Qualcomm’s longest-lived god U! Snapdragon 8E5 will be durable in the next two years: the most powerful chip in the 5,000 yuan range

Kuai Technology reported on August 11 that the REDMI K100 Pro Max was officially released tonight. The machine is equipped with Qualcomm’s fifth-generation Snapdragon 8 Extreme Edition flagship platform (hereinafter referred to as Snapdragon 8E5). The first sales price starts at 4,199 yuan, and the price after national subsidies starts at 3,699 yuan. Wei Siqi, general manager of the marketing department of Xiaomi China, said at the press conference that more manufacturers will choose Snapdragon 8E5 in the next two years. This chip may still firmly occupy the position of the most powerful performance chip in the 5,000 yuan range in 2027, which can be called a generation of magic. This chip is Qualcomm's flagship SoC launched in the second half of last year. Although it has been released for nearly a year, many subsequent models will still be equipped with Snapdragon 8E5, which also makes it Qualcomm's flagship chip with an extremely long life cycle in recent years. Against the background of the current high cost of 2nm flagship chips, Snapdragon 8E5 has become a pragmatic choice for more manufacturers with its excellent energy efficiency performance and mature process advantages. Judging from the current performance, the overall performance of Snapdragon 8E5 still ranks first in the industry. It uses the mature TSMC 3nm process, and the CPU's Prime core frequency is as high as 4.6GHz, which performs extremely well in terms of computing power output. In terms of graphics processing, Snapdragon 8E5 is equipped with a new Adreno GPU slicing architecture, the main frequency is increased to 1.2GHz, and a new 18MB dedicated cache is added. With this powerful hardware base, its AnTuTu score can easily exceed the 4 million mark, and its performance is still strong. This time REDMI K100 Pro Max is equipped with Snapdragon 8E5 and also has a built-in AI gaming independent graphics chip D2. Through the independent AI hardware GEX module, combined with AI model pre-training, it further optimizes light and shadow, line and texture details, improves anti-aliasing performance, and presents native image quality comparable to PC-level, creating an immersive gaming experience for players. The two work together and combine software and hardware to make K100 Pro Max more capable in gaming scenarios.
