40º return to Spain

by

Last week, meteorologists They warned of a change in the trend Atmospheric, the arrival of heat, with an important rise in temperatures. As the days have advanced, the forecasts have not only confirmed the thermal ascent, they also seem to indicate that some more heat awaits us from the initially planned. Temperatures rise. The last week of May will be marked by the first warm episode of the year, with temperatures above the 35º Celsius in some areas of the southern peninsular. The meteorologist Mario Picazo, in eltiempo.eshe warned of the possibility that the thermometers reach 40º over the next few days. The State Meteorology Agency (AEMET) has issued An informative note To put ourselves on warning of the warm event we have ahead. In the note, Aemet warns of a “quite widespread and progressive” increase, which will leave during the days of Monday and tomorrow Tuesday temperatures between 36º and 38 in the Guadalquivir Valley and the 35º in the Guadiana. Up. The forecasts They point out that the episode will be deepened as the week progresses, being Thursday and Friday the days in which the most heat is expected (although uncertainty is high in the predictions towards the end of the week). Aemet points out that these days the maximum temperatures will be around 35º in the Northern Plateau, 37th in the valleys of the Ebro and the Tagus and 39º in the Bajo Guadiana. The Guadalquivir basin will be the most affected: temperatures of between 40º and 42º are expected. The exceptions. Although a good part of peninsular Spain and the Balearic Islands will witness this warm episode, there is an area that seems to maintain cooler temperatures. It is the Cantabrian and Northern Galicia area. North air currents will prevent the thermometers from triggering in this region. The Canary Islands are also expected to free from the episode, thanks to the Alisios winds. Yellow warning. In addition to the informative note, the agency has also issued The first yellow notices by maximum temperatures of 38º. It will be in force on Wednesday during almost the whole afternoon in the Sevillian countryside region and in the central depression of Lleida. Anticyclonic time The explanation to this sudden heat is simple and is on the Atlantic. It is an anticyclone, whose effects will be noticed in most of the territory. As experts explain, stability awaits at the atmospheric level with clear skies that will imply an increase in insolation and with it the increase in temperatures. According to Details AemetAs of Wednesday, a Dana located between the Canary Islands and the Gulf of Cádiz, will be responsible for the situation worsening on Wednesday. He will do it by dragging “a mass of warm, dry and with suspension dust, of African origin, first on Andalusia and Mar de Alborán and later on the peninsular center.” The first heat wave? Some They wonder now If we can talk about the first heat wave of the season. The answer, for now, is not. The answer, for now, is not. Although there is no precise definition of what a heat wave is, Aemet uses a defined criterion: It would be an “episode of at least three consecutive days, in which at least 10% of the stations considered registered maximums above the 95% percentile of its daily maximum temperatures series of the months of July and August of the period 1971-2000”. As experts explain, this week’s episode is not expected to meet the three temporal, spatial or intensity requirements that define a heat wave.

Thousands of Americans want to flee from the country because of the political climate. And they have a preferential destination: Spain

by

Work from A beach in Bali Or from a hidden place in Costa Rica it was an almost unattainable dream for many high qualification employees. Of those that call white collar. Then 2020 arrived and Everything changed. He Teleworking boom He created a diaspora of professionals, especially Americans, who seek to live in more friendly environments, without giving up the generous salaries offered by the US. The Iberian Peninsula has become the preferred destination in 2025 For those digital nomads. Portugal and Spain, as golden destinations. During the last year, web visitors on Expatriados Expatsi have prepared A survey to 113-363 Americans who were considering leaving the United States and working remotely from other parts of the world. 68% of them showed their preference for Europe as destination from which to work as a digital nomad. Portugal and Spain occupied the first and second place as a favorite destination, although both countries have hardened Its immigration policiesfollowed by the United Kingdom, Canada, Italy, Ireland, France, Mexico, New Zealand and Costa Rica, which close the top 10 of destinations. Reasons for the United States. Among the reasons that the Americans argued To get out of the country It was imposed to venture into new experiences and personal growth with 61% of cases, marking a decrease of more than 10% compared to 2023. However, the perception that the US has become a country too conservative (56% of the answers) and that there is too polarized political climate (53%), have been the reasons that have grown the most during the last year. Something that has also been appreciated in the number of residence applications and American citizenship who want to leave the country In 2025. 48% of respondents ensure that one of the reasons that lead him to want to live outside the US is to avoid the threat of Weapons violence. The fourth importance in importance (with 48%) to abandon the so -called “The Land of Freedom” is, curiously, the search for “different freedoms“. Those who argue this reason ensure that they seek to move to countries in which homosexual relations (60%) and same -sex marriage are allow of cannabis They close the list of freedoms looking for those expatriates. Who wants to live in the Peninsula? The profile of digital nomads looking to leave the US in the coming months are mostly professionals with a partner (44%) and single people (28%). 28% correspond to families with children. The vast majority of candidates to become digital nomads are young between 25 and 44 years (39%). However, there is also a high number of professionals between 55 and 65 years. 30% of them have confessed that intends to retire In their destination countries. The data suggests that 68% of respondents say they want to leave as soon as possible from the US. 12% expect to be able to do it before six months, while 54% expect to do it before 2026. Spain is a country for nomads. The requirements to obtain the digital nomadic visa vary in each country. To request the digital nomad visa in Portugalthe candidate must demonstrate: Stable monthly income: equivalent to four times the Portuguese SMI (about 3,480 euros per month). Demonstible savings: at least 36,480 euros. Remote work: It must be an employee of a company outside Portugal or autonomous. Duration: The initial visa lasts one year and can be renewed annually. For its part, the Requirements for digital nomads in Spain They are somewhat more lax: Monthly income: equivalent to 200% of the monthly Spain SMI, so stable income of at least 2,368 euros per month must be accredited. Remote work: demonstrate a employment relationship with a foreign company or international clients, with minimum age of 3 months and demonstrable professional experience of at least 3 years. Legal requirements: Not having a criminal record and having a valid private insurance in Spain. Duration: The validity of the visa is one year, but you can request extenders until five years.

China has celebrated a kickboxing tournament between humanoid robots, and is as real as disturbing

by

What is just over a decade was only science fiction today has become a real show. In 2011, the movie ‘Real Steel‘I imagined a future in which boxing fighting were starring machines. Fourteen years later, that image has ceased to belong to the cinema: China has just celebrated a Kickboxing competition starring humanoid robots. The event took place in Hangzhou and is part of the CMG World Robot Contest Series, an initiative organized by China Media Group, the largest state audiovisual conglomerate in the country. The competition was broadcast live through CCTV and other official platforms. Currently, a video summary of the tournament It is available on the Central Television website of China. As the aforementioned medium collectsIn the quadrilateral there were four G1 robots manufactured by the Asian company Unitree Robotics. They faced one against one in duels, demonstrating not only gross force, but also agility, coordination and, above all, balance. Of fist tests. Before the official fighting, each robot had its time to heat. The G1 showed their repertoire: lateral displacements, direct blows and reaction to the thrust. During the fighting, they were even able to execute a Kip-Upan acrobatic maneuver to get up from the ground without using your hands, after being demolished. The rules were clear. Three two -minute assaults. Valid blow score to the trunk or head, both with hands and feet. Penalizations if a robot could not get up in eight seconds after a fall. In case of draw, he decided the technical score. In the final, the robot controlled by an influencer called Lu Xin took the title. The competition comes a few weeks after another event that also captured worldwide attention: A Half Marathon held in Beijing where several humanoid robots ran alongside thousands of human participants. So are the G1. According to the manufacturerEach Unitree G1 measures 130 cm, weighs 35 kg and has an external cable design. It is articulated with up to 23 degrees of freedom, which are extended up to 43 in its educational version, and has advanced sensors for vision, movement and environment control. These are some of its key characteristics: Intel Realsense depth chamber D435i and 3D Lidar sensor Four microphones with noise cancellation and stereo speakers of 5 w Permanent magnet synchronous engines with a maximum torque of 120 n · m 9,000 mAh battery, approximate autonomy of two hours Displacement speed: Up to 2 m/s Eight -core CPU, Wi -Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity Possibility of adding the hand DEX3-1, with seven degrees of freedom and optional tactile sensors More than show. According to CCTV coverage, G1 have at least eight basic combat patterns and various complex combinations, such as straight punches, hooks and kicks scheduled. In addition, they have been designed to resist impacts, avoid overheating and maintain balance after receiving blows. Even when they fall, they are able to recover the vertical position in seconds. China already prepares new competitions with humanoid robots for this year, including a multi -sports event in Beijing. Meanwhile, other robotics based on the Asian giant seek to gain ground in homes. Huawei and Ubtech were recently allied to advance in the development of this type of automatons.

We knew that breakfast nuts and other nuts was positive for our brain. What we didn’t know was to what extent

by

Nuts are a nutritious food and considered especially beneficial for our brain. The tests are accumulating, and the last study on this food gives us new details about its value. A push for the brain. The team responsible for the new study He observed an improvement In brain function among young people who consumed nuts at breakfast. The study gives us new clues when understanding the relationship between the popular dry fruit and cognitive performance. “This study helps reinforce the case of nuts as food for the brain. A handful of nuts with breakfast can give young adults an extra mental when they need to perform the maximum performance. It is especially exciting that such a simple dietary change can make a measurable difference in cognitive performance,” stood out in a press release Claire Williams, co -author of the study. Delayed effect. The team observed that on the occasion they consumed breakfast with nuts, the participants achieved faster reaction times throughout the day. They also observed An improvement in memory, but this did not occur in the early hours after breakfast but later in the day. The details of the study were published In an article In the magazine Food & Function. THEORY AND PRACTICE. Through the EEG, the team observed that changes in the neural activity that suggested that nuts can be more effective in their aid to cognitive performance when we face mental tasks that suppose a challenges. For their part, blood tests showed changes in glucose levels and fatty acids, which could help better performance. Explain what nutrients and what biochemical mechanisms are the protagonists of this connection between nuts, and brain is essential when establishing a causal relationship. The team responsible for the new study suggests that A variety of nutrientsamong them the omega 3 fatty acids, proteins and polyphenols, would be responsible for this cognitive “push”. A study with limitations. The small sample implies a limitation when it comes to extrapolaring the results of the study, however it adds to a growing evidence that indicates that nuts (and other nuts) have the ability to improve our cognitive performance. According to Explain the responsible teamThe new study complements the existing literature focusing on the effects of short -term nut consumption, on the day in which they are consumed. They also point out that more studies will still be necessary to determine the relationship between nut consumption and any improvement in cognitive performance.

Spacex has finally made public why the last Starship exploded. All rumors were wrong

by

White and in bottle? Milk. Two Consecutive starships that exploit In the same flight phase, practically in the same minute, in similar ways? Anyone would say that there was a common cause, but it was not so. Context. Spacex has shed light on the explosive loss of Starship During his eighth test flight on March 6. After successfully capturing the Super Heavy propeller, all expectations were set on the ship, which in the previous launch had failed during the ascent phase. After a successful separation and before reaching the necessary altitude to turn off, Spacex detected a flash near one of the central engines of the ship, followed by an “energy event” that made the engine disappear. Shortly after, two other central engines and one of the outer vacuum engines went out, which caused the ship to lose control nine and a half minutes after takeoff. The Starship 34 He disintegrated About the Caribbean. They were not the vibrations. After two consecutive explosions, everyone assumed that the problem had been the same. On flight 7, Starship 33 was lost eight minutes and 20 seconds after takeoff Because of stronger vibrations than expected, that had caused leaks of liquid oxygen and a fire In a non -pressurized area of ​​the lower part of the ship, which Spacex calls the “stern attic”. But it has not been so. “Although the ruling manifested himself at a point similar to that of the seventh flight, it is worth noting that they are clearly different,” Spacex wrote in a recent statement. “The mitigations implemented after flight 7 to solve the problems of harmonic response and flammability of the ship operated by design as planned,” added the company. What arose was a new problem. What happened on flight 8. According to the Spacex statement, the most likely cause of the loss of the ship during the eighth flight was “a hardware failure in one of the central raptor engines of the upper stage of the rocket, which resulted in a mixture and ignition not deliberate of propellents.” In essence, a engine component failed, causing a fuel leak and mixture (liquid methane) with oxidant (liquid oxygen). The consequent explosion destroyed the engine and committed the survival of the ship. Both problems originated in the lower part or stern of Starship, but the failure of flight 7 occurred in the “attic”, and that of flight 8 in the “basement”, the motor bay. All ready for flight 9. To address this new ruling for the ninth flight, Spacex has implemented reinforcements in key starship 35 joints, a new nitrogen purge system and improvements in the propellant drainage system. Later, he plans to introduce the new generation of Raptor 3 engines, with a complete redesign that addresses this type of problem. If there are no more delays, The ninth flight will take off this Tuesday, May 27 At 18:30, local time in Starbase (1:30 on Wednesday in Spain). It will be The first to reuse a super heavy propeller; Specifically, Booster 14, which flew in the seventh mission. The ship, on the other hand, will try again the objectives not achieved on flights 7 and 8, such as the deployment of eight Starlink satellit simulators and multiple reentry experiments.

The historic Sony scandal that ended in the courts

by

In the mid -2000s, buying records was still common. Insert them on the computer was part of the day to day, especially to listen to music or pass it to the player. But what seemed like a harmless action ended up being the entrance door to one of the biggest computer security scandals in the domestic sphere. The most disconcerting is that it did not come from a cybercrime, but from one of the most powerful music companies in the world. In the new episode of Xataka presents published on YouTubeone of our colleagues reconstructs the case of Sony BMG rootkit, a failed attempt to stop piracy that ended up violating the safety of thousands of computers. “When you put the album on your computer, the program was installed in secret and stored in a hidden folder so that you did not suppose its existence or noticese that I was doing things in the team.” The key was in the concept “rootkit”, a technique normally associated with the most sophisticated malware. “A rootkit is a program that is installed on your computer and that can execute Administrator permits. Come on, a type of malware designed to have access to your operating system, hide your own activity and access the device remote control. ”Sony hid that rootkit deliberately. On October 31, 2005, cybersecurity expert Mark Russinovich published on his blog that he had discovered “a spy program that secretly settled on his computer.” He explained that this software “was used to spy on users, their listening habits, share that information with Sony and prevent third -party audio programs from reading the album.” And not only that: “He had realized that there was no way to uninstall him, that he could damage the equipment of the users,” but hid even more problems that we will discover in the video. When the uninstalians appeared on the scene, things did not necessarily go better. There was a problem: if you filled a form to download the program that would allegedly free you from Sony’s rootkit nightmare, your browser could be exposed. “If you later entered other websites, from any of them They could access your computer”Explains our partner. The case ended in the courts and, of course, reached a huge media impact. What happened to the Japanese giant? Did you end up paying the consequences? And what happened to the affected users? You will find all this in the video. So we invite you to give the play to know the full story, because the risks do not always come from suspicious downloads, but from legitimate sources.

We want to pay to see ads

by

As determined A recent analysis of the Antenna Market Studies firmthe rates of streaming cheaper and with ads are working. To the point that they are now one of the main drivers of new subscriptions. It is a movement that generated a Opinion current against by users, but now they are the predominant current. The data. The percentages that Antenna collected at the end of March determined that, in the United States, the streaming platforms offered by both possibilities to their clients (plans with and without advertising) had 46% of subscribers to plans with advertising. It is an interannual increase of 33% of subscriptions to these rates. They are a significant amount of subscriptions, taking into account that the total plans with advertisements in the United States (not counting prime video) is 100 million. In addition, 65% of those 100 million are new subscribers. All good in the UPFront. The UPFRONT of most platforms (presentations before the advertisers of programs and plans for the next season so that brands can acquire spaces on platforms and channels) were presented last week. The entire business of streaming It seemed to coincide in the positively that they were being valued and this type of plans were growing, which means that of space available for advertising. Netflix, for example, announced that he had reached the 94 million users of plans with ads worldwide, compared to the 70 million in November 2023. We prefer ads. The most striking of all these data, as Antenna points out, is the change of customs. When the platforms of streaming They appeared, its indisputable value was not only to be able to choose programming and schedules: it was also a program free of advertisements. Now, according to statistics, 86% of customers who have been offered a plan with advertisements two or more times, choose the one that includes advertisements. And two years ago there were much less plans with ads, and only half of the spectators had tried them: that there are now 86% of spectators signed to these options represents a change in what we expect from the offer of streaming. Chronology of a trend. As has happened with so many other current trends of the streaming (Rate up, Shared Accounts Restrictions), the starting gun was given by Netflix, announcing it in April 2022 and starting it at the end of that year. Despite the surprise (Netflix had positioned himself against advertising), the platform justified the measure with the need to stop what then seemed a loss of vertiginous subscribers. Success was immediate: Subscriptions shotand those that included ads accounted for 30% of the new subscriptions. Very soon Disney+followed, almost simultaneously in the United States, HBO Max and Prime Video. Only They resist temptation platforms like Apple TV+which continue to flag a premium program (and rates). They are the last gala village to resist a seemingly contradictory trend: spectators pay for again having something they paid to get rid of.

It has gone from dying for work to the “silent resignation”

by

He demographic aging In Japan he is forcing to make deep changes in their work culture in order to improve employee working conditions to improve their productivity Without exhausting employees. Japanese employees have been forced to choose between have more social life or a successful work career and the data suggests that there is already a winner. According to published The Japan Timesa survey revealed that an increasing number of young people from generation Z has opted for the “Silent resignation“: Do the minimum to meet the schedule and requirements of your work, but showing an absolute lack of commitment to the company. A cultural change. According to data from a survey conducted to 3,000 employees by the Professional Race Research Laboratory of the Mynavi Employment Search Platform, 46.7% of employees between 20 and 59 years claimed to have opted for the “silent resignation”. More than 70% of employees who claimed to find themselves in this situation admitted that they had no plan to adopt a change in attitude. “We observe that the ‘silent resignation’ is becoming the new standard. As the values ​​diversify, it is important that companies accept the diversity of people’s values ​​and offer flexible work styles that adapt to them,” explained to the Japanese environment Akari Asahina, one of the authors of the study. Less motivated workforce. This high percentage is indicative of a demotivated workforce that no longer obeys a work culture based on loyalty and the benefit for the company, as has happened for decades in Japan, but is more concerned about balance Between work and personal life. According to the data of a 2024 Mynavi survey that publicby the Japanese medium Mainichi53.6% of respondents were dissatisfied or very dissatisfied with their current use. 49.2% of respondents claimed that their dissatisfaction was due to salary And, among them, the most dissatisfied were young people between 20 and 30 years old. 35.2% of them assured that had changed jobs For this reason. “In the past, an employer paid a fair salary and provided benefits for people to remain in the same company until retire in statements to DW. Generation Z wants more personal life. Among the youth of generation Z is also imposed by the desire for greater conciliation between personal and professional life. “Many young people saw their parents sacrifice their lives for a company, doing many extra hours and, in practice, renouncing their private life. They have realized that this is not what they want,” said Professor Kawakami. “I do not hate my work and I know that I have to work to pay the rent and invoices, but I prefer to meet with my friends, travel or listen to live music. I know that my grandfather and even the generation of my parents thought that they had no choice but to work hard and earn more money, but I do not understand that way of thinking,” Issei explained, a 26 -year -old boy to DW. “Quiet ambition” arrives in Japan. According to what was published by The Japan Timesthe authors of the survey have detected that one of the consequences of that lack of commitment of the workers coincides with the symptoms of the call “Quiet ambition“Or silent ambition. This phenomenon, especially present among the members of generation Z consists in the lack of interest of the youngest to ascend, since that is a minimal economic reward in exchange for a considerable increase in responsibilities and workload. In other cases, on the other hand, it is not an active negative to ascend, but rather the lack of opportunities to advance in the professional career which causes employees to give up and stop striving more than strictly necessary to fulfill their contract. More time to create a family. Japan is taking measures to encourage birth, making sure that its workforce has time outside work to socialize and reconcile working life with family care. These policies are beginning to permeate in generation Z that no longer sees work as their grandparents or parents do. SCMP It echoed of the effective work hours of Japan in November 2024. According to Takashi Sakamoto, Analyst of the Recruit Works Institute, the annual work hours in Japan They had been reduced 11.6% in the last two decades, from 1,839 hours from 2000 to 1,626 hours worked a year in 2022. The largest decrease occurred in the strip of workers between 20 and 29 years. “Many young people saw their parents sacrifice their lives for a company, doing many extra hours and, in practice, renouncing their private life. They have realized that this is not what they want,” Professor Kawakami explained to DW.

Good news, the solar system has a new minor planet. Bad news, it’s so far that appears every 25,000 years

by

The International Astronomical Union has added a new celestial body to its Minor planet catalog: The Transneptunian object 2017 of201. The solar system has a new member. 2017 of201 has been officially recognized as a minor planet, but has many ballots to end also cataloged as a dwarf planet. This icy world, which orbits much beyond Neptune, in the dark depths of the solar system, was in file data since 2011, but 19 exhibitions were needed over seven years to be able to analyze and classify it as appropriate. What makes this transneptunian object a fascinating world are two things: its incredibly extensive orbit and its considerable size. The new minor planet takes approximately 25,000 years to take a single round to the sun. A distant and not so dwarf planet. At its closest point to our star (the perihelium of its orbit), it approaches about 44.9 astronomical units, a distance similar to that of Pluto. But at its furthest point (its apelium) it ventures to amazing 1,600 UA. To get an idea, Neptune, the planet known more distant to the sun, orbits about 30 UA of our star. The estimates of astronomer Sihao Cheng and his team of Advanced Studies Institute They suggest that 2017 of201 has a diameter of about 700 kilometers. This would place it in the same league as The Dwarf Planet Ceresthe largest object of the asteroid belt (with about 952 km in diameter). In fact, if we judge it for the light that reflects your body, it is the second largest object known In such a wide orbit and eccentric. What if there were others like him? The existence of 2017 of201 suggests that the region of the solar system beyond the Kuiper belt, which was thought relatively empty, I might not be so much. The transneptunian object is currently 90.5, from us. Since it is only detectable for approximately 0.5% of its orbital time, when it is close to its perihelium, there could be hundreds of similar objects, with orbits and similar sizes, waiting to be discovered. This hidden population could add a total mass close to 1% of the dough of the earth, they estimate Cheng and its team. It takes us away from the planet nine. Many extreme transneptunian objects tend to coincide in their perihelium lengths, a phenomenon that some astronomers want to attribute to the gravitational influence of A mass planet not yet discovered: The planet nine. However, the 2017 of201 perihelium length is 306 degrees, which is significantly diverted from the 60 degree group observed in other objects. This orbital peculiarity Challenge the planet models nine. If the planet nine would exist, it would make 2017 of201 expelled from the solar system in relatively short time scales, of hundreds of millions of years, according to the study of IAS. You just lack a name. Already officially member of the Solar System, 2017 of201 is pending to receive a name with more hook. However, its discovery is already providing clues about the origins of the solar system and the dynamics of its most remote confines. What most excites the scientific community is that its discovery was possible thanks to open data, publicly available through the Dark Energy Camera Legacy Survey (Decals) project of the Víctor M. Blanco telescope and the Canada-France-French telescope (CFHT). Image | NASA/JPL-CALTECH, SIHAO CHENG et al. In Xataka | Planet’s definition is wrong, and Pluto is the great victim of that chaos

Samsung had it difficult with its exynos processors. Google and Xiaomi have only aggravated their situation

by

The future of Samsung processors is an unknown. The company It crosses one of the most difficult stages in its historyunable to follow competitors such as TSMC and SK Hynix. One of the few shelters who stayed beyond exynos in Galaxy were the Google Pixel. Google’s mobiles incoporab tensor chips manufactured by the South Korean giant. But the agreement between both companies comes to an end, after years of criticism for the low performance of the Google Pixel with respect to its direct competence. The turn of Google TSMC, accompanied by giants such as Xiaomi demonstrating what they are capable with the help of TSMC They put Samsung in an even more delicate situation: they need to demonstrate that they are competitive in chips, and need customers who trust them. Goodbye to Samsung. Google, According to Taiwanese sourceshas closed an interannual agreement with TSMC for the manufacture of its tensioner processors. It is a collaboration that, in case Google wants it (they are still those who have the power to design the chip), you can completely change the Google Pixel as we know them today. According to Digitimes, Google executives recently visited the TSMC headquarters in Taiwan to close a cooperation agreement between three and five years. Own design … or mediatek. Although it is an open secret that Google will have processors with TSMC technology, we are not sure if they will design them or if they will leave this work in the hands of a third manufacturer. Recent leaks talk about An alliance between Google and Mediatekone that would make enough sense. MediaTek is known for offering a better quality-price compared to Qualcomm, and solutions such as dimensity 9400 have proven to live up to the best chips on the market. The Xiaomi case. Betting on TSMC is betting on the winning horse, Xiaomi knows it well. The Chinese company has designed one of the best processors in the market, at the height of the most powerful and efficient of the moment: the Apple A18 Pro, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite and the Mediatek 9400 Dimensity. What Samsung has not achieved in all his career with Exynos has achieved by Xiaomi with the first chip that is taken seriously. The second generation process of TSMC three nanometers is fantastic, and they have not hesitated to get on this ship. The exynos 2500. We have been listening to the Exynos 2500the processor that will allegedly give life to the Galaxy Z Flip7. The problem? The same as always. According to Geekbench data, your scores are far from the current high -end chips. Specifically, yield as a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Being a new horn processor, to perform as a platform almost two years ago is not the best news for the company. At the moment, this is filtered information, and it will remain to verify how this processor pays in the final units. The race for the two nanometers. With its main rivals betting on TSMC (including Samsung herself, which currently uses Qualcomm Chips in her best mobiles), and without customers like Google, Samsung needs to rival TSMC and attract new customers to make chips. The exynos division is losing moneyand the manufacture of their processors It has been falling eight percentage points In the last five years. Samsung wants its second production plant in Taylor (USA) Reutersdue to lack of customers who make it viable. This factory will assume the manufacture of semiconductors with two nanometers lithographic nodes, an essential role for Samsung to fight to recover its competitiveness against giants such as TSMC.
