TechPowerUp reports AMD's Ryzen 10000 ‘Olympic Ridge’ will launch with Zen 6 cores in single-CCD SKUs (6/8/10/12 cores) and two-CCD SKUs (12/16/20/24 cores) on the AM5 socket, built on TSMC's 2nm N2 process. Each CCD can hold up to 48 MB of L3 cache (96 MB total for all cores), with potential 3D V-Cache enhancements, and AVX-512 support to match advanced x86 extensions.
Even with a high price tag, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro is expected to appear in flagship Android devices from the world’s top five manufacturers on TSMC’s 2nm process, while a standard Gen 6 may be more widely used and MediaTek’s Dimensity 9600 could win over non-top brands, signaling a split between premium and budget chip strategies.
Samsung is set to launch the Galaxy S26 series with new camera features like 3x Zoom HDR and maintain current pricing levels despite hardware cost increases. The company is also focusing on advancing its semiconductor technology with a new 2nm process to compete with TSMC, and has released updates to its SSD management and UI design to enhance user experience.
Samsung is not increasing the prices of its upcoming Galaxy S26 series, which are expected to start at $799 for the S26, $999 for the S26+, and $1,299 for the S26 Ultra, with a launch event possibly in late February 2026. The series may feature a new 3x Zoom HDR camera and other enhancements, while Samsung also aims to leverage TSMC's 2nm process technology to attract major tech companies for its semiconductor foundry.
