Xiaomi’s Redmi will soon refresh the RedmiBook Pro lineup. This year, the RedmiBook Pro 15 is expected to come with an upgraded specs sheet like Intel’s 12th gen processor and improved design. Now, the RedmiBook Pro 15 2022 has appeared on the Geekbench certification confirming key hardware details.

The RedmiBook Pro 15 2022 edition offers a score of 1800 points in the single-core department and 11872 points in the multi-core department on the Geekbench 5. The notebook is powered by the Intel Core i7-12650 processor clocked at a base frequency of 2.26GHz. The processor has 10 cores and 16 threads, it has up to 24MB cache. It has 16GB of RAM and is expected to come with 512GB of SSD storage like the predecessor.

There haven’t been any concrete leaks about the upcoming laptop. But we do know that the Redmi Book Pro 15 will have four variants – RMA2202-AD, RMA2202-BD, RMA2202-AI, and RMA2202-BI. As per the Bluetooth SIG certification, all the laptops will have Bluetooth v5.1 support.

Apart from this, we can speculate the upcoming RedmiBook Pro 15 2022 to come with a high-resolution display featuring a fast refresh rate. The laptop may come with low blue light certification and DC dimming features like the predecessor. We can expect the laptop to come with a dedicated GPU, but at the moment, there are no details about it.

Redmi is yet to reveal the laptop’s launch timeline, but given that the laptop has passed Geekbench, also since the predecessor was launched in March last year, we can expect the 2022 edition’s launch this month.
