the main issue IMHO is that competitors are not choosing the right combination of cores and peripherals when designing SoCs. Apple is doing that much better. for example i am not interested in 2x an A53 and 2x an A72. i want an octa core with the fastest A cores available. each time when i tried to find that i ended up in the server processor world with a price tag to match. stuff like 4k video decoders and TPUs are of no interest to me. yet multiple i2s ports or TDM are missing on typical mobile SoCs. AMD has some seriously interesting CPUs these days but unfortunately it seems hard to get access to parts if you are a small time device manufacturer…
