Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 series roadmap surfaces revealing new 3nm chips | Infinium-tech
We’ve heard rumors that Qualcomm will launch two 2nm chips under the Snapdragon 8 Elite series this year, called the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 (SM8950) and the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro (SM8975). But now we’ve learned that Qualcomm has two more Snapdragon 8-series chips on its roadmap.
The term comes from a trusted tipster digital chat stationWho claimed that Qualcomm is working on Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5XX Edition and Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Pro. Both of these are 3nm chips, but the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5XX has the part number SM8850Q, while the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Pro has the part number SM8845 Pro.
The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 were unveiled last year, with part numbers SM8850 and SM8845 respectively. It is unclear how much the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5XX edition will differ from the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, but it is safe to assume that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Pro will have better specs than its non-Pro counterpart. It can also be launched as Snapdragon 8 Gen 6.
Although the tipster did not share the specifications of these 3nm chips, he did detail the 2nm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and Gen 6 Pro. For more information, you can see the screenshot of the tipster’s Weibo post below.
The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 was introduced at the Snapdragon Summit last September, so expect the chips mentioned above to become official around this time this year.
