This powerful dual-screen handheld is part Nintendo DS, part gaming laptop
It has a 7-inch 144Hz OLED panel plus a 4.5-inch LCD, similar to a Nintendo DS.
Pricing and availability haven't been announced, but it will be on the premium end.
Hot off the heels of Retroid's dual-screen accessory for its gaming handhelds, AYANEO has just announced its own full-fledged dual-screen handheld. Called the AYANEO Flip 1S DS, it's the follow-up to last year's Flip 1 DS, with some significant upgrades and a lot more power than the competition.
The AYANEO Flip 1S DS looks a lot like a Nintendo DS, with two screens in a Nintendo DS-like layout. The larger screen at the top is a massive 7-inch, 144Hz OLED display. The smaller screen at the bottom is a 4.5-inch IPS LCD panel with a 3:2 ratio, likely the same one found in the AYANEO Pocket ACE.
Unlike the Pocket ACE or the Nintendo DS, the Flip 1S DS runs on Windows 11. It's powered by an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, which is typically found in premium laptops and ultrabooks. This will make it one of the most powerful gaming handhelds on the market.
It will have LPDDR5X RAM and an M.2 2230 slot for storage, but AYANEO hasn't announced the specific configurations yet. Its predecessor came in 16+512GB, 32GB+1TB, and 64GB+2TB flavors, so expect something similar for the Flip 1S DS. However, storage can be expanded via a microSD card slot.
Of course, gaming handhelds are as much about controls as they are performance, and AYANEO has some big upgrades there, too. This handheld will have medium-sized TMR electromagnetic joysticks, which are generally considered the successors to Hall Effect sticks. They have all the same benefits, but tend to cost more. There are also four face buttons, a D-pad, Linear Hall effect triggers, some shortcut buttons, and a small optical finger mouse.
The combination of two screens and a powerful CPU gives the Flip 1S DS serious potential.
The handheld has two full-function USB-C slots for fast charging, speedy data transfer, or peripherals. AYANEO hasn't announced charging speeds or battery size as of writing, but a device this powerful will likely drain the cell relatively quickly.
We also don't know anything about pricing or availability, but considering the specs, it will be firmly on the premium end. For reference, the Flip 1 DS now starts at $1139, although early bird discounts brought the starting price down to $739 during the launch campaign. Still, the combination of two screens, Windows, and all this extra power gives the Flip 1S DS serious potential for power users. Stay tuned for more info in the coming weeks.

Amazon Reaches Automation Milestone by Deploying Its Millionth Robot
Amazon's fleet of warehouse robots just hit a new milestone. The company announced Monday that it deployed its millionth bot to begin operations at a fulfillment center in Japan. Amazon's ambitions for robot use have long surpassed the company utilizing them for delivery service. The business juggernaut is the world's leading manufacturer of mobile robotics, and aims to sell them to you for use at home as well -- if you have $1600 to spare. The robotic workers operate in over 300 Amazon warehouses across the world, creating an ever-expanding automated delivery network. More than 75% of Amazon's global deliveries are assisted in some way by robot automation, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal. Amazon has also developed a new generative AI model called DeepFleet to make the robots in the delivery system "smarter and more efficient." According to Amazon, this new model will coordinate robots across the fulfillment network to improve package travel times by 10%. The company's robots currently lift thousands of pounds of packages at a time, integrate conveyor belts to move along individual items and move autonomously around the warehouse with heavy carts. The most recent fleet upgrade, Vulcan, uses force feedback sensors to create a sense of touch, physically lifting and moving items all by itself. Amazon's robots work in tandem with more than 1.6 million human workers worldwide. The Wall Street Journal reports that Amazon is on track to have more automated workers than employed humans, while Amazon workers have begun to unionize in recent years. A representative for Amazon did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

As Tesla Crumbles, Elon Musk Just Fired One of His Top Supporters at the Company
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has fired the automaker's vice president of manufacturing and operations Omead Fashar, Forbes reports, amid plummeting sales and public backlash against the company. Fashar was one of Musk's closest confidants and a powerful executive at the company, according to Bloomberg, which reported that Fashar had departed but didn't say that Musk was behind the personnel change. The exact reason for his departure isn't clear, although one can make an educated guess based on the broader turmoil at Tesla. Fashar was in charge of a team of more than a half-dozen high level employees, CNBC noted while corroborating that Musk was behind the sacking. He joined Tesla in 2017 as an engineer, and was promoted to his position last October to oversee sales and manufacturing in North America and Europe — the two markets where consumer backlash in response to Musk's association with the Trump administration has been the hardest felt. His firing follows the departure of another Tesla bigwig, Milan Kovac, who was in charge of Tesla's Optimus humanoid robot program before stepping down earlier this month. Musk thanked Kovac for his time at the company, but so far has not commented on Fashar's termination. Bloomberg reported that Jenna Ferrua, a human resources director for North America, also left Tesla. Fashar walked the plank of what might be a sinking ship. Tesla shares are down by 19 percent this year, with sales tumbling worldwide. It sold 15 percent fewer cars in China last month than it did last year, with the trend looking even grimmer in Europe, where sales have now plummeted for five straight months — despite EV registrations on the continent being up overall. In the US, sales dropped nine percent in the first three months of the year. That period saw Tesla's total sales fall by 13 percent, the largest drop in the company's history. Overseas, Chinese EV companies have stepped in to fill the void, with BYD overtaking Tesla in terms of sales and revenue. Public outcry against Tesla, which has included mass protests, boycotts, and acts of vandalism that target its dealerships and cars, has driven the decline. It became difficult to separate Musk's image from his automaker's as he endorsed Donald Trump for president, threw some $300 million towards funding Trump's campaign, and led the Department of Government Efficiency to gut the federal government. The automaker is also saddled with an aging lineup, and its attempt to spice things up with a newly facelifted Model Y — and desperate financing deals — have been a dud. The controversial Cybertruck, which is on its eighth recall and has come to embody the public's distaste for Musk, has been such a disaster that thousands of the boldly styled pickups are rotting in dealership lots, with only 7,100 sold in the US over the first quarter. This is all bubbling in the background as Musk has boldly pivoted Tesla towards operating a robotaxi service, which launched unceremoniously in Austin, Texas, last week, with human "safety monitors" conspicuously placed in the front passenger seats. Despite just a dozen or so of the self-driving Teslas in operation — and at that limited to a small "geofenced" area where driving conditions are most ideal — the robotaxis have already drawn the attention of federal regulators for a string of incidents in which they seemingly violated traffic laws.

Europe's bold AI play spells jackpot for Nvidia and AMD
Europe's bold AI play spells jackpot for Nvidia and AMD originally appeared on TheStreet. Another day, another round of goodies for AI's finest. It seems like the AI Santa isn't done stuffing Nvidia's () and AMD's () proverbial stockings just yet. 💵💰💰💵 Over the past few years, high-margin AI accelerators have been flying out the door, cementing Nvidia stock's near-monopoly while positioning AMD stock as a top contender. Many felt the boom was done, but think again as Europe flexes its muscles to push for tech independence. That means big factories, billions in chips, and Nvidia and AMD riding right at the heart of the AI cash train, as recent moves show. Though often grouped together, Nvidia and AMD play two distinct roles in the AI-accelerator spectrum. When it comes to market share, Nvidia sits firmly at the top. Its powerful GPUs run nine out of 10 AI deployments (90% market share), thanks to big bets in high-performance chips and its powerhouse CUDA software the flip side, AMD accounts for roughly 10% to 20% of the market, up substantially from around the 5% mark last year. Nvidia's latest Blackwell GPUs are also slicing through AI workloads like a knife. Its cutting-edge new GPUs effectively slash the chips needed to train massive language models like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok. More AI Stock News: Veteran analyst issues big Broadcom call, shakes up AI stock race Veteran analyst drops bold new call on Nvidia stock Gemini, ChatGPT may lose the AI war to deep-pocketed rival Moreover, booming demand numbers suggest that Nvidia will keep riding this wave well into the next decade. Meanwhile, AMD, under Lisa Su's dynamic leadership, is refusing to sit on the sidelines. The tech giant has a two-pronged approach, targeting sharper hardware and a stronger open-source software stack. The MI300 chips kicked things off in 2023, but it's the MI350s that investors are salivating over, boosting performance by up to 35×. Also, AMD's software improvements and its move to buy ZT Systems show it's dead serious about offering full-stack AI solutions. So while Nvidia sets the bar high, AMD's pricing and open ecosystem keep the race mighty interesting. Plans for European gigafactories to crank out AI hardware are picking up in a big way. The European Commission has already received submissions calling for at least 3 million next-generation GPUs. Henna Virkkunen, in charge of tech sovereignty and security for the EU, confirmed that the region is looking to lock in those chips to build its supply-chain muscle. Currently, companies operating inside or outside Europe have pitched 76 factory projects across 16 member states at 60 sites. In March, Brussels pledged $23 billion to back four flagship AI gigafactories. The final call on plant locations is expected by year-end to substantially reduce dependence on overseas suppliers and protect Europe's chip supply from future shocks. This development puts a big spotlight on Nvidia and AMD, the two giants in the AI accelerator game. Naturally, for both chip giants, Europe's mega orders spell billions in fresh sales and tighter market big push for AI gigafactories has everything to do with taking control of its tech future. Reports suggest that the EU uses about 20% of the world's chips, while producing just 9%, leaving it exposed to supply shocks and global tensions. By locking in orders for at least 3 million next-gen GPUs, the goal is to bring more AI hardware production back home. Nvidia and AMD are front and center in this mega plan. Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang, is all-in on Europe, inking massive sovereign AI deals all across the region. Putting things in perspective, analysts expect the global sovereign-AI market to hit $1.5 trillion by 2030, with Europe accounting for 8% of that. AMD's Lisa Su is equally bullish. She feels the AI accelerator chip market could surge to $500 billion by 2028, on the back of European data-center expansion and massive AI rollouts. The AI-chip market is already on fire, and experts predict a massive jump from $31.6 billion in 2025 to nearly $850 billion by bold AI play spells jackpot for Nvidia and AMD first appeared on TheStreet on Jun 30, 2025 This story was originally reported by TheStreet on Jun 30, 2025, where it first appeared.
