In my video on the Xiaomi XRING O3 piped.video/0Li3nafjVRE I guess that the new CPU is the successor to the Arm C1 because of the O3 has two SME2 units, but the C1 series only has one. However I just analysed the die shot and I could be wrong.

That implies three sets of CPUs, clearly set 1 is the largest, next set 2, and so on. Some leakers online are suggesting 2x C1-Ultra, 4x C1-Prem, 4x C1-Pro.

What confuses me is that Xiaomi specifically said it was 6+4 in their presentation. Technically the C1-Ultra and C1-Prem use the same microarchitecture, so you could group them together as a 6 (made from 2+4).

The /etc/machine-id file contains the unique machine ID of the local system that is set during installation or boot. The machine ID is usually generated from a random source during system installation and stays constant for all subsequent boots.

So it looks like @YouTube has gone bananas. I got a demonetization notice for a video about how to make a Windows app go full screen. I show VLC and how to make it fullscreen. There is a movie playing but only the @UniversalPics logo is actually shown. @YouTubeCreators

The claim from @YouTube is that I am showing the Steve Jobs (2015) movie, which is laughable.
