MSM8998 might seem dated with shiny new 855 being around. But that was the best we could get (and afford) when R&D starts. Despite being a 2017 SoC, it's still have one of the top tier performance, which will easily out perform anything so far in 6 series, even the 710 on benchmark. We know we are weaker than SD 845 and 855, but it should be better than probably the rest of all SoCs. And it's 10nm structure has a very good reputation on power control. Back to topic, I will PM you separately about how we could contribute or work together on mainlining the SoC. It would certainly be a good direction not relying on Hybris.
