Summary
Qualcomm’s rumored 2nm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro would add LPDDR6 support, an Adreno 850 GPU and 18MB of graphics memory, while the standard Gen 6 is tipped to use Adreno 845 and 12MB.
Both chips are said to keep the same 2+3+3 CPU cluster and 16MB shared L2 cache, but the Pro version is positioned for higher clocks and heavier cooling in top-end 2027 flagships.
The standard Gen 6 is reportedly tuned for a balance of performance and power draw, may miss LPDDR6, but could still support LPDDR5X memory and UFS 5.0 storage.
Digital Chat Station also said Qualcomm is preparing additional 3nm chips for cheaper smartphones, alongside possible refreshed models such as SM8850Q and SM8845 Pro later this year.
