Imitation remains the highest form of flattery. After Samsung won plaudits for the Exynos 2600's novel Heat Path Block (HPB) thermal technology, Qualcomm, whose recent chips iterations have resembled a veritable inferno when it comes to their runaway heat issues, now appears to be flattering Samsung by copying its HPB tech for the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro, albeit sloppily so. Qualcomm appears to be trying to tame the furnace-like credentials of its Snapdragon chips by emulating Samsung's most innovative thermal solution While clarifying that Qualcomm has prepared two and not six versions of its Snapdragon 8 Elite […]

A previous leak revealing that there could be potentially six versions of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro has been clarified by new findings showing the block diagrams of Qualcomm’s first 2nm chipset. To minimize the confusion, the San Diego firm is prepping just two variants, one with LPDDR5X RAM support, while the top-end one will offer LPDDR6. However, don’t count out Qualcomm introducing binned models of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro, because the way its handset business is hurting, it’ll need to adopt the “Apple” approach. Top-end Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro may also offer Qualcomm […]

Qualcomm appears determined to squeeze out Exynos 2700 from the upcoming Galaxy S27 series, and has prepared as many as six Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro variants to render Samsung Mobile spoilt for choice. Samsung LSI, however, is now reportedly equally adamant at not letting Qualcomm eat its lunch and is preparing an apt "response" to this gambit. Samsung's Galaxy S27 series is emerging as an unequivocal winner in the ongoing tussle between Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro variants and Samsung LSI's Exynos 2700 chip As we reported recently, Qualcomm is preparing as many as six variants […]

A standard Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 followed by the premium Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro are slated to launch later this year, becoming Qualcomm’s first 2nm chipsets to arrive to the market. However, the advanced lithography is rumored to make the top-end SoC ludicrously expensive, but according to the latest leak, there could be six samples for Qualcomm’s partners to choose from, offering a diversified lineup for manufacturers to mix and match their launches and reduce their chipset expenditure. New leak reveals the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro may also have varying CPU and GPU clock speeds to […]
