Overview
- The Friday leaks, attributed to Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station, identify SM8975 as a 2nm 'Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro' and SM8950 as a 2nm 'Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6'.
- Both 2nm parts are reported to use a 2+3+3 Oryon CPU cluster with a shared 16MB L2 cache while the Pro would pair an Adreno 850 GPU with 18MB GMEM and the standard chip an Adreno 845 with 12MB GMEM.
- The Pro model is said to support LPDDR6 and LPDDR5X memory while the standard Gen 6 would support only LPDDR5X, a split that could widen performance and price gaps between flagship phones.
- The tipster also names multiple 3nm Snapdragon variants including SM8850Q and SM8845 Pro that could appear under refreshed Elite or Gen 6/Gen 5 Pro brands.
- All claims remain unconfirmed by Qualcomm, MediaTek, or TSMC and sources warn the leaks are preliminary; if the usual product cadence holds the first phones using these chips could arrive in the October–December period.
