I bought the Redmi K50 pro which is the Chinese version of the phone that was supposed to be poco f4 pro. I got it from giztop. Amazing phone and the price is very good. Best value for money flagship killer for me.

single core is on par with snapdragon 8 plus gen 1 tho. Ofc 9000+'s multicore is higher than snapdragon 8 plus gen 1 bcos of 9000+'s middle cores were clocked at 2.85ghz while snapdragon 8 plus gen 1's middle core is only clocked at 2.75ghz

Wews, As per leaks (notebook check) Dimensity 9000+ beats 8+gen1 in both single and multi-core but with a very slight point difference.

Looks like the new snap 8 Gen 1 plus is just a superly overclocked 8 Gen 1😃, maybe using the tsmc process might reduce the heating, but the power consumption? Guys go see geekerwan in utube,the diy going phone, overclocked snap 855 has better performance than 8 gen 1 but with a little lower power consumption 😂.D9000 is MediaTek's first flagship processor and it's way better in power consumption and heat than 8 gen 1, we'll see whether this plus version fixes it. Mediatek did a good job tho fr.But the snapdragon 8 Gen 1 shines in the VR part for sure.

LoL just learn what is peak performance and what is stable. Qualcomm announced it would be 30 percent more efficient.

The higher watts used by a soc the higher heat will generate. The sd 8 plus gen 1 consumes fewer watts than the vanilla one thus generating lower heat

Wews, How many watts does 8gen1 use compared to 8+gen1?

Ram, Ram, the 8 gen 1 scored 175 points and consumed 8.5w while the 8+ gen 1 scored 185 points and consumed 7.5w the difference between these 8gen1 and 8+gen1's performance is small but their power efficiency is significant

now even mkhbd on Twitter says that the sd 8+gen1 is faster and more efficient than the vanilla one. That is bcos the sd 8gen1 was made by Samsung WHICH IS TRASH compared to sd 8+gen1 which was made by tsmc

that would make the phone overheat thats why they limit it at 4300 score
