Earlier this week, we reported that MediaTek will have an event on May 7 where it is expected to announce new processors. One of the expected chipsets is a higher-clocked version of the Dimensity 800.

It turns out that an AnTuTu benchmark result of this higher clocked version already surfaced on the web. And it is compared against that of the standard version. The benchmark results were posted on Weibo by Digital Chat Station and he said they are from prototype devices.

As you can see in the images above, the device powered by the overclocked Dimensity 800 (right) scored higher than the device powered by the standard Dimensity 800 in all areas, most especially in the CPU, UX, and GPU categories.

According to a tweet by Russian tech blog @Xiaomishka, the Dimensity 800 and Dimensity 800+ (overclocked version) will power two upcoming Redmi phones in China. The phones have model numbers M2004J7AC and M2004J7BC and are believed to be the Redmi Note 10 (Dimensity 800) and Redmi Note 10 Pro (Dimensity 800+).

After the presentation of #MediaTek on May 7th, now I am more than sure that the following #Redmi smartphones are:
1⃣ M2004J7AC = #RedmiNote10 with Dimensity 800 SoC
2⃣ M2004J7BC = #RedmiNote10Pro with Dimensity 800+ SoC (the speed of the large core is increased to 2.6GHz)

The tweet reveals the Dimensity 800+ has its “large core” pushed to 2.6GHz which is a significant bump from the 2.0GHz clockspeed of the performance cores of the Dimensity 800.

We advise you to take the above with a grain of salt until more details surface. Nevertheless, there is no gainsaying that the overclocked Dimensity 800 will offer a significant improvement in performance over the Dimensity 800.
