I’m not a huge fan of Qualcomm as a company, but what the hell will be in my next flagship phone I’m planning to buy next summer? Some weird chinese chipset? Or crappy Google CPU?

Probably a Snapdragon X Elite Extreme Ultra Mega Pro XxxxX or whatever their naming scheme is now.
The odds that ARM will get an injunction preventing Qualcomm from selling chips is basically zero. The courts are rarely going to torpedo an entire company over a dispute like this when the facts are very much in dispute and very… subjective.
This is a scenario where nothing changes until the case ends and then either ARM has to build another moneybin to store their settlement, or literally nothing happens.
Dimensity 9400 is spectacular. the 9300 was very good too, but the new 9400 is amazing. It fully matches Snapdragon 8 Elite (Gen 4)
It even beats it narrowly on battery, which used to be the strongest point of Snapdragon over Dimensity.

MediaTek 9400 fits within 10% of Snapdragon 8 Elite, so if you don’t intend to load a custom ROM, I’d say there are options.
I’m never on stock ROM. That’s the problem
