Qualcomm’s next flagship chips are still months away from becoming official, but leaks are already sketching out what the company might be planning. As you might have heard, there could be two versions this time: the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro.
According to a new report from ITHome, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro could support LPDDR6 RAM.
Previously, it was believed to support LPDDR5X, but a report last week suggested that LPDDR6 is on the cards for the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro.
Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro will support LPDDR6
In line with that, the Pro model, carrying the internal model number SM8975, has appeared in customs information with the new memory support.
The SoC is also said to feature a 2+3+3 CPU layout, likely an all-big-core setup similar to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. This means there will be two prime cores for peak performance, three performance cores for sustained workloads, and three efficiency-oriented cores.
On the graphics side, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro is said to include an Adreno 850 GPU along with 18MB of GMEM (graphics memory).
The standard version of the chip reportedly shares the same CPU architecture, but it may run at lower clock speeds and use a slightly less capable Adreno 845 GPU. More notably, this version is expected to stick with LPDDR5X memory rather than move to LPDDR6.
Of course, with the launch still some time away, these specifications could change. But if LPDDR6 does make its way into the Pro model, it would mark one of the first major shifts in mobile memory in a while.
