MediaTek previously announced that it has successfully developed the 3nm SoC with TSMC, making it 32 percent more power-efficient than previous-generation silicon, though the exact name of the chipset was not mentioned. Now, the Taiwanese company’s CEO has spoken about the close partnership with its foundry partner, stating that both entities are working together to launch its first 3nm product, which is rumored to be called the Dimensity 9400.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 Rumored To Drop Efficiency Cores, Will Sport Faster ‘Phoenix’ Cores Only; 3nm Process And Codename Details Also Shared
08.12.2023 - 10:35 / wccftech.com / Will
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will be Qualcomm’s first smartphone SoC to shift away from the traditional CPU designs, with the company now switching to custom Oryon cores to take the fight directly to Apple. The San Diego firm is now rumored to adopt the same CPU cluster as MediaTek’s Dimensity 9300, meaning that we might no longer see low-power cores present on the upcoming silicon.
It has been known for a while that both the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 and Dimensity 9400 will be mass produced on TSMC’s 3nm process and, more specifically, the Taiwanese manufacturer’s ‘N3E’ process. However, the tipster Digital Chat Station takes it one step further by sharing more details, starting with the codename of next year’s flagship silicon, which is ‘Sun.’ He also shares that the CPU cluster will be in a ‘2 + 6’ configuration, with two high-performance Phoenix cores followed by six mid-tier cores with the same name.
The absence of efficiency cores can mean that the power consumption of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will see a major spike compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, but TSMC’s 3nm process should help in this matter. Regardless, with just a performance cores configuration, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 can obtain an impressive multi-core result, with early tests revealing that the SoC’s Adreno 830 GPU is faster than the Apple M2’s graphics processor.
All of this information suggests that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will be worth the wait, but Qualcomm’s partners may not think that especially when the silicon is said to be more expensive than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 as a result of switching to those custom Oryon cores. Regardless, 2024 will be exciting, and we will continue to share updates with our readers, so stay tuned.

China reveal new limits on game spending and rewards, wiping billions from Tencent and NetEase market value
Chinese regulators have announced far-reaching curbs on monetisation and reward systems for online games, in a move that has wiped almost $80 billion from the market value of the world's biggest videogame publisher Tencent and their rival NetEase. Under the new government restrictions, which are pending final approval, online games in China will be banned from giving players rewards for logging in every day, spending money within the game for the first time, or spending money several times consecutively.

Qualcomm Claims Its Snapdragon X Elite Is 21 Percent Faster Than Apple’s M3 In Multi-Core Performance; ‘It’s Good Hardware,’ Says PR Manager
The Snapdragon X Elite was announced in late October, and shortly after, Apple countered with its first 3nm chipsets for the Mac lineup, the M3, M3 Pro, and the M3 Max, which also launched in the same month. The San Diego firm has come out with a bold statement now, claiming that its latest SoC is up to 21 percent faster than the M3 in multi-core performance. However, despite supposedly having the edge, a Qualcomm PR manager says that the experience will be different, and that has to do with both chipsets powering different operating systems.

A Chatbot from the 1960s has thoroughly beaten OpenAI's GPT-3.5 in a Turing test, because people thought it was just 'too bad' to be an actual AI
A small research group recently examined the performance of 25 AI 'people', using two large language models created by OpenAI, in an online Turing test. None of the AI bots ultimately passed the test, but all the GPT 3.5 ones were so bad that a chatbot from the mid-1960s was nearly twice as successful as passing off as a human. Mostly because real people didn't believe it was really AI.
