Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 takes more than 2x as long to reach its temperature threshold in tests

Wccftech reports that Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 uses Offset PoP, a packaging approach based on older Package-on-Package (PoP) technology.

Recent tests cited by the publication found that the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 takes more than 15 minutes to reach its maximum temperature threshold. The report says this is more than 2x the time indicated in the comparison, although the available summary does not identify the comparison system.

According to the report, the slower rise to the maximum operating temperature results in significantly improved sustained performance. The summary attributes the thermal behavior to Offset PoP and describes it as Qualcomm’s approach for its latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6.
