Overview
- Multiple outlets on Wednesday reported two Qualcomm parts, SM8950 and SM8975, said to be built on TSMC’s 2nm node with a 2+3+3 CPU layout.
- Tipsters say the Pro moves to an Adreno 850 GPU with 18MB of graphics memory, which helps feed the GPU in games and imaging, compared with the base model’s Adreno 845 and 12MB.
- Reports say only the Pro supports new LPDDR6 memory, with the base part limited to LPDDR5X.
- One report adds that the Pro is slated for UFS 5.0 storage and a wider quad‑channel 24‑bit memory bus, while the base chip targets UFS 4.1 and 16‑bit.
- Android Headlines relays a rumor that the Pro’s performance cores could reach about 5.0GHz, and coverage across outlets expects a September reveal and limited Pro adoption in ultra phones due to higher costs.
