Hmm, I feel like I've read this before. Oh right, the HiSilicon K3V2, which at the time was touted as the fastest ARM CPU for mobile devices. Except in real usage it was downclocked ~40% (including the memory) to keep temperatures low (still overheated) and the GPU performance was underwhelming. Really nice chip for tinkering with, no limits on any clocks or voltages, you could do anything you wanted with it.
- arghwhat 8y agoNo you haven't. HiSilicon K3V2 is a 6 years old mobile chipset built on ancient 40nm technology with DDR2 RAM, so like every other mobile chipset in existence, it has massive thermal issues due to non-existent cooling—even more so due to the terrible manufacturing process. This is a server CPU built with modern processes, so thermal problems are out of the way.

I'm not dissing on the new chip, it's just that everyone claims their brand new silicon has the highest performance to date in their press releases.
