Xiaomi China today confirmed via social media that both the Xiaomi 12 and Xiaomi 12 Pro will be using Qualcomm’s latest and greatest, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset to provide the “fastest in the industry” performance for its customers.
However, Xiaomi is not the only phone manufacturer that is using the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 for its flagships. There is also the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S22 series, Realme GT 2 Pro, Oppo Find X4 Pro and the recenty released Motorola Edge X30 packing the same flagship chipset as the Xiaomi 12 Pro.
Recently, benchmark scores of Xiaomi 12 Pro were leaked, and the news is promising. In Geekbench 5, the Xiaomi 12 Pro had scored 1246 in the single-core tests and 3903 in the multi-core tests. In comparison, the Moto X30, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Qualcomm Reference Device, and the Dimensity 9000 MediaTek Reference Device scored lower than the Xiaomi flagship in the same benchmarking test.
However, according to official Geekbench results, we can see that the Xiaomi 12 Pro lags behind the Dimensity 9000 in multi-core score. The new MediaTek chip scores above 4000 in the multi-core test unlike the Xiaomi 12 in this listing which had a score of just over 3900. In terms of single-core scores, the difference between the Dimensity 9000 and Xiaomi 12 Pro is marginal, yet still in favor of the Dimensity 9000. The Geekbench testing also records that the 12GB variant of the Xiaomi 12 Pro running Android 12 was used for the tests.
Xiaomi is welcoming 2022 with its most highlighted flagship series, the Xiaomi 12 lineup and to know more about them, stay tuned for the launch event on 28 December at 7:30 pm CST.
