Get ready for some exciting tech news! The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 is already making waves, even though its predecessor, the Gen 5, just hit the market! Last week, rumors started swirling about this upcoming powerhouse, and today, even more details have emerged from China. But here's where it gets controversial... it seems we're not just getting one new Snapdragon, but two! That's right, prepare for the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro.
The Pro version is set to offer some serious upgrades, including support for LPDDR6 and a different GPU. Both SoCs will be manufactured using TSMC's cutting-edge 2nm process and will feature third-generation self-developed CPU cores in a 2+3+3 configuration.
And this is the part most people miss: the Pro version is rumored to be around $70 more expensive than the current Gen 5. If these rumors are true, it will be fascinating to see how phone manufacturers respond. Will they opt for the top-tier Pro version, or will they save some cash and go with the standard Gen 6?
The choices manufacturers make will have a significant impact on the smartphone market, and it's a decision that could spark some interesting debates. So, what do you think? Will the extra features of the Pro version be worth the premium price tag? Or will phone makers (and consumers) opt for the more affordable option? Let's discuss in the comments and share our thoughts on this exciting tech development!
