Logic Density (may be inaccurate, also it's not the only metric for performance ): Raipidus 2nm ≈ TSMC N2 > TSMC N3B > TSMC N3E/P > Intel 18A ≈ Samaung 3GAP

But 18A/20A already has PowerVia, while TSMC will implement Backside Power Delivery in A16 (next generation of N2)

I don't know how popular of unlock, but AFAIK, they want to remove bloatware (like the Scam Protection APP from government, or Advertisement APP from mobile carrier), unlock hardware restriction (higher refresh rate) and some other reasons.

here are some past papers. For example:

  Regarding the Service in Android's four major components, please do not select the correct statements from the following [Multiple Choice Question]

    1. Service must perform time-consuming operations in the main thread, otherwise it may cause stuttering

    2. Among Android's four major components, Service runs in the background and definitely will not block the main thread  

    3. Service's lifecycle does not depend on the Activity that starts the Service

    4. A Service can only be started once; multiple calls to the startService() method have no effect
    
    5. Service can use the stopSelf() method to stop the service
Since 1,2,3,4 are wrong, but the problem asks "do not select the correct statements", you need to choose 1,2,3,4.

It show not only how hard the problem, but they also play on words. You also need to answer 13 questions in 15 minutes. And scoring more than 85 points to have a chance to unlock it.

Because the exam difficulty is too high, some people even go to official repair centers requesting a downgrade, and snatch the phone when the technicians unlock and reflash the firmware.

UPDATE: fix the score requirement and the correct answer.
