Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6's Offset PoP Doubles Time to Thermal Limit

Geekerwan testing shows the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 takes 915 seconds to hit its 105°C threshold versus 390 seconds for the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with traditional PoP. The Offset PoP packaging moves DRAM to the side with a heatsink beside it, more than doubling sustained performance time.

• Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 reaches 105°C in 915 seconds
• Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with standard PoP hits the same limit in 390 seconds
• Offset PoP shifts DRAM to the side with a heatsink next to it
• Chip is built on TSMC's 2nm N2P process with clocks up to 5.00GHz
