You can see how bad Samsung's 4nm is, it can't even handle mid-range chips. Great Taiwan goods are good. All hail TSMC.

I was surprised at how well the second generation scored. It has the same nm and Cortex architecture; the only improvement was a new single core. I didn't expect Samsung's performance to be that poor.
