Exynos 2600: The most anticipated success

Image
The anticipation is over and the results are out , An all out one sided decimation by Exynos 2600 Exynos 2600 die shot  Source:Kurnal   Three months after launch, we now know everything about Exynos 2600, and from the reliable results, it's a pretty one-sided win for the 2600. From Gaming to Raw analysis, Exynos 2600 is always ahead. Exynos has gotten a lot of unjustified blind hate in the past, but looks like there is just nothing to hate 2600 for. Why? You may wonder.  The reason is simple  Geekerwan's Exynos 2600 analysis  showed the true hardware performance and efficiency of the 2600 compared to the competition, and it's better than expected. CPU  Geekerwan  According to Geekerwan's sustained multi-core TDP graph, the Exynos 2600 has the highest performance per watt despite being the lowest clocked CPU, consuming 3 watts less than the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 to achieve the same score. The sustained TDP of each processor during the Geekbench multi...

S26 Ultra's Privacy Display Appears on Laptops Again: Flop or Hit?

Image
Privacy displays are making their way into laptops.  As you may know, Samsung introduced a Privacy Display on its latest Ultra flagship of 2026.  While the feature was heavily hyped around its release, the buzz has now cooled down. However, it seems like Samsung is working on bringing these privacy panels to laptops. Laptop Privacy Display   Here is the second look at the laptop privacy display prototype.  The video showcases how this feature will look on a laptop. There is a dedicated key on the keyboard to turn the privacy layer on and off.  But what about the major complaints raised by the S26 Ultra privacy display users about blue tint when viewed from the side, half the resolution, and eye discomfort under long usage? Privacy display   Well, it appears that Samsung has fixed those issues now, and the display does not seem to show the drawbacks reported by S26 Ultra users when the privacy layer is activated.  When can we see these displays on consu...

IPhone 17 Pro max : Just good enough but nothing interesting.

Image
17 Pro max is a not so interesting phone but at the same time interesting phone . Shot on A06 Switching From Samsung to iPhone Broke My Brain Hi, I’m… well, that’s classified for legal reasons. I recently got laid off from Samsung Electronics. Don’t worry, I wasn’t important. If I was important, I probably wouldn’t be writing this article from a café using free Wi-Fi and emotionally recovering from cafeteria coffee. Also before anyone asks, no, I’m not actually Schrödinger, I work for them. Everything is completely fine over there. Nothing exploded. Nobody accidentally trained an AI model on Reddit arguments and YouTube comments. Allegedly. I was also partially responsible for the AI disaster of last year. Sorry about that. Anyways. After spending basically my entire life using Samsung phones, I switched from the Samsung Galaxy S26+ to the iPhone 17 Pro Max, fully expecting to hate it. I expected: locked-down software Apple fans explaining “the ecosystem” like it’s a religion Missing ...

Key GPU details of what seems to be Exynos 2800 Chrome book: Path tracing hardware

Image
EXYNOS 2800 chrome book varient It looks like Samsung is prepping a direct competitor to Apple's M7 base in 2028. New GPU details for the upcoming 1.4nm Exynos chip are here. It looks like another major shift since the Exynos 2200 brought the first hardware ray tracing to a smartphone SoC.  This new chip, theorized to be a "2800" Chromebook variant, reportedly features hardware support for path tracing on mobile. Path tracing vs Ray tracing  Path tracing is an advanced form of ray tracing that simulates realistic light interaction by tracing numerous, randomly bounced rays, resulting in superior photorealism but higher computational demands. Ray tracing (often hybrid) is faster, using fewer, targeted bounces for real-time applications like games, while path tracing is used for offline, high-quality rendering (movies, VFX) As seen in the image comparison below, ray tracing takes shortcuts to reduce load and speed up rendering. In contrast, path tracing adheres to realistic...

IS SAMSUNG NEXT GEN HOLOGRAPHIC DISPLAY THE FUTURE?

Image
SEOUL — For over a decade, the idea of a holographic smartphone has hovered between science fiction and marketing gimmick. But Samsung’s recent progress in Spatial Signage and 3D Plate Technology, showcased at industry events in 2026, suggests something different this time: a slow, deliberate push toward making holography viable at a consumer scale. According to industry chatter, that effort is internally tied to a project codenamed MH1 (Mobile Holographic 1) a display system that could begin redefining mobile interaction by the end of the decade, with early hardware potentially arriving as late as 2030. The H1 concept is not a revival of the 3D displays that briefly appeared in the early 2010s. Those systems relied on fixed viewing angles and often sacrificed clarity. Samsung’s approach appears fundamentally different. Instead of simulating depth, H1 is expected to combine advanced eye-tracking with diffractive beam-steering, allowing images to adjust dynamically to the user’s positi...

Next gen Exynos details emerge : It's a new Groove

Image
Next-gen Exynos designed for the 1.4nm node It looks like we got our hands on the next-gen Exynos processor details, and the CPU looks very interesting ● 2× Prime cores at 4.5 GHz+ ● 4× Medium cores at 3.8 GHz ● 4× Efficiency cores at sub-2 GHz And Integrated 96MB System Level Cache (SLC). Ultra-wide bus width for minimum latency between X- Core and GPU. The efficiency leap is forecasted to achieve a 15% area reduction and a 25% power efficiency gain at iso-frequency compared to SF2 nodes. This is a decent year-over-year (YoY) leap over the 2nm node. We will share more details in the future.   The success of the Exynos 2600 makes this next-gen Exynos very interesting.

SAMSUNG SBS ( Side By Side ) the new star of the Exynos

Source: 2D art turned to 3D using gemini    We are all aware of the usual year-over-year (YoY) performance increases on newer processors. Alongside that, we are often promised efficiency improvements; unfortunately, only one of these usually translates to real-life usage. The other often gets lost in the race for higher benchmark numbers. For the past three years, ARM chipset makers have simply been using new cores and overclocking them to reach peak performance, without a single thought for thermals or stability. But one brand thought differently: "What if, instead of relying on overclocking for higher performance, we fix sustained stability?"   In pursuit of that, HPB (Heat Path Block) was created. HPB is a copper heat sink attached to the Exynos 2600 SoC and RAM in a sandwich-like design. This technology has significantly improved thermal efficiency by pulling heat away from the chips at an incredibly fast speed. This allows for much higher stability than the comp...
