Would be very pleasantly surprised if this holds true.

I was expecting dual X1 cores to be the mainstay of 2022 flagship SOCs, so to see Google do this at least 6 months earlier (Samsung S22 should come out in Feb) could bode well for the Pixel 6 and its public perception.

tbh i'd rather a single x2 and 2-3 a78's myself.

it's really really really going to come down to power consumption. apple just released a phone that can stream video for 28 hours straight. that shouldn't be cpu critical at all, but i still have this feeling that this phone is not going to be power-efficient, that even as one of the first 5nm, it's battery life is not going to be at all impressive.

and it's cores are all already ~2 years old.
