Samsung Electronics is developing an AI PC chip called Gaia, marking a return to the PC chip market after more than 10 years. The effort coincides with the launch of its Galaxy Book6 Edge laptop using Qualcomm\'s Snapdragon processor. The company is discussing supplies with some PC makers and is targeting mass production as early as next year. The move comes as Qualcomm, Intel and AMD intensify competition in PC chips.

Some consumers who find Samsung Electronics\' Galaxy S26 Ultra too expensive may find older Ultra models a more practical alternative, an assessment said. TechRadar said older Ultra devices can still be viable options by keeping performance and camera competitiveness while reducing price pressure. It compared the S22, S23, S24 and S25 Ultra, focusing on usable life versus cost, software-support timelines and key features. It excluded the S21 and S20 Ultra.
