The same reason that makes intel charge 500$ for a CPU that doesn't cost 100$.no, that is close. Arm chip is usually dirt cheap. Meditek sells its lowly mtk 68xx 32bit quadcore SoCs for like 1$ per pop. I am pretty sure even lower dual core sells for just a quater. Apple's A11 bionic costs Apple just $40 to manufacture per chip/per phone.
Compare that to intel i5 Us, selling usually between 200 and 300 USD to the oems
That makes us wonder.... what causes apple to charge $1000 for a bloody phone???
i do not see any x86 CPU achieve even close to 30 days connected standby
In addition i do not see any x86 CPU achieve even close to 30 days connected standby time or 20 hours video playback time - with other words i do not expect a miracle from Intel or from anyone designing x86 CPUs for that matter.
From my tests, I’m expecting around 12 hours of Youtube, around 15 hours of looping a 1080p mkv file and about 7-8 hours of everyday multitasking from this computer (with the screen at around 120 nits)
I don't see a smart phone phone getting 30 days connected standby. you can turn off most stuff, remove most apps, never turn on the display and you won't get close to 30 days standby. It's marketing.
Indeed, 15 hours would be quite a bit less than advertised. Testing environment was the same with the screen at 120 nits. On the other hand the author claimed these numbers to be estimates.
Guess we have to wait and see until we can continue the discussion.
It is underwhelming if it ends up being the final performance. The new core alone should bring 22-34% better performance without taking in mind the increase in frequency.
IIUC SD845 and SD835 have the same max frequency of 2.5 GHz.It is underwhelming if it ends up being the final performance. The new core alone should bring 22-34% better performance without taking in mind the increase in frequency.

It uses ARM Cortex A75 that brings an increase of22% inIIUC SD845 and SD835 have the same max frequency of 2.5 GHz.
If you pick this https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/compare/5548051?baseline=5628738 you'll see that the INT score increases by 33% and the FP score by 50%. That's quite good. Did you expect more?
We don't know what the frequency of the chip in that phone really is, we'll have to wait for the official release. I just picked what QCM slides claim.It uses ARM Cortex A75 that brings an increase of22% in
INT, 33% in FP and per ARM around 34% better performance at iso frequency in Geekbench compared to the Cortex A73 that are inside the SD835. And the frequency is 2'8GHz as you have now seen.
There are chips like mtk6580 being sold for just $1 my friend. How else do you think we have $20 cheap Chinese phone on the market.As far as I know...
Qualcomm chips
- SD 450 cost only 10 dollars
- SD 625 as far as I know it costed 15 dollars
- SD 650 costed 25 dollars
- SD 820 currently cost 60 - 80 dollars
- SD 835 costs 100 dollars
Mediatek chips
- Helio P23 is being sold at 12 dollars
- Helio X20 costed 40 dollars but now it must be 30 dollars
- Helio X30 was costing 80 dollars, but is being cut to 60 dollars...
Spreadtrum
- No info about it... This is the most secretive of the bunch, but rumors says that the X86 chip costs only 9 dollars thanks to Intel... And the mediocre Mali T820...
The sources? Deleted blogs, forums and this for at least the SD 450....
