Qualcomm SM8475 leak points to Snapdragon 4 Gen 6 AI upgrade

Leaked material published by NotebookCheck indicates Qualcomm’s unannounced SM8475 chipset is likely the Snapdragon 4 Gen 6.

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.
