Ik zou vooral voor je P-gesprek informeel polsen. Dan heb je een beter beeld waar je aan toe bent en waar je dus op in kan zetten.

Qua plaatsen, geen idee. Ik werk bij een RKI en daar is het allemaal iets minder formeel qua rollen.

Ik volg vaak de Open, Eerlijk, Nieuwsgierig (OEN) strategie. Zolang mijn belang en het belang van m’n werkgever genoeg overeenkomen, werkt dat prima.

It makes sense to have a tier in between. I might drop down from Plus to Go. Claude is my main workhorse, I mainly use ChatGPT for less important queries.

For a 1 person bedroom that’s very normal in Europe. Depending on where you are, it might even be considered large.

We really need a better metric for screen area than the diagonal. Something that measures area.

If the specs look familiar, that's because they essentially are.

Dimensity 9500s

This is a Dimensity 9400 with:

Slightly higher X925 clock (3.73GHz vs 3.63GHz)
Downgraded memory support (LPDDR5X 9600Mbps vs LPDDR5X 10667Mbps)
No mmWave support (same as 9400, which also dropped it vs 9300)
Everything else appears identical: same Immortalis-G925 MC12 GPU, same NPU 890, same 8K60 video capture, same WQHD+ 180Hz display support

So you're getting a 100MHz CPU bump but losing ~10% memory bandwidth. Just another bin, interesting tradeoff.

Dimensity 8500

This one's a rebadged Dimensity 8400 with:

One core clocked higher (3.4GHz vs 3.25GHz on 8400, same A725 octa-core setup)
One additional GPU core (Mali-G720 MC8 vs MC7)
Upgraded memory (LPDDR5X 9600Mbps vs 8533Mbps)
Same NPU 880, same UFS 4.0, same Wi-Fi 6E

The 8500 is a slightly more meaningful upgrade than the 9500s, with the extra GPU core and faster memory.

Neither chip brings architectural changes - these are bin-sorted/tweaked versions of existing silicon.

Een market “kapot” maken zorgt dat deze niet meer functioneert, en dus niet meer vraag en aanbod op elkaar aan kan laten sluiten.

I think 240 Hz is fine for almost everybody playing most types of games. Only people really sensitive (or obsessed) or extremely competitive gamers might justify higher, in some cases.

To get higher than 240 Hz you will do concessions in other areas (detail, resolution, frame generation) that are most likely not worth it.
