Pretty solid performance efficiency based on those GB6 scores. Yet we’re less than 5 months away from the A19 Pro smacking it down.

Does Xiaomi really care? I suppose as the "Apple imitator" of China they feel they compete with Apple more than the rest, but honestly whether they have 1/2 of A19P's performance or 2x it their most important ace in the hole is Trump's tariff war greatly increasing nationalist fervor and "don't buy American" sentiment in China. Apple's China market is probably doomed no matter how much "smacking" A19P does.

Does anyone outside of us geeks really care about benchmarks though? I doubt anyone will notice any real world performance differences.

You’re both right. I’m just looking at it from a CPU design perspective. I’m biased and want to see American companies stay ahead.

This is impossible as of now cause America has lost the leadership In manufacturing for the last 10 years and it would stay that way.

It was always going to happen at some point, theres way more STEM/engineering grads in China than the US. The incumbent advantage can only lasts so long.

Well yes it was expected cause they didn't give a damm about it.

One of advantages of having 1.3 billion people.
But yeah in addition to that the newly anti-immigrant/foreign student ideology will put the US even further behind.

Here is a blurb from the below article:
Late last month, in a private meeting at the RSAC Conference in San Francisco, a senior U.S. official told a room of cybersecurity executives that Chinese cyber capabilities outmatch those of the U.S., according to a person who was at the discussion. The person declined to name the senior official.

Doesn’t portend good things.
