Samsung Galaxy S25 FE chipset drama continues with an interesting Geekbench listing

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S25 FE was first rumored to employ the same Exynos 2400e chipset as its predecessor. Then, we got word that there was a chance of Samsung going with the Dimensity 9400 instead. Today, it seems like neither of those rumors were true. A Galaxy S25 FE prototype has seemingly run Geekbench, and as always this has revealed its chipset, which is the Exynos 2400. Not the 2400e found in the S24 FE, but the 2400, which has a prime CPU core clocked 100 MHz higher. Samsung Galaxy S25 FE SM-S731U confirmed to feature Exynos 2400 chipset.Specifications🔳 Exynos 2400 SoC🎮…

Samsung is preparing a new Galaxy AI gallery feature

According to a tipster on X, Samsung is preparing to include an image-to-video generation feature in its Galaxy AI suite. Unfortunately, the tipster doesn’t elaborate further and only mentions the image-to-video AI feature. This report comes shortly after Google announced the advanced video generation capabilities of Gemini. Given that the two companies work closely together and Gemini is already the default virtual assistant on Galaxy phones, Samsung may leverage Gemini’s AI capabilities.

Microsoft Says ‘We’re Faster Than a Mac’ in Latest Windows PC Ad

Microsoft today shared a new ad on YouTube with the tagline “we’re faster than a Mac.”



In the video, Microsoft says the top-end Windows PCs with Copilot+ branding are up to 58% faster than the previous-generation MacBook Air with the M3 chip, based on Cinebench 2024 multi-core CPU benchmark results. The ad is citing old figures that were reported on all the way back in May 2024, so take that as you will.

While the ad is using an older MacBook Air for comparison purposes, Microsoft’s fine print does say some Copilot+ PCs are still faster than even the latest MacBook Air models with the M4 chip, based on the same Cinebench 2024 benchmark.

Some of the Copilot+ PCs that were tested include Lenovo’s Yoga Slim 7x with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite processor, Microsoft’s Surface Laptop with the Snapdragon X Elite, and HP’s OmniBook Ultra 14 with AMD’s Ryzen AI 9 HX 375.

While it is true that some PC chips are faster than Apple silicon chips in certain tests, Apple said the M4 family of chips continues to offer industry-leading performance per watt. This impressive power efficiency results in the MacBook Air having fast performance, long battery life, and a thin and light design without an internal fan.

In the end, using Windows over macOS remains a dealbreaker for some customers regardless.
