Samsung Flags Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 Overheating as Qualcomm Denies Systemic Issues
3 articles · Updated · Wccftech · Oct 16
Summary
Samsung has told Qualcomm its internal tests still show the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 throttling under sustained heavy workloads, and asked for fixes this month.
The problems persist despite Qualcomm’s shift to Offset PoP packaging, which was meant to improve sustained performance on the 2nm chip.
No benchmark figures from Samsung’s testing were disclosed, leaving the severity of the overheating claims hard to verify and raising questions about whether the report also boosts Exynos 2700 expectations.
That matters because Samsung can switch the Galaxy S27 Ultra to its 2nm Exynos 2700, while Qualcomm has already publicly rejected the rumors and said the chip has no systemic thermal issues.
