Cooling tech could push Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro toward 5GHz minimum
A circulating rumor suggests the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro could reach a minimum 5.00GHz on its performance cores thanks to Samsung’s Heat Pass Block cooling and the 2nm N2P process, with early testing hinting at 5.5–6.0GHz ranges. Qualcomm reportedly plans two variants and features like LPDDR6 RAM and UFS 5.0, and the Galaxy S26 line may be among the first to use it, but there is no official confirmation and the claims remain unverified.
