We are currently reaching the 4th generation of Qualcomm 8 gen series chipset, (5 if we include snapdragon 888) and this is the best Samsung's midrange Exynos can do, pathetic.

And not to mention, this is a midrange SOC. Why are you seething at the thought of a midrange chip being close to a five year old flagship. It is not a modern flagship, why do you expect it to perform as such

Maybe because the competition is that much ahead. See, mediatek dimensity 8300 ultra, Snapdragon 7+gen 2, or Snapdragon 7+ gen 3 and also the Snapdragon 8s gen 3. They are also midrange and upper midrange chips. For the same price of the A55 you get much better hardware on competing devices.

Exynos has been behind for a while now. You can't expect someone who started a race ten minutes after everyone else to catch up in 1 second

[–] limerod@reddthat.com 3 points 1 month ago

While, you cannot catchup to someone who started 10mins before. This is intentionally being behind. The exynos only slightl exceeds the performance of Snapdragon 778G from A52s two generations before.

If samsung can make powerful flagship chips they can also make powerful midrange chips. They choose not to, to save costs.

And burns through twice as much energy!
