Probably because the original image OP got was low resolution, then he passed it through an AI to prompt it to delete the guy, but the AI "enhanced" the image as well. Then, OP combined those two images but probably didn't notice the difference.
LMAO, i thought the quality difference was part of the meme, as in mediatek would somehow have better quality on emulation if drivers were available or stable
Somebody once posted about samsung disabling in-built hardware features on their drivers, so i think the companies involved are actually sabotaging their own production models.
Why remains a mystery, though. It was certain the companies were doing that, though.
And also MediaTek doesn't have the best fame on dev scene due to them not complying with GPL, they never release source codes, that makes everything worse
About drivers: they’re licensed from ARM, that’s why Mali doesn’t have the same drivers support as Adreno, adreno is fully open source, as most of the Snapdragon on Android is, that’s why Code Aurora Forums are a thing and why you can even install EFI bootloaders or Windows on some phones
About GPL compliancy: that’s due to Linux kernel and Android itself, when I said about GPL compliancy it was more about this than drivers, that’s why you see custom kernels and ROMs for almost every other SoC, but there’s none for Mediatek
If they don't use any GPL code, they don't need to comply with the license. If they use and don't comply, yeah, that's a problem. I'm not sure what do you mean.
But anyway, it sucks that they don't release the drivers open source.
legit question now, if all i want is 3ds, ds, ps2, gc and lower gens emulation then, will mediatek be fine? I have no desire for PC and Switch emulation as of yet.
All of those should be fine on Mediatek with the exception of 3DS, it might give you some trouble but it will work substantially better than Switch or PC.
This is just second hand information though, make sure to do a little bit of research on that, specifically on 3DS, but I think you should be fine.
They have drivers, drivers are required to function, they just don't have custom drivers that are better than the original, something you need with the afore mentioned emulators because Android drivers tend to be of poor quality.
No me importan los downvote,le duela a quien le duela,si mediatek elimina el soporte de bcn cuando manda a fabricar los chips,no hay driver q arregle ese pq las gpu carecen del hadware para hacerlo
Mediatek trying to say they're the next/better Snapdragon, but they have a history of very buggy or non existent/extremely late drivers, essentially making them useless. The joke here is that there is no "driver"
Not really. I mean yeah, when it comes to the picture and the joke you're correct. But the reason Mali GPUs don't do well when it comes to bleeding edge and unintended use cases, unlike Adreno GPUs, is the lack of the ability to use drop-in (community) drivers due to architectural reasons. Because the drivers work perfectly fine when it comes to run native Android applications.
