Anonymous, 26 Dec 2022Qualcomm doesn't manufacture chips. And what heating issues are you referring to?The chip might overheat in a mobile phone, but in a car there is quite a lot more room to make it properly cooled. Not to mention it can heat up the cabin :-D

Lww, 25 Dec 2022Since when Qualcomm manufacturing chipset? They just design it then let TSMC or Samsung to man... moreMan and phone chipsets liek snapdragon are what???
You really are that much clumsy???

Fearghast, 24 Dec 2022Price, capacity, quality, price, being able to produce SOC with required specs, price ... and ... moreWell TSMC is a great company in making Chips they outrun Samsung like nothing but compared to Qualcomm and several other chip manufacturers they just toying in the sanf to be honest.

These big deals usually go two possible ways - money is priority and results/research be damned, or they are picked because of minute detail that are better than competition.

Since Tesla cars are steam capable so anyone can play games TSMC Chips is all else but not a gaming chipset due to overheating and throttling.
But for any other work is a lot better pick than Samsung.

Well this is so true.
