But now we learn that Qualcomm has two more Snapdragon 8-series chips on its roadmap.<\/p>\n<p>The word comes from reliable tipster Digital Chat Station, who claimed that Qualcomm is working on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5XX version and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Pro. Both of them are 3nm chips, but the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5XX has part number SM8850Q, while the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Pro has part number SM8845 Pro.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1782544453_353_gsmarena_001.jpg\" alt=\"Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 series roadmap surfaces revealing new 3nm chips\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/qualcomm_snapdragon_8_elite_gen_5_soc_features_specs-news-69656.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/qualcomm_unveils_snapdragon_8_gen_5_as_its_flagshipkiller_chip-news-70444.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Snapdragon 8 Gen 5<\/a> were unveiled last year, bearing part numbers SM8850 and SM8845, respectively. It&#8217;s unclear how different the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5XX version will be from the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, but it&#8217;s safe to assume the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Pro will have better specs than its non-Pro counterpart. It could also be launched as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 6.<\/p>\n<p>While the tipster didn&#8217;t share specs of these 3nm chips, they did detail the 2nm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and Gen 6 Pro.
