Apple M1 Powerhouse for Smartphones but Not Comparable to Ryzen 7
The M1 doesn’t hold a candle to high powered chips like the Ryzen 7 4800H in raw CPU power, but it smashes comparable 15W chips like the i7–1065G7.

While the Ryzen 7 4800H does seriously outperform the M1 in Cinebench R23, they are almost equal in Geekbench, and the M1 iGPU trounces the Vega GPU on the Ryzen by almost a factor of 2X, for impressive entry-level gaming in titles that support it. With such great performance “out of the box” Apple can now focus on delivering the complete package which already includes the best trackpad, speakers, and webcam in the mobile industry. Apple now needs to focus on a case redesign to accommodate updated screens and a better port selection, so it can knock the Dell XPS off of its overpriced Intel-driven high horse.
The M1 ecosystem has plenty of issues right now as one might expect, but it probably has the most fervent dev support of any product release in recent memory.
If I were an investor, I would look seriously at Apple to be one stock that will creep back up to that $300 mark.
A Samsung patent described new additions to the inner structure of the foldable device to improve the phone’s resilience. The company’s foldable smartphones are genetically more sensitive to taking damage from drops because they have a fairly complex hinge system and two displays, one of which is a softer foldable panel. The Galaxy Z Fold 2 is more repellent to abuse given the form factor, but the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 3 and/or following models could possess a new design and structural elements that were meant to improve fall resistance. The patent application doesn’t appear to be going into many design details, but the unusual system of rails located inside the phone between the foldable panel and the midframe. It’s not clear if this new rail system would work and provide additional protection in the event of an accidental drop, but that’s obviously the purpose, according to the source. According to the patent applications, it isn’t a guarantee that this approach will become a real product, so perhaps this odd rail system won’t make it in the Galaxy Z Fold 3 or any other consumer device. However, clearly Samsung is working on making its foldable devices more resilient.
Samsung is thinking of new methods in which it can make its foldable flagship phone-tablet hybrids more resilient to shock damage, a new patent application found at the US Patent Office reveals. The patent doesn’t outright mention the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 3 but instead it describes new additions to the inside structure of the foldable form factor designed to improve the phone’s resilience. Samsung’s foldable smartphones are inherently more susceptible to taking damage from drops because they have a fairly intricate hinge system and two displays, one of which is a softer foldable panel. The Galaxy Z Fold 2 is surprisingly resistant to abuse given the form factor, but the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 3 and/or subsequent models could boast new design and structural elements that were meant to improve fall resistance.
