So the 801 for all of 2014
Too little, too late, Qualcomm. A57 cores aren't even as fast as Apple's current A7 cores and you're telling us to wait until next year?
You used to custom design your own ARM processors. Why are you picking off-the-shelf A57's instead of making your own improved versions?
The increases in performance from gen-to-gen on their SoC is considerable. And I really doubt Apple will be able to blindside them twice in the same decade. But who knows.
Wow, Tom's continues to impress with the stupidity of the commenters.
I can remember for years discussing the differences between AMD and Intel, ATI and Nvidia and going over the technical differences. Now when Apple CLEARLY is far more advanced in ARM processor design suddenly everyone's IQ dropped to 50 and they throw logic out the window.
Truly pathetic that anyone could dislike a company so much that they're completely blind to FACTS.
I'd suggest people go read Anandtechs latest article on the A7, but I doubt anyone will for fear of their heads exploding in nerd rage at finding out just how far behind Samsung, Qualcomm and ARM really are.
So you want to claim you're "explaining" things yet you're ignoring what I've said? You claimed Samsung made "considerable" gen-to-gen increases in their SoC's, yet I provided hard data that shows this isn't true. So you're going to ignore that and make general statements like "ultra narrow scope" without providing ANY actual facts to back up your statement?Using words like "stupidity" and "pathetic" to get your point across is indicative of a nerd rage buddy. You're the one who dislikes Samsung and Qualcomm to a degree that you're blind to the facts. I just stated that Apple's A7 caught the market by surprize. They introduced next gen technology last gen. Kudos to them. So now every Qualcomm/Snapdragon processor that comes out from then 'til now is garbage because in your mind the A7 is as good as it gets? Take that abrasive crap over to Anandtech instead of insulting people for trying to explain things to you.

People flock to buy inferior products ? I think not.Then you on on to state Samsung has higher market share. WTH does market share have to do with the quality of their SoCs?
McDonalds uses the finest quality beef and ingredients for their burgers and foods - look it up.McDonalds sells the most burgers so by your logic that means they make the best burgers.
Why don't you look up the data from the chart I provided and crunch the numbers yourself? Apple's A7 is, by far, the fastest performing ARM core. The ONLY reason a Snapdragon or Exynos can show similar (or very slightly better) performance is because A) they use twice the cores and B) they run a full 1.0GHz faster. You actually think that's impressive?
And I see you complete avoided my mentioning of how wide the A7 is or its reorder buffer. Why is that? I thought you wanted a technical discussion?
