So did they intentionally just leave Sammy out in the cold or what, cause I'm pretty sure their slack-assed Exynopo thingy aint got nothin on the SD 8.3

Something tells me Samsung doesn't actually want their name on this press release, to be lumped together with the likes of everyone else.

But usually it's a safe bet that Samsung basically debuts the new gen SoC in much of the western world, so it really doesn't matter.

I don't care about all this AI hubbub, I want to see performance. AI powered features have been creeping in but the only one I actually notice and value on S23 is auto image crop, and it works consistently probably less than 50% of the time.

Exynos 2400 is apparently competitive on the cpu front, but still slower for GPU. Alas Scamsung seems hellbent on forcing more of the world onto Exynos next year. No doubt Exynos will use a lot more power as is the usual case.

looks like it also has upscaler and frame generation support?

Why would I want to use a shitty little phone for productivity or any sort of real work? I don't need generative AI BS on a phone.
