0:00 Intro
0:46 Exynos takes on Qualcomm
3:39 Micromax looking promising
4:40 The world's largest IPO, cancelled

AMD licensed their RDNA graphics architecture to Samsung, they will probably take mobile graphics performance to the next level with that

[TheFridayCheckout]

Question for y'all:
Was the Ant Financial IPO news interesting? Or should I do more phone/gadget news?

[heroicnoodle]

I think Jack Ma gave his speech because he was aware of ongoing investigations.
There are many power struggles ongoing in the Communist Party of China and Jack Ma is on the losing side. He was allied with the previous Chairman, Jiang Zemin, who is an enemy of Xi Jinping. Probably Jiang Zemin does not hold much power anymore, he is 94 years old, but the power struggle between his allies and the allies of Xi Jinping is still a reality.

By the way: there are power struggles within both sides as well. An example are recent clashes between Xi Jinping and the premier Li Keqiang.

In China the way to power is winning power struggles. This is not only true for politicians but for billionaires as well.
So I'm sure the cancellation of the IPO of the Ant Group has much deeper reasons than the speech of Jack Ma. As I said, the speech might only have been a move we can see on the periphery.

Finally, Qualcomn has become really cocky with their pricing and 5G Modem bundeling shenanigans with the 865!

Linus needs to learn about sponsor transitions from you. Wow. Wow.

Instant like for not talking about the US elections. Thank you very much. Our mental health appreciate it.

[D-ny]

[sameershaik]

I have to say, the way you introduce nebula and curiosity stream in every video is just seamless👍

[harvc]

Mister "they Jack(ed) Ma' money"

[why_tho_]

Finally Mediatek and Exynos are starting to become hardcore competitors for Qualcomm.

[samlovestech]

The power was never an issue with exynos the battery life and overheating was a BIG problem

[praneshkandasamy]

Companies realised that US has control over their only chip maker TSMC. So samsung saw a clear space to capture and others companies welcomed it.

[TheFourthWinchester]

Call me crazy but Micromax branding is eerily similar to Apple always touting its 'Americanness' even though iPhones are Chinese made.

[MaiONerds]

Finally someone talking about the freaking new Micromax company. Damn it you deserve my like

[SolinoOruki]

What I like about him is the fact that while I disagree with some of his predictions and analysis, he just feels like someone I can easily be friends with.

[MyReviews_karkan]

I love how big companies just "fire" a big chunk of their employees just because they had an idea that failed.

[josefujoestar]

He says "it looks HOT" and boi oh boi it will be hotter in your hand than u can imagine

[mikeism]

Arm architecture will eventually take over. There low power consumption to power is unmatched. Amazing

[cunxu]

I just hope kirin can also get back on the competition
