TL;DR

• NotebookCheck published leaked material for Qualcomm’s unannounced SM8475 chipset.
• The leak says SM8475 is likely the Snapdragon 4 Gen 6.
• The chipset is reported to use TSMC’s 4nm process with two Kryo Gold cores and six Kryo Silver cores.
• The leak also suggests a dedicated DSP and AI processor could appear in the Snapdragon 4 series for the first time.

According to Android Authority, NotebookCheck obtained a confidential diagram sheet for SM8475 and identified it as the likely Snapdragon 4 Gen 6. Qualcomm has not formally announced the chipset in the source material.

The leaked specifications cited by Android Authority say the chip is built on TSMC’s 4nm process. The same report says the CPU configuration includes two Kryo Gold cores, reportedly based on Cortex-A78, and six Kryo Silver cores, reportedly based on Cortex-A55.

The leak suggests Qualcomm may add a dedicated DSP, or digital signal processor, and a separate AI processor to the Snapdragon 4 series for the first time. Android Authority said Snapdragon 4 chips usually power low-cost Android phones, so the reported AI hardware would mark a change for that product tier if confirmed.
