Arm is canceling Qualcomm's chip design license

Samsung and MediaTek make pretty competitive ARM processors.

MediaTek 9400 is literally the top-performing SoC on the market.

Samsung Exynos 2400, 2400e

MediaTek Dimensity 9400, 9300 Plus, 9300

The geekbench scores of Apple are highest and then Qualcomm according to this page. MediaTek’s top chip is literally 25% slower according to his listing.

The ordering in ranking is a little weird.

25% slower than apple is more than enough for a mobile chip. The new apple chips are faster than desktop chips from a few years ago

People do not seem to understand that these chips are in different price brackets, even between Qualcomm and Mediatek. That is why there is a discrepancy in performance.

Would not be fair to compare a $20 toaster to a $50 toaster and say that the $20 toaster is slower.

You got even that wrong. Single-core GB score is highest, multicore is not. Snapdragon's score is higher.

I never thought I would hear MediaTek and top chip maker in the same line
