The POCO X8 Pro has just appeared on Geekbench, featuring a powerful Dimensity 8500 processor, a large 6,500 mAh battery, and impressive 100W fast charging technology.
The POCO X8 Pro, Xiaomi's next strategic mid-range smartphone, has officially appeared in the Geekbench database. This information confirms that the device will have a powerful configuration with a MediaTek Dimensity 8500 processor and up to 12GB of RAM, promising a superior performance experience.
Power from the large all-core architecture on the Dimensity 8500
According to data from Geekbench, the POCO X8 Pro (model code 2511FPC34G) uses the Dimensity 8500 chipset, manufactured on TSMC's advanced N4P (4nm) process. The special feature of this chip lies in its "all-large core" design with 8 Cortex-A725 cores, optimizing its ability to handle demanding tasks and complex multitasking.
The CPU architecture is divided into three different clock speed clusters to balance performance and power consumption: one main core running at 3.4GHz, three high-performance cores at 3.2GHz, and the remaining four cores operating at 2.2GHz. In real-world testing, the machine achieved 1,708 single-core points and 6,297 multi-core points.
