x20-to-use-meidateks-unique-3-core-architecture-goes-into-mass-production-in-july/ and no A72 as indicated in the older reports.

presentation of the new Mediatek 10-core SoC "Helio X20".. so the old rumors were correct: http://www.gizmochina.com/2015/04/15/10-core-mediatek-helio-x20-chipset-may-go-into-mass-production-by-end-of-the-year/ Again with A72 CPU cores. Does anyone have/found more information's?

Why not? If ARM can be believed and the A72 has a 10-50% higher IPC than a A57 then the performance of the 2 A72 + 2 A53 CPUs should be roughly as high as that of the 3 Cyclones @ 1,5GHz in the new iPad; at least in geekbench. Single-Thread the A72 @ 2,4GHz should be faster than the Cyclone @...

Apple is different :) Apple invests a lot of money to be first. A72 is something new, at least for me. Both big SoC producers, Qualcomm and Mediatek already announced products with the A72 and if this report is correct then the prototypes from Mediatek are already running...
