[2598.24 --> 2600.36] And, of course, current generation Snapdragon. |
[2600.64 --> 2602.72] So clearly something's wrong here. |
[2603.38 --> 2607.70] So confirmation that the demo units were running a special firmware and they might not be optimized. |
[2609.40 --> 2613.64] He's having a hard time believing they would so drastically limit the performance of the device for show units. |
[2613.86 --> 2615.60] Honestly, I don't find that that hard to believe. |
[2615.60 --> 2621.14] All kinds of games get played with phone firmware for shows and even for reviewers. |
[2621.74 --> 2622.44] But check this out. |
[2623.10 --> 2631.76] Did get confirmation that Samsung is planning to tune down the Exynos variant to match Snapdragon performance. |
[2633.68 --> 2634.28] Wow. |
[2634.28 --> 2637.54] So I'm actually not sure how that wasn't bigger news. |
[2637.54 --> 2642.62] Because I can see a lot of different ways that people can get upset about this. |
[2642.62 --> 2646.64] And I can't see a lot of ways where people wouldn't be a little bit upset about this. |
[2646.64 --> 2649.26] So the two ways I can see people being upset. |
[2649.36 --> 2654.70] Upset number one would be if I got a Snapdragon 845 Galaxy S9. |
[2654.98 --> 2656.96] Because there's always controversy there. |
[2657.10 --> 2657.20] Yeah. |
[2657.20 --> 2659.20] And with Apple, it was even... |
[2659.86 --> 2660.58] So what was it? |
[2660.62 --> 2664.66] A10 was the first one they did it on where they dual sourced from TSMC and... |
[2664.66 --> 2665.98] And then one of them was better than the other. |
[2665.98 --> 2666.20] I forget. |
[2666.42 --> 2666.52] Yeah. |
[2666.56 --> 2671.54] One of them was arguably sometimes better than the other. |
[2671.62 --> 2674.22] And it was mostly in terms of battery life where people were getting upset. |
[2674.30 --> 2676.60] Because one of them was a little bit more power efficient. |
[2676.84 --> 2677.80] But it was close enough. |
[2677.90 --> 2679.44] I think it was within 5%. |
[2679.44 --> 2685.58] Like it was close enough that you were also playing around with the variations in battery capacity at that point. |
[2687.20 --> 2691.70] So I can see people being upset about getting the perceived trashier chip. |
[2692.10 --> 2696.18] The other thing I could see people being upset about is if you're in the European or Asian market. |
[2696.18 --> 2700.10] And you've got an Exynos 8895. |
[2700.52 --> 2701.52] Having it be nerfed. |
[2701.88 --> 2703.40] And see, this is probably one of those situations... |
[2703.40 --> 2704.38] You're like, yo, what's up, Samsung? |
[2704.38 --> 2704.58] Samsung? |
[2705.32 --> 2710.78] This is probably one of those situations where Samsung realized that these problems could happen. |
[2711.44 --> 2715.66] So they decided to try to quietly make them the same so that people wouldn't argue. |
[2716.14 --> 2719.34] Which, you know, from a certain standpoint, I kind of understand. |
[2719.58 --> 2721.90] They're like, we just don't want people to freak out. |
[2722.64 --> 2724.66] So if we make everything the same, then it's great. |
[2724.74 --> 2727.54] But then people are going to freak out because then they should have gotten an advantage. |
[2728.10 --> 2728.98] Is this Samsung... |
[2728.98 --> 2729.68] There's no way around it. |
[2729.68 --> 2737.60] Is this Samsung kind of going, well, you know, the Canadian region probably won't care about this phone... |
[2737.60 --> 2740.82] Until such time as it's available through Canadian carriers. |
[2741.08 --> 2742.78] So let's just not bother briefing them. |
[2743.18 --> 2745.42] Like, is this them going, you know what? |
[2746.08 --> 2751.64] You know, outside of the U.S., Americans probably don't read, you know, non-American news outlets. |
[2751.64 --> 2754.92] So they're probably not going to, like, look that closely at the Exynos version. |
[2754.92 --> 2760.50] So, like, as long as we seed all the U.S. outlets with Snapdragon ones, it should be fine. |
[2760.58 --> 2761.00] Like, are they... |
[2761.00 --> 2766.66] Is this them going, okay, as long as we keep it contained within a region, then no one will figure this out? |
[2766.92 --> 2769.20] And, you know, the mainstream consumer probably wouldn't. |
[2769.86 --> 2770.96] Is that what's happening here? |
[2773.24 --> 2773.60] Wow. |
[2774.24 --> 2775.36] I think... |
[2775.36 --> 2781.60] Okay, so I think it's been proven many, many, many times that nerds are going to figure it out. |
[2781.98 --> 2782.92] Mainstream consumer, no. |
[2783.04 --> 2784.44] Mainstream consumer is not going to care. |
[2784.92 --> 2786.36] There's an iterative number. |
[2786.72 --> 2790.98] They're going to see it's the S9, and they'll want it if they're getting a new phone for whatever reason. |
[2791.30 --> 2791.58] Okay. |
[2791.84 --> 2796.80] I've got a lot of people asking this, and we really need to address it. |
[2797.86 --> 2803.26] I can't find the first person who asked it, but let's go down to this one. |
[2803.86 --> 2804.62] Who was it? |
[2805.10 --> 2805.74] Oh, man. |
[2807.00 --> 2807.74] Something, something. |
[2807.74 --> 2808.46] Okay, whatever. |
[2808.58 --> 2810.98] The question is, why... |
[2810.98 --> 2811.46] Here we go. |
[2812.96 --> 2813.52] Derfuhrer123. |
[2813.60 --> 2814.08] Oh, seriously. |
[2814.08 --> 2815.14] Why did I read that? |
[2816.42 --> 2820.46] Why doesn't Samsung use Exynos in the U.S. and China? |
[2821.24 --> 2830.00] And then another person asked, why does Samsung, a designer and fabricator of mobile CPUs... |
[2830.00 --> 2830.92] Not use their... |
[2830.92 --> 2834.56] Why do they use Qualcomm CPUs in their phones? |
[2835.24 --> 2842.34] And the answer is actually a little more interesting than you might at first think. |
[2843.34 --> 2846.30] There was a different word I was looking for, and I'm... |
[2846.30 --> 2846.76] Complicated? |
[2846.76 --> 2849.78] No, it was like delicate, but it wasn't delicate. |
[2849.96 --> 2852.88] It was a little more subtle, a little more... |
[2854.06 --> 2854.88] Whatever, I forget. |
[2855.68 --> 2856.38] So the reason... |
[2856.38 --> 2856.90] A very watery junk? |
[2856.98 --> 2860.04] I'll say radio compatibility is actually one factor. |
[2860.04 --> 2868.16] But Samsung could probably figure out how to support more bands with their chipset if they really... |
[2868.16 --> 2868.76] Pretty sure that would be fine. |
[2868.76 --> 2869.78] ...wanted to hard enough. |
[2872.24 --> 2872.68] Nuanced. |
[2872.98 --> 2873.40] Nuanced. |
[2873.52 --> 2873.98] Thank you. |
[2874.06 --> 2874.42] That's the one. |
[2874.42 --> 2875.12] No, that was the chat. |
[2875.22 --> 2875.52] Good job, chat. |
[2875.52 --> 2876.18] Oh, thank you, chat. |
[2876.26 --> 2876.62] Nuanced. |
[2876.72 --> 2877.10] I just... |
[2877.10 --> 2877.66] I read it in chat. |
[2877.70 --> 2878.28] I was like, absolutely. |
