Qualcomm Flagship Processor Development with SM8975 and SM8950 Models
Reports about Qualcomm developing its upcoming flagship processor show that the company plans to create two distinct SoC versions by using its two existing design teams. The leaks identify two specific models, the SM8975 and the SM8950, which appear to differ significantly in their hardware support and performance targets.
The SM8975 exists as the latest flagship product from Qualcomm. The chip provides advanced hardware backing which will enable future mobile devices to achieve all upcoming technological advancements. The key technical specifications of the device consist of
- Memory Support The system supports LPDDR6 while maintaining compatibility with LPDDR5 and LPDDR5X.
- Storage Support The system provides backing for UFS 5.0 technology standards.
- Current Testing The chip is currently undergoing testing procedures inside a device named Ami18.
LPDDR6 support exists for the SM8975, but reports show that devices will use LPDDR5 until production begins for LPDDR6 components.
The SM8950 functions as a standard flagship model which lacks the advanced features of the high end version. The chips details remain limited because its memory restrictions exist as its only major difference. The SM8950 will support only LPDDR5 memory according to expectations, which means it will not include the LPDDR6 and UFS 5.0 features present in the SM8975 model.
The presence of two separate specifications indicates that Qualcomm will probably introduce fresh product naming procedures to distinguish between its CPU solutions designations of Large and Small. The SM8975 represents the highest performance level of the Elite line, while the SM8950 serves as a standard flagship model for budget oriented premium devices.
The official performance benchmarks and final product names will become available after the product launches. The industry currently observes testing procedures to determine whether LPDDR6 will become available for the initial launch of consumer products.
