Do you realy believe that SMIC's 7 nm node can match the power- performance curve of TSMC's 3 nm node? Or perhaps their microprocessor design is that much better than Apple's M3 design.

TBF, the original source didnt mention about power efficiency. and there are some other rumors implying that 5nm node is well under way. anyway, time will tell.

Nope, in fact it’s not even as good as TSMC N7, I read somewhere that it’s equivalent to TSMC N12

TBF, considering the Kirin 9000 saw significant performance regression when switching from TSMC to SMIC, I doubt SMIC 5nm will level the playing field.

significant performance regression? i am sure if you are trolling or not, but they have almost same performance in test runs and benchmarks

Yes, the kirin 9000 (SMIC) has a 25% lower CPU and iGPU clock frequency vs kirin 9000 (TSMC) while using more electricity. All the benchmarks by reputable reviews show this performance regression.

Where you get that from? I swear any news is taken as fact as long as it’s anti-china

kirin 9000 tsmc 5nm vs Kirin 9000s smic 7nm why are you surprised it’s less efficient?

SMIC 7nm is compared to TSMC N12 due to the frequency-power curve. If it takes more power to produce 25% slower clock rates, that yields a frequency-power curve that is worse than TSMC N7 and on par with TSMC N12.

P.S. I see you are new to these forums so I will kindly inform you to remain civil when engaging other members.

I'd like a trustworthy source for that statement. Only benchmarks prove nothing about actual performance.
