Interestingly Oryon is at least 2 years late if not 3. And we are seeing the exact same problem with previous Qualcomm attempt in Custom core, it is that ARM has caught up. Cortex X4 is not far off M2, and Cortex X5, which we should have more details later this year is expected, according to their CEO to have the largest IPC improvement in recent Cortex X history. If any Qualcomm competitor could simply buy a similar performance design at a lower cost, what competitive advantage does Qualcomm's custom core have? And from what we are seeing, even the M4 design isn't all that far off from M2 either. Apart from the support ARMv9 which makes certain test in GB6 much quicker. It would be interesting to compare Oryon, M4 and X5 next year. Or we have simply arrived at another point where IPC improvement reaches a plateau. Current leaked or early information of Cortex X5 from Mediatek suggest 1610 GB6 Score at half the clock speed of M4. Assuming no memory bottleneck it would have 3220 GB6 compared to 3800 GB6 of M4. Both on ARMv9.
