As we mentioned, Lu Weibing through his Weibo account teased the AnTuTu benchmark scores of the upcoming Redmi Note 8 series phones that are fuelled by the Helio G90T chipset. The upcoming smartphone uses MediaTek Helio G90T that is claimed to have surpassed the benchmark results of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 710 but falls short of matching Huawei Kirin 810 SoC. In AnTuTu, the Kirin 710 processor scores the highest – 301,419. In comparison, the Helio G90T scores 283,333 in AnTuTu and lastly the Snapdragon 710 chip gets 214,739 points in the performance test. This benchmark score confirms the MediaTek Helio G90T is much powerful than the Snapdragon 710 that powers the Redmi Note 7 Pro and Realme 3 Pro.
