5G Baseband roadmap?

Hope they have a pretty aggressive schedule for moving to more energy-efficient process.

Throttling and dropping down to LTE in 85 degrees F and warmer doesn't sound like a great experience.

Process is one thing, but right now it seems that they're using multiple chips to do 5g. It's not helping. My guess is even at 7nm or whatever the process is, one chip build to do everything will do better.
Seems to me they rushed a Frankenstein modem to say FIRST, but the real 5g efficient design is not done yet.
