    Doug S replied to the thread Discussion Qualcomm Snapdragon Thread.

    Individuals don't design SoCs with tens of billions of transistors like M3, teams do. Hypothetically, if the Qualcomm team as a whole...

    Doug S reacted to Hitman928's post in the thread Discussion Intel Meteor, Arrow, Lunar & Panther Lakes Discussion Threads with Like.

    This may not end up being true, there's research suggesting a path that allows for significantly larger reticle sizes with high NA than...

    Doug S replied to the thread Discussion Qualcomm Snapdragon Thread.

    Qualcomm could hire the best design team in the world but it won't overcome all of their issues and deficiencies. They are too used to...

    Doug S replied to the thread Discussion Apple Silicon SoC thread.

    Really doubt they'd use a full sized SoC like A20 for such testing. I'm willing to bet they already have a test chip design that has...
