AI chip boom lifts Samsung profits by 1,800%
Image caption, Samsung is also one of the world's leading smartphone makers South Korean technology giant Samsung Electronics says it expects to post a 19-fold jump in its profits, driven by global demand for artificial intelligence (AI) memory chips. The company forecast that it made 89tn won (£44bn; $58bn) between the start of April and the end of June, marking its third record quarterly operating profits in a row. Major South Korean firms like Samsung release forecasts of their earnings ahead of official detailed reports to help guide investors. Samsung's latest forecast, released on Tuesday ahead of its full results due later in July, comes as demand for semiconductors continues to outstrip supplies - which has pushed up prices . Samsung said in the preview, known as earnings guidance, that it brought in around 171tn won of sales during the quarter, more than double the amount for the same period last year.

The Best Art TVs
After you're done bingeing your favorite movies, these art televisions are designed to liven up your wall. I have watched so many times I've lost count. For years, the Andrew Wyeth painting took a prominent place in my living room. Art televisions--the category of TV pioneered by Samsung's Frame and now rapidly expanding with models from many of the major TV producers --combine my passion for movies and shows with an even greater interest in art and photography. When it comes to their performance as televisions, even the best art TVs don't have quite the same punchy colors and speedy refresh rates found on similarly priced standard televisions. However, when the movie is finished, art TVs look a lot better in a room, displaying art and photos on a matte screen with a pristine clarity in a space otherwise wasted by a black box. Art televisions are typically just a little more expensive than a normal 4K TV.
