In particular we find four cores Kryo 260 Cortex A73 semi-custom clocked in 1.8 GHz along with others four semi-custom Cortex A53 cores energy efficient clocked at 1.6 GHz, all enriched by one GPU Adreno 509 GPU e X12 LTE modem of Qualcomm with downloads up to 600 Mbps.

Indeed the result of the benchmark puts the Redmi Note 5 between a medium range and a top of the range, creating in a certain sense a new band of belonging. In the table below they are put to comparing different smartphone models made in Xiaomi and related CPUs, from which we immediately notice that the production process plays an important role, in fact, at the same speed of the cores the CPU 28nn fails to offer efficiency levels as those returned by chipset to 14nm.
The benchmark comparison also analyzes top-of-the-range CPUs such as 835 and 821, considering that all seven devices run on MIUI interface but the base of Android differs, as Mi 5, Mi 5S and Redmi Note 3 are based on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow while the rest of the crew on Android 7.1.1 Nougat. It should also be considered that the Redmi Note 5 Pro currently mounts the version MIUI 9.2.2.0 beta, awaiting the stable 9.2.4.0 update, which blocks some benchmarks like Geekbench and GFXBench.
With a score of 112649 the Redmi Note 5 Pro is far from any other device in the reference budget segment taking the Redmi Note 5 / Redmi 5 Plus with an 77236 score as an example. Without a doubt, the 636 Snapdragon offers huge gains over the previous Snapdragon 625 and this will make the smartphones much more exciting. In fact at a price of about 13999 Rs. (about 175 euro) for the 4 / 64 GB version and 16999 RMB (about 212 euro) for the 6 / 64 GB version with availability starting from the February 22 exclusively on the Flipkart market, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro It has already earned the best buy 2018 title.
