I like to see the computer, battery, wifi/cellular radio, etc all be strapped to the my belt rather than next to the eye/brain. It is like installing a tiny microwave oven next to your brain and running it continuously. Whatever

I love to the TDP # when 64 cores are running 2.6G. Also like to know the L1, L2, L3 #. It is hard for any system company to sell CPU. Apple is only for their own use. I believe the Samsung's AP is for their own use also.

Very cool demo video. Wonder if phone camera + AI software can do equivalent demo today? Training to just recognize certain type of fingers movement seems trivial for AI now.

900KWH / (400WH/kg ) =2250kg > 2 ton for battery ? That seem to be non trivial amount of weight. I am curious how that compare to weight of typical fuel + engine for a small plane.

Slightly different Point of view: HW needs infrastructure. It needs Packages, materials, PCB houses etc ideally all near by, with good transportation networks, etc. That was what ShenZhen was good at. It took very low cost labors an
