Hold onto your hats, tech enthusiasts! Even though the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is still fresh on the scene, whispers about its successor, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6, are already making waves. Last week, rumors started swirling, and now, the plot thickens with even more juicy details, straight from China!
It seems like we're in for a double dose of power next year, with both the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and a souped-up Pro version hitting the market. But what's the difference?
Here's the breakdown: the Pro version is expected to boast support for the cutting-edge LPDDR6 memory, giving it a significant edge. The GPUs will also differ between the two models, ensuring that the Pro version is indeed a step above. Both will be crafted using TSMC's advanced 2nm process, promising incredible efficiency and performance. And get this: they'll feature third-generation self-developed CPU cores in a unique 2+3+3 configuration.
But here's where it gets controversial... The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro is rumored to come with a price tag that's about $70 higher than this year's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.
This raises an interesting question: Which phone manufacturers will opt for the premium Pro version, and who will choose to save some cash with the standard Gen 6?
What do you think about this potential price difference? Will the extra features of the Pro version justify the cost, or is the standard Gen 6 enough? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
