A new leak suggests the next-gen Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro could reach 5 GHz or higher clock speed, which can take mobile gaming to a whole new level. Such a high clock speed is possible as the next-gen chipset will reportedly use TSMC’s advanced 2nm “N2P” process.
Apparently, that’s not the only new technology expected in the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro. This article provides a brief overview of this leak and what users can expect from this next-gen mobile processor.
The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro will reportedly sport an HPB block and TSMC’s N2P process
The new leak comes from Fixed Focus Digital on Weibo, a well-known tipster in the smartphone industry. This user’s sources mentioned that the minimum guaranteed clock speed of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro could be 5 GHz, while in extreme cases, it could reach around 5.5-6GHz.
While such clock speeds may seem unrealistic, they are not out of the realm of possibility, as the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro will reportedly be utilizing cutting-edge technologies, such as a Heat Pass Block-like solution found in the Samsung Exynos 2600 chipset. It’s an effective heat dissipation solution designed to keep the chip cool enough for it to reach higher clock speeds.
Moreover, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro and the standard Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 will reportedly utilize TSMC’s 2nm N2P process, which surpasses the standard N2 process. The former aids chipsets in achieving higher clock speeds, as per a previous report from Fixed Focus Digital. When you combine the N2P process with a Heat Pass Block-like heat dissipation solution, a 5 GHz clock speed doesn’t sound unrealistic anymore. We should hear more as we move closer to its release.
