The claim
Qualcomm will unveil two Gen 6 flagship chips at Snapdragon Summit rather than one.
Why we rated it Confirmed
Qualcomm teased 'Dual 8 Elites' on Aug 19 and announced the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 on Sep 22. One detail was off: leaks called the second chip 'Pro', but Qualcomm named it 'Extreme'.
Outcome
Confirmed, with a different name than leaked.
