Samsung confirms Exynos 2600 will be the first 2nm chipset on the market
Samsung published its quarterly financial report today, which saw total operating profits down by over 50% as its semiconductor business took a massive hit. Despite the unfavorable financial results, the earnings call did reveal a bright spot for the company's upcoming Exynos 2600 chip – it will be fabbed on Samsung Foundry's 2nm Gate-All-Around (GAA) process and will be the first 2nm chipset on the market once it launches alongside the Galaxy S26 series.

Samsung also confirmed that its upcoming Exynos 2600 chipset will be fabbed on the 2nm Gate-All-Around (GAA) process.
According to a leaked Geekbench listing, Exynos 2600 will feature a ten-core CPU just like the Exynos 2500 but with an altered core arrangement.
As per the listing, Exynos 2600 will offer a 1+3+6 configuration, where the single prime core is clocked at 3.55 GHz, 3x performance cores running at 2.96 GHz and 6x efficiency units at 2.46 GHz. The CPU will be joined by an Xclipse 960 GPU, which is expected to offer up to 15% better performance than the Adreno 830 inside Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite.
Exynos 2600 is expected to debut on the Galaxy S26 Pro and S26 Edge, while the S26 Ultra should stick with Qualcomm's flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite 2.

Nintendo sold almost 6 million Switch 2 units in less than a month
The Switch 2 continues to be a very successful product for Nintendo. Following over 3.5 million units sold in the first week, Nintendo has now announced that it's sold 5.82 million units by the end of June. That's almost a full month of availability, and the number is more than double what the original Switch managed in its first month on the market - 2.7 million units sold. Nintendo says demand for the Switch 2 is still exceeding supply "in many countries", and regrets the inconvenience this is causing. It's promised to increase production to match demand everywhere. The Switch 2 has become the fastest-selling game console of all time. The Switch 2's success has driven a 132% rise in quarterly revenue for Nintendo in Q2 (April to June), up to $3.8 billion, compared to Q2 2024 (around $1.6 billion). The company is forecasting 15 million Switch 2 units sold by the end of March next year. It remains to be seen how US tariffs may or may not impact that, as the Trump administration has just announced a 20% tariff on imports from Vietnam, where the Switch 2 is manufactured (up from 10% before).

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE full specs leak
Vlad, 01 August 2025 Samsung's Galaxy S25 FE has been in the rumors a lot lately, and today a full list of its most important specs has been outed. Let's dive right in. The phone is powered by the Exynos 2400 SoC, a slight upgrade from the Exynos 2400e in its predecessor. This is paired with 8GB of RAM and 128 or 256GB of storage. Samsung Galaxy S24 FE The S25 FE comes with a 6.7-inch 1080x2340 AMOLED screen with 120 Hz refresh rate and Gorilla Glass Victus on top, a 50 MP main camera with f/1.8 aperture and OIS, a 12 MP f/2.2 ultrawide, an 8 MP f/2.4 telephoto with 3x optical zoom and OIS, a 12 MP f/2.2 selfie snapper, and a 4,500 mAh battery with support for 45W wired and 15W wireless charging. It measures 161.3 x 76.6 x 7.4mm and weighs 190g. It's IP68 rated for dust and water resistance. It will launch running Android 16 with One UI 8 on top. So, compared to its predecessor, the S25 FE has a better chipset, a higher-res selfie camera, faster wired charging, and a smaller battery - the S24 FE has a 4,700 mAh cell. That wasn't a great size to begin with, but cutting it even further... we can't say we necessarily understand Samsung's logic here. Anyway, according to Samsung itself, the S25 FE will launch earlier in the year than the S24 FE did - and that one was unveiled at the end of September.
