  • Qualcomm's non-flagship flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 leaks reveal 3nm N3P, Oryon cores
    November 4, 2025, 1:56 PM EST. New details about Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 non-Elite variant surface, built on TSMC's N3P 3nm process-the same as the Elite Gen 5. The chip reportedly uses Qualcomm's custom Oryon CPU cores in a 2+6 configuration, with two Prime cores at 3.8GHz and six Performance cores at 3.32GHz. Despite an identical core layout to the Elite, these clocks are lower, hinting at a mid-range flagship positioning. The 3nm process may improve efficiency to offset weaker GPU performance, though an upgrade to the Adreno GPU and AI-ISP/NPU could be skipped. No fixed release date yet; devices like the OnePlus 15R or Vivo S50 Pro are mentioned, but plans may vary worldwide.
  • Exynos 2600 vs Snapdragon 8 Gen 5: early Geekbench hints for Galaxy S26
    November 4, 2025, 1:54 PM EST. Samsung's upcoming flagship chipset, the Exynos 2600, targets the Galaxy S26 and will square off with Qualcomm's flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 5. Geekbench leaks put the Exynos 2600 ahead of the non-Elite Gen 5 on CPU tests (roughly 3,500 vs 3,000 in single-core and 11,500 vs 10,000 in multi-core), though it still trails the Elite Gen 5 (about 3,800 / 12,100). The rumor also mentions the 8 Gen 5 built on TSMC's N3P process with a two-core prime layout and the Adreno 840 GPU. Final performance will depend on real devices and regional launches for the S26 lineup.
  • Qualcomm Could Split Its Flagship Into Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and Gen 6 Pro
    November 4, 2025, 1:48 PM EST. Rumors suggest Qualcomm could launch two variants of its next flagship: the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro. The leaker Digital Chat Station claims both chips would wear the 8 Elite Gen 6 label, with the Pro variant a true successor to the current Gen 5 and the non-Pro a toned-down version sharing the same base design. Both are said to be built on TSMC's 2nm N2P process and use a 2+3+3 CPU layout. The key difference reportedly lies in graphics and memory: the Pro would offer a beefier GPU and exclusive LPDDR6 support, boosting multitasking, gaming, and efficiency. Cost could rise for 2026-27 flagships due to the advanced node and memory. Qualcomm has not commented; Gen 5 may still appear as a mid-tier later this year.
  • Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Rumored in Two Versions, Pro Variant to Feature LPDDR6 and Distinct GPUs
    November 4, 2025, 1:46 PM EST. Rumors circulating that Qualcomm is developing two Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 variants, including a higher-end Pro model with exclusive LPDDR6 RAM support and different GPU configurations. Supposedly built on the third-gen Oryon CPU cluster with a 2+3+3 layout, the two versions would share the same core arrangement but only the Pro would get LPDDR6 and distinct GPU specs; the standard variant may be limited to LPDDR5X and an underclocked GPU. Early chatter cites Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station and production on TSMC's 2nm N2P process. Spec details remain unconfirmed, so treat as rumor until official announcements.
