Xiaomi's homegrown chip has more powerful specs on Geekbench as it rivals Snapdragon 8 Elite AP
2x Cortex-X925 CPU prime cores running at a maximum clock speed of 3.9GHz.
4x Cortex-A725 CPU performance cores running at a maximum clock speed of 3.4GHz.
2x Cortex-A725 CPU performance-efficiency cores running at a maximum clock speed of 1.9GHz.
2x Cortex-A520 CPU efficiency cores running at a maximum clock speed of 1.8GHz.
The XRING 01 features a 16-core Arm Immortalis-G925 GPU and produced 2,709 and 8,125 single-core and multi-core scores respectively on the Geekbench 6 app. The AP was powering the Xiaomi 15S Pro during the test. That compares to the numbers put up by the Snapdragon 8 Elite driving the Xiaomi 15 Pro which were 2919 (single-core) and 8,699 (multi-core). The multi-core score for the XRING 01 shows that it is only 7% slower than Qualcomm's current flagship AP.

Wall Street research firm surpisingly says that this foundry is the only alternative to TSMC
Many of you are familiar with TSMC, the Taiwan-based foundry that has a dominating 67.6% market share in the contract chip manufacturing industry. Its client list sounds like a who's who of tech leaders. Apple is its biggest client, and TSMC also produces chips for companies like Nvidia, AMD, Qualcomm, MediaTek, Sony, and Broadcom. Its top competitor is Samsung Foundry, but calling the latter a rival to TSMC is like calling the San Jose Sharks rivals of the back-to-back Stanley Cup Champion Florida Panthers. The other day, we told you about the first sign indicating that Samsung Foundry could be starting a turnaround. Tesla placed an order for $16.5 billion worth of chips, and the contract runs until 2033. But Samsung has a huge gap to fill as its 7.7% market share is nearly 6,000 basis points behind TSMC. Samsung Foundry has had serious issues with low yields, which could end up raising the prices of chips sold to clients. Samsung Foundry recently announced a $16.5 billion deal with Tesla to make its AI6 chip. | Image credit-X A foundry's yield measures the percentage of usable chips divided by the maximum number that could have been made on a silicon wafer. A low yield means that the customer has to pay more to get the number of non-defective chips it needs. With it weighed down by low yields, many in the industry wondered how Samsung Foundry could get a new customer, and whether Samsung would sell off the unit. Even though Intel's experiment to create a contract chip manufacturing unit to challenge TSMC and Samsung hasn't exactly paid off as expected, Intel is still going ahead with the production of advanced chips. But most of these components will be used by Intel itself. So far, Intel Foundry Services (IFS) has been a major flop as the company has zero significant external customers and the foundry's market share isn't in the top ten globally. Making matters worse, Intel is losing huge amounts of money. It has even taken hundreds of millions in write-offs for equipment it bought but has no use for. With construction delays slowing down the building of fabs in Ohio, and the cancellation of projects in Germany and Poland, it is hard to understand why some analysts still see Intel as a reasonable alternative to TSMC. One Wall Street research firm, Bernstein, says that Samsung Foundry is the only logical choice to be an alternative to TSMC. In a note to its clients, Bernstein, after the $16.5 billion deal between Samsung Foundry and Tesla was announced, wrote, "The world needs a leading-logic semiconductor producer in addition to TSMC, and that Samsung…is better positioned than Intel to be the alternative." Bernstein says that the announced deal for the AI6 custom-designed AI chips for Tesla will result in peak annual revenue for Samsung Foundry of $2 billion-$2.5 billion. The research firm says that for the length of the deal, the contract will contribute only $8 billion to Samsung Foundry's revenue. But this isn't necessarily bad news for Samsung Foundry. Bernstein says that the value of the contract Tesla has with Samsung is much lower than the disclosed US$16.5B." But the Wall Street firm notes that Tesla CEO Elon Musk says that the potential valuation of the contract could be "several times higher" than the initially reported $16.5 billion indicating that besides building chips for Tesla's vehicles, some of the contract could cover the manufacturing of chips for robotics or other products. Bernstein says that the $16.5 billion deal with Tesla could raise Samsung Foundry's revenue by 30% to 40% and the improvement to Samsung Foundry's profitability should be higher. The Wall Street research firm says that Samsung Foundry's fab in Taylor, Texas, is currently running at low capacity; this deal should help that fab's business grow.. As for what will happen to TSMC in light of the deal between Tesla and Samsung Foundry, Bernstein says that "The impact on TSMC is negligible." The research firm estimates that the amount of revenue Tesla generates for TSMC is very low.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE review
It's neither the Z Flip7, nor is it the Z Flip6 - Samsung's come up with a second-tier clamshell foldable in 2025 and the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE carries the 7 in the name, but is more like the 6 in most ways. No longer satisfied with offering a clamshell and a book-style foldable, Samsung is diversifying things by having two clamshells in addition to the Fold. A two Flips approach does seem to make sense - Motorola has had two Razrs in most markets, and competing at more price points is probably good for the bottom line. The Galaxy Z Flip7 FE, in true FE fashion, comes with certain hardware concessions, though it's seemingly not as dramatic a downgrade compared to the 'real' model, as is the case with the S-series and their FEs. Indeed, this FE is more of a reissue of last year's model. The Z Flip7 FE reuses the Z Flip6's cameras, but then so does the Z Flip7. Unlike the Z Flip7, however, here we're looking at the same body as the 2024 model, same displays, same battery, same most things. Well, the chipset is different - an Exynos 2400, like some S24s had - and Samsung figured 12GB of RAM is too much for an FE, so it's 8GB instead. The Z Flip7 FE does start its life at Android 16, though, two more than the Z Flip6, so there's that. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE 5G specs at a glance: Body: 165.1x71.9x6.9mm, 187g; Plastic front (unfolded), glass back (Gorilla Glass Victus 2), aluminum frame; IP48 dust and water resistant (dust > 1mm; immersible up to 1.5m for 30 min), Armor aluminum frame. 165.1x71.9x6.9mm, 187g; Plastic front (unfolded), glass back (Gorilla Glass Victus 2), aluminum frame; IP48 dust and water resistant (dust > 1mm; immersible up to 1.5m for 30 min), Armor aluminum frame.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE unboxing Little is different in the presentation on the Z Flip7 FE compared to the Z Flip7 or the Z Flip6. The phone comes in a slim-line graphite cardboard box, unfolded, face down. No charger is provided, but there's still a USB-C cable included - Samsung's basic 3A one, which won't be a bottleneck given the 25W charging rating. There's also a SIM tool tucked in there somewhere. Page 2

Here's when the tri-fold Huawei Mate XTs is coming and how much it should cost
Vlad, 30 July 2025 A few days ago some more details leaked regarding Huawei's upcoming successor to the Mate XT, the original tri-fold smartphone, which launched last year. Now, a new source purports to bring us the exact launch date for the Mate XTs, which is apparently what the new device will be called. It will allegedly be presented on September 12, which is the same week that Apple will launch the iPhone 17 family, according to a recent rumor. Huawei Mate XT That's interesting timing to say the least. If true, perhaps Huawei wants to steal some of Apple's thunder, so to speak, which it may very well succeed in doing inside China, where it reigns supreme. The Mate XTs is rumored to cost around CNY 20,000, which at the current exchange rates means $2,786 or €2,422. For reference, note that the original Mate XT started at CNY 19,999, so its successor will be priced about the same. The Mate XTs will compete head-on in the Chinese market with Samsung's upcoming tri-fold smartphone, which is going to be announced later this year and has been rumored to only launch in Korea and China at first. It remains to be seen what that model's pricing will be. Huawei Mate XT Ultimate 1TB 16GB RAM $ 4,600.20 Source 1 (in Chinese) | Source 2 (in Chinese) | Via
