    To be fair the Dimensity 9400 is a marvel, the 3nm process and all the technologies in a modern SOC contain more know how and research than sending people to the moon.
    So in a way it’s sort of equivalent to having your own personal moon rocket.

    The cumulative level of expertise required to make a modern SOC is mind blowing. Just imagine aligning multiple masks with nanometer precision! Just a “simple” thing as the light source required is so sophisticated a single “lamp” cost about $300 million USD!! The quantum theory principles used to make the motion sensors, the massive design and logistics behind the development of the billions of logic gates.

    IMO this modern SOC is the “biggest” world wonder humanity has created yet. Who would have imagined it would be so small?

    I mean, isn’t it really good though? Shouldn’t they charge more for a superior product?
