Nice. Let's see if they perform well in the real world.

Interesting how quickly they seem to have caught up.

If Moore's law is truly ending as is generally believed, then it seems logically inevitable that the entire industry will flatten out and equalize. Or, I am oversimplifying something.

In this case it's more that multiple companies (Apple, Qualcomm, MediaTek and now Xiaomi) have used the same process (N3P) to produce multiple chips with similar performance. Regardless of Moore's Law death that isn't surprising.

That's just punting the meta which is why are companies converging on similar processes? Plausible explanation being that Moore's law exponential is going away.

Good. Competition is great for consumers.

If China has technological superiority to the US in every facet of science and engineering, is that really good for us though?

Not good for us if it gets banned domestically because the US can't compete in a free market.

Thank you OP for using xcancel.

No mention I can see of power consumption multiple compared to apple's chips at matching perf. My guess is 2x-5x

I think describing what's happening "other countries seem to sit on their hands and happily outsource every bit of manufacturing to a single country" is disingenuous. It's been dubbed China Shock 2.0 and it's being taken very seriously by the EU. The US admin is a joke and too busy shooting itself in both feet to have coherent policy
