Summary
Two SM8975-100-BC engineering samples briefly appeared on China’s Goofish marketplace at a placeholder CNY 300, or about $42, before the listing was removed.
The seller said the chips had been pulled from test boards and were being offered for repair or rework, giving an early look at Qualcomm’s unannounced next flagship Snapdragon part.
Photos showed the package design and what looked like an integrated heat spreader above the silicon, while leaked specs have tied SM8975 to TSMC’s 2nm process, a 2+3+3 Oryon CPU layout and LPDDR5X/LPDDR6 support.
Qualcomm has not confirmed those details, but it recently teased two Snapdragon 8 Elite chips before its Snapdragon Summit opens on September 22, putting the black-market appearance about a month ahead of the expected reveal.
