Qualcomm has unveiled two new premium mobile processors: the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6, designed for the agentic AI era of computing.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 uses the 2nm process node, with custom-built Qualcomm Oryon CPU, rearchitected Qualcomm Adreno GPU, and the advanced Qualcomm Hexagon NPU.

These new Qualcomm chipsets claim to deliver enhanced mobile gaming with the new Adreno Neural Fusion that uses AI to deliver intelligent graphics for more immersive gameplay, richer visuals, and longer playtime.

They also feature AI powered camera capabilities with Advanced Professional Video (APV) support and Intelligent Pixel Control that claim to deliver deeper scene understanding, enhanced image quality, and more natural-looking photos and videos.

“Today marks a milestone as we introduce not one, but two new flagship mobile platforms, delivering agentic AI experiences that are immediate, personal, and adaptive,” said Chris Patrick, SVP and GM, Mobile Handsets, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.

“As the agentic AI age evolves, our multi-flagship strategy allows us to push the boundaries of what’s possible for mobile while bringing our latest AI innovations to a broader range of premium devices. By designing two innovative platforms, we’re giving OEMs greater choice as we collectively shape the capabilities of the next generation of intelligent, personalised, mobile experiences.”

Smartphones running Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 will be launched soon from leading global OEMs and smartphone brands.
