Redmi Turbo 5 Series spotted on Geekbench with Dimensity 8500 and 9500s
The upcoming Xiaomi Redmi Turbo 5 series has surfaced on Geekbench, revealing early performance details for both the standard and higher-end variants. The listings strongly suggest that Redmi is preparing another value-focused performance lineup, with a noticeable gap between the base and Max models, which might launch globally as the Xiaomi Poco X8 Pro Max.
Redmi Turbo 5 (Base Model)
The standard Xiaomi Redmi Turbo 5 appeared on Geekbench with the following scores:
- Single-core: 1,594
- Multi-core: 6,686
- Chipset: MediaTek Dimensity 8500
- CPU setup: 4 efficiency cores + 3 performance cores + 1 prime core
- Peak clock speed: up to 3.40GHz
- RAM: ~16GB
- OS: Android 16
These numbers place the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 firmly in the upper mid-range category, making the base Turbo 5 suitable for daily multitasking and sustained performance without crossing into flagship pricing.
Redmi Turbo 5 Max (Poco X8 Pro Max)
The more powerful Xiaomi Redmi Turbo 5 Max delivers a significant jump in performance:
- Single-core: 2,842
- Multi-core: 9,105
- Chipset: MediaTek Dimensity 9500s
- CPU setup: 4 efficiency cores + 3 performance cores + 1 prime core
- Prime core clock: up to 3.73GHz
- RAM: ~16GB
- OS: Android 16
In addition to Geekbench results, early reports claim the Turbo 5 Max may score over 3 million points on AnTuTu, putting it in direct competition with current-generation flagship smartphones.
What This Means
With two clearly separated performance tiers, the Redmi Turbo 5 series appears to target users who want maximum performance for the price. The base model focuses on balanced efficiency, while the Max variant aims straight at flagship-level benchmarks, without the typical flagship branding.
If these leaked benchmarks hold true, Redmi could once again redefine the “value flagship” category in 2026.
