At least one of the models from the Redmi K50 series will be sporting the MediaTek Dimensity 2000 processor (via My Drivers). The upcoming chip will supersede MediaTek’s current flagship – the Dimensity 1200 – and the Redmi K50 will likely be one of the first devices to be powered by it. The other model from the series will feature the Snapdragon 870 SoC.

This year’s Redmi K40 Pro+

This isn’t the first time Redmi has opted for a flagship Dimensity processor for its K series though, so it doesn’t come as a surprise. Looking at the lineup’s history, the Redmi K30 Extreme Edition came equipped with the Dimensity 1000 Plus, Redmi K40 Gaming is equipped with Dimensity 1200, and the K50 series will now be equipped with Dimensity 2000.

Coming to the processor itself, the Dimensity 2000 is a flagship unit, which according to benchmark scores will be a direct competitor to Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 898 chip. A leak had recently shown a phenomenal AnTuTu score of over a million. For comparison, its predecessor Dimensity 1200 scores around 715,000.

The CPU will be using the same architecture as the Snapdragon 898 and feature 1x 3.0GHz X2 super large core + 3x 2.85GHz large cores + 4x 1.8GHz small cores. It will be paired with a Mali-G710 MC10 GPU.

It is worth noting here that the Redmi K50 model equipped with the Dimensity 2000 will likely be a standard model. The Pro or Pro+ variant is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 898, just like the K40 Pro+ is powered by the Snapdragon 888.

Also worth mentioning is that the Redmi K50 series will most likely be sold with different names outside of China. Take the Redmi K40, for example, that sells as Poco F3 globally and as Mi 11X in India.
