Qualcomm's upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro and MediaTek's Dimensity 9600 Pro are reportedly set to use TSMC's new 2nm N2P process, according to leakster Digital Chat Station on August 25 (25/08).

The reported Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro, which is identified as SM8975, is expected to feature an eight-core CPU. Its two Prime cores are reportedly clocked at 5.01GHz, while three cores run at 4.03GHz and three others at 3.74GHz.

The reported configuration is 2x 5.01GHz + 3x 4.03GHz + 3x 3.74GHz. For comparison, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 has two cores at 4.61GHz and six cores at 3.63GHz.

Dimensity 9600 Pro reportedly uses Arm-designed cores

The Dimensity 9600 Pro is also reportedly based on TSMC's N2P 2nm process, but it will use Arm-designed CPU cores.

Digital Chat Station lists the configuration as 2x 4.55GHz Canyon, 3x 4.35GHz Gelas-b and 3x 3.10GHz Gelas.

The core names have not been officially confirmed. The report suggests that Canyon could be the codename for Arm C2-Ultra, while Gelas-b could refer to C2-Premium and Gelas could refer to the older C1-Pro.

Neither Qualcomm nor MediaTek has officially revealed the detailed specifications of these chipsets.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro features Adreno 850

The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro is reportedly equipped with an Adreno 850 GPU. The GPU is expected to have three slices and 18MB of graphics memory.

The chipset is also reported to include 8MB of Last Level Cache (LLC).

Qualcomm is expected to release two Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chipsets, with the specifications above referring to the top-of-the-line Pro model.

The non-Pro model, identified as SM8950, is reportedly set to use a similar 2+3+3 CPU configuration, although its clock speeds remain unclear.

The standard model is expected to use an Adreno 845 GPU with two slices and 12MB of graphics memory. Its LLC is reportedly reduced to 6MB.

Dimensity 9600 Pro gets a 12-core GPU

The Dimensity 9600 Pro is reportedly set to use Arm's G2-Ultra NX MC12 GPU, which is also used in the Xiaomi Xring O3 chipset.

The GPU has 12 cores divided into two clusters. Six are traditional GPU cores, while the other six feature NX tensor acceleration.

According to the report, the NX tensor acceleration is used for functions such as image upscaling and frame generation in gaming.
