On February 24, or tomorrow, the OPPO Find X5 will be launched, the first smartphone in the world with the new MediaTek Dimensity 9000. Redmi, being a cheaper brand than the parent company Xiaomi, will also be one of the first to adopt the MediaTek chip Dimensity 9000 on your devices.
Redmi K50 series coming with Dimensity 9000 chip, GM Lu Weibing confirms it
In this regard, this afternoon the vice president of Xiaomi and general manager of Redmi, Lu Weibing, seems to have just officially confirmed it. Lu Weibing has in fact confirmed on Weibo (the Chinese Twitter) that the Redmi K50 series will be equipped with the Dimensity 9000 processor, but that this will come out after its competitors, such as OPPO.
For the uninitiated, the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 is a very advanced chipset that adopts TSMC's 4nm manufacturing process and adopts a new generation of Armv9 architecture. In terms of CPU, it has 1 integrated super core (Cortex-X2 at 3,05 GHz), 3 large cores (Cortex-A710 at 2,85 GHz) and 4 power efficient cores (Cortex-A510 at 1,8 GHz), 8 MB L3 cache + 6 MB SLC.
Judging by the known hardware specifications, the Dimensity 9000 will be the highest performing chip ever released by MediaTek, even surpassing the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen1. In fact, the general specifications are exactly the same, but by adopting a more stable TSMC production, the chip could perform better than Qualcomm's alternative.
Also, recently, AnTuTu unveiled the benchmark of the first Dimensity 9000 flagship to us, which shows that the smartphone's score has easily surpassed one million and its performance is close to that of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8.
In any case, based on previous news, the model mentioned today by Lu Weibing should be the top-of-the-range Redmi K50 Pro + of the K50 series. In addition to its great performance, the device is also expected to feature a Samsung-made OLED screen that will likely use the new E5 material.
