Qualcomm's New Snapdragon 821 Is 10 Percent Faster Than the 820 (theverge.com) 30
An anonymous reader shares a report on The Verge: Qualcomm has announced a new flagship mobile processor called the Snapdragon 821. The 821 is a slight update to the Snapdragon 820 that debuted in smartphones earlier this year and promises modest performance gains. The 820 has been found in virtually every high-end Android smartphone this year, including Samsung's Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, the HTC 10, the LG G5, the OnePlus 3, and the Xiaomi Mi5. In our experience, we've found it to be quite a capable chip, with great performance and efficient power utilization. It's a far cry from last year's Snapdragon 810, which was plagued with performance and thermal issues. Qualcomm says the Snapdragon 821 builds upon the 820's features, but provides a 10 percent performance increase. Its quad-core CPU runs at 2.4GHz.AnandTech has more details.

Such amazing news! A new processor is slightly faster than the previous model!

They need to give the process a catchy name like "tick tock" or something. That will make it sound better than it is. Then they can repeatedly whore out small, incremental improvements like it's the second coming or something.

Hint: if one can't get laid with 5" it isn't the hardware that fails - it's the software (= personality, appearance).

Mod parent up. The poor working class men who are married are either hitched with their highschool sweetheart or they married a woman who felt it was time to 'settle and get it over with'.
Captcha: settle (seriously)

To add to what I already said: At least around where I live (Toronto, Canada) that's how it works. Maybe in a much poorer city in a different province it's different but here, unless you're rolling in it or you marry really really young, all you have to pick from are left overs (not in a good way).

If you want to hook up with beauty fixated shallow women maybe you should put some effort in your own appearance?
Most complainers about not getting women doesn't even have a proper hygiene...

No I did not. Women in general doesn't fixate on looks, money nor length of the 2nd-head neck. Just try to be a nice guy instead - not the complainer kind of "nice" which in general is being clingy, strongly dependent etc., most women doesn't want to act as a mother to a grown man. Also women aren't stupid, hiding a misogynistic personality with a "niceness" veneer just doesn't work.

Anyone for whom this news is important, interesting, or titillating is probably in the loop already. Everyone else probably lost interest at "10%". I find it hard to believe this submission was modded up by enough Slashdot members to have made the cut, unless "slownewsday" now counts as an upvote instead of a downvote.
