Samsung has reportedly found overheating and sustained-performance problems with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 during internal testing, prompting Qualcomm to push back against the claims.
The Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 is Qualcomm’s first 2nm chipset, but South Korean outlet Sedaily reports that Samsung is still seeing thermal issues despite the move to a more advanced manufacturing process and Qualcomm’s new packaging design.
Samsung has reportedly shared its findings with Qualcomm and asked the company to address the overheating problems this month.
According to the report, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 experiences throttling during demanding workloads, causing its clock speeds to fall when high performance is sustained for extended periods.
However, the report did not provide any figures or detailed results from Samsung’s internal testing, making it difficult to independently assess the claims.
