Naming is hard. Especially for chips. There are multiple product lines that perform in different ways with multiple price/performance optimizations.

8 means high-end. Gen 6 means the 6th generation. Elite is a bit like Core or M in that it describes their latest chip process. Extreme means it's the high end chip of that generation's chip.

You cannot do it right. Intel had a sort-of-useful naming scheme with their "Core i7 3600" naming style, except you couldn't tell if the i7 4500 would outperform the i5 3700 or not. Also there was a k and a u after the CPU name. They stepped away from that scheme, now they have somehow invented an even less useful naming scheme. And, of course, the Celeron/Pentium line never followed any comparable naming scheme either.

Apple then tried; they came up with the A4/A5/A6 for phones and M1/M2/M3 for computers, simple enough. Well, until you got the Pro/Ultra/Max (Max, of course, being slower than the Ultra, because Max doesn't mean maximum performance). Then their A chip ended up in a laptop and their M chip ended up in a tablet and their weird headset got a new R chip that never got a newer version. Oh, and for laptops you need to pay attention to how many cores your M chip has, because there are multiple SKUs with the same name differentiated by core count.

AMD had a useful-ish naming scheme for Ryzen but then they had to fuck up their mobile chip names. Then they did their weird AI product line, which killed any serious attempt to track what chips are sold at what performance points.

If Qualcomm do everything right, their next generation will have a mid-tier chip that outperforms their current top model. None of these names and numbers are useful for comparing.

Mediatek is doing the Intel thing now with their Dimensity #### where the first number is the market segment, the other numbers indicate performance and generation within the market segment, and the suffix indicates what features were glued onto the SoC.

Every name makes sense if you know the formula.
