A new debate about gaming optimization services (GOS)?

There was a post about Samsung's failed foundry order that I introduced last time, right?
Samsung failed to win the foundry order... Global competition is brutal 💀
They say that the cause of the GOS performance degradation, which is the cause of the technology failure, may be due to misunderstanding
With the release of a new Snapdragon
As Qualcomm's new release of Snapdragon, an application processor for mobile devices, is just around the corner, attention is being paid to whether it can be a new breakthrough in Samsung Electronics' foundry business, which has recently been under concern.
Qualcomm plans to unveil its new AP, Snapdragon 8 Gen1+, as early as next month. This product is a follow-up to Snapdragon 8 Gen1, which was applied to Samsung Electronics' flagship new Galaxy S22 series this year, and is a version with a higher clock value than the previous one. The previous Snapdragon 8 Gen1 was exclusively produced by Samsung Electronics' foundry and installed in the Samsung Galaxy S22 series, and was criticized by consumers for not being able to bypass or delete gaming optimization services that forcibly degrade performance for certain apps such as games.
Qualcomm entrusted all of its consignment production of Snapdragon 8 Gen1+ products to TSMC in Taiwan. This will allow us to see the difference in yield and manufacturing process between TSMC and Samsung Foundry!
Could it be Qualcomm's problem?
However, some say that such a performance degradation may be a problem in the design process, not in the foundry manufacturing process. This is because of the news that the heat problem that occurred in the previous product has not been solved in the new product.
In this regard, Chinese IT media ITZA recently quoted sources as saying that Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen1+'s Cortex-X2 core consumes considerably, and power consumption at high clocks seems particularly serious.
It is known that Qualcomm's processor is experiencing power consumption due to Samsung's poor process, but in fact, the problem may be caused by ARM core design. Qualcomm predicted that it would downgrade the clock feed of the Cortex-X2 core.
What is Samsung's response?
Samsung's response is cautious, right? From the standpoint of consignment production of semiconductors through Qualcomm's design, they can't blame everything for design mistakes. Anyway, can they take a breather about the embarrassing position on the GOS last time?
Samsung says they are continuously trying to collect customer opinions to expand options and provide optimal performance. Also, Samsung is announcing that they will provide performance priority options by updating software as soon as possible.
What is the stance of Galaxy 22 users?
Looking at the Samsung members community in Korea, there was a debate among Galaxy S22 series users over the GOS app. Opinions were divided over the installation of the GOS app, but they were generally opposed.
The GOS issue was first raised in Korea and spread to overseas communities. Accordingly, users of the Galaxy S22 series around the world are voicing one voice to improve GOS.
In Korea, there is also a movement to file a class action suit against Samsung Electronics. Naver Cafe, which recruits litigants, has increased its membership to 1,500 in two days.
The representative of the litigants is indignant by saying the following.
"Although Galaxy S22 was known as a flagship smartphone, it actually prevented the device from performing properly through GOS. Samsung Electronics did not notify this at the time of purchase, and users who purchased it by pre-booking use it with lower performance than the flagship model two years ago."
I hope the cause is well identified and solved well, and we can get the results we want...
