Does anyone know if there is any processor(in phone) with SVE/SVE2? As SVE/SVE2 SHOULD be in all new ARMv9.0-A + CPU cores.

I did have a chance to test only Qualcomm Snapdragon cores ( Samsung Galaxy S23).

Snapdragon 800 -> Snapdragon 8 Gen N is terrible marketing. It makes everything sound like a point release.

Snapdragon 888 probably the first one have SVE, Snapdragon 7/8 gen all have Qualcomm® Type-1 Hypervisor, so what's your test, abel to run any linux on it?

My headcanon is that Snapdragon 875 would've been a great chip unlike the infamously overheating 888.

I believe their biggest failure in branding is to not put out Raspberry Pi-like small boards for people to experiment. Anyone with a slight interest in computers knows an M3 is a beast and that an i3 is meh. Almost nobody outside Qualcomm knows why a Gen 8 N is better than an 800 and what the difference would be.

I remember having Snapdragon 800 in my LG G2. It was a beast at the time!

They do in fact put those out. That said the pricing is not at all Pi like. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 board goes for north of a thousand dollars.
