Some devices, including the OnePlus 16 have already been confirmed to feature the Snapdragon Elite Extreme Gen 6 processor. The big thing about this processor is that it is the first in the world to feature a 5 GHz clocked CPU. The chips, both of them, have been built on the 2nm process. These new Qualcomm processors for smartphones are not just built for power and multi-tasking, but also for on-device AI (artificial intelligence) support.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Processors
Qualcomm has shared that there are two prime cores in the CPU, which are clocked up to 5 GHz. Then there are six performance cores clocked at up to 4 GHz. These chips are the first to feature 5 GHz mark. What is the difference between the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 processors? The difference is that the Extreme variant will come with faster AI (artificial intelligence) processing. There is also 50% more shared memory (flexcache) and more advanced gaming features on top.
Both the chips also bring camera upgrades over the last generation. There is support for up to 8K recording at 60fps and ultra-smooth 4K recording at up to 240fps for the Extreme chip. The standard model tops out at 8K 30fps or 4K slow-motion at 120fps. Qualcomm said that both chips will come with an upgraded Hexagon NPU with a new Element Accelerator and support for context windows up to 32k. Qualcomm is calling this agentic AI support on the chips.
