Qualcomm Allegedly Imitates Samsung’s HPB Heat Tech in Gen 6 Pro, but Execution Falls Short

Rumors say Qualcomm copied Samsung Exynos 2600’s copper Heat Path Block (HPB) thermal tech for the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro in the Galaxy S27 lineup, but the implementation reportedly isn’t as effective as Samsung’s. The report notes Qualcomm will offer two chip variants (not six), with non-binned versions potentially costing upwards of $300, and only premium devices like the Galaxy S27 Ultra likely to carry the standard Gen 6 Pro.

Exynos 2600's Heat Pass Block Outperforms LN-Cooled Snapdragon, Signals Practical Future Cooling

Samsung’s Exynos 2600 introduces Heat Pass Block copper heatsink tech to improve heat transfer, and tests suggest it outperforms a liquid‑nitrogen–cooled Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. While HPB enables better sustained performance and can be aided by a small clip‑on fan for long gaming sessions, the Exynos 2600 still throttles. The development hints that future SoCs may widely adopt advanced cooling like SBS for CPU/DRAM, with Exynos 2700 reportedly exploring such architectures.
