The upcoming Poco F8 Pro has finally surfaced in Geekbench benchmark listings, and the results confirm what fans have been speculating for months — this is going to be one of the most powerful Poco flagships ever made. The listings also strengthen reports that the F8 Pro will be a rebranded Redmi K90, following Xiaomi’s long-running trend of reusing premium Redmi hardware for Poco’s global lineup.
With the Geekbench results now out in the open, the Poco F8 Pro appears set to raise the bar for performance, gaming, and flagship-grade value in 2025.
⚡ Snapdragon 8 Elite Confirmed — Qualcomm’s Most Powerful Mobile Chip Yet
The biggest confirmation from the benchmark leak is the chipset powering the device — the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite, Qualcomm’s new top-tier SoC that succeeds the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 series.
The Snapdragon 8 Elite brings several major improvements:
-
Adreno 830 GPU, offering huge gaming performance uplift
-
New CPU architecture with significantly higher efficiency
-
Prime core clocked at 4.32 GHz, one of the fastest clock speeds on any smartphone
-
AI acceleration upgrades for on-device processing
-
Better thermal control during long gaming sessions
This instantly puts the Poco F8 Pro in flagship territory, capable of handling console-level games, heavy multitasking, 4K video editing, and next-gen AI features.
📊 Geekbench Performance: Major Leap Over Poco F7 Ultra
The leaked Geekbench results show the Poco F8 Pro scoring:
-
2,288 points in single-core
-
8,494 points in multi-core
Compared to the Poco F7 Ultra:
-
Single-core performance increased by ~10%
-
Multi-core performance jumped by over 38%
This is a substantial leap forward, especially considering the F7 Ultra was already one of the most powerful Poco phones ever released.
The multi-core gains are especially impressive, thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Elite’s upgraded cluster design and higher-frequency performance cores.
🎮 Adreno 830 GPU: A Big Win for Gamers
The Poco F8 Pro will feature the Adreno 830 GPU, which promises huge improvements in gaming performance, graphics rendering, HDR capabilities, and power efficiency.
Early reports suggest:
-
Up to 30% better ray tracing performance
-
More stable FPS in popular titles
-
Reduced heating under load
-
Better shader optimization for next-gen mobile games
This makes the F8 Pro an ideal device for players of Genshin Impact, COD Mobile, Fortnite, and other GPU-intensive games.
🛠️ 12GB RAM + Android 16 Confirmed
The tested Geekbench unit ran:
-
Android 16 out of the box
-
12GB of RAM
This confirms that Poco is pushing the F8 Pro as a next-generation device with the newest software experience and strong multitasking capabilities. Combined with the Snapdragon 8 Elite, Android 16 will likely deliver smoother animations, better thermal tuning, and deeper AI features integrated into HyperOS.
🔄 Rebrand Confirmed: Poco F8 Pro = Redmi K90
The hardware similarities, benchmark IDs, and processor choice all point to one fact:
The Poco F8 Pro is almost certainly a rebrand of the Redmi K90.
Shared features include:
-
Snapdragon 8 Elite processor
-
Adreno 830 GPU
-
Similar benchmark identifiers
-
Matching RAM and software configuration
This is consistent with past Poco models such as the Poco F5 → Redmi K60 or Poco F6 Pro → Redmi K70.
📱 What to Expect in the Final Device
While benchmarks don’t reveal the full picture, here’s what experts believe the Poco F8 Pro will offer:
-
1.5K or 2K AMOLED display with 120Hz/144Hz refresh rate
-
Upgraded heat dissipation system
-
120W or 150W fast charging
-
5,000–5,500mAh battery
-
Improved camera sensors from the K90 series
-
HyperOS with AI enhancements
If these features arrive at Poco’s usually aggressive pricing, the F8 Pro could become the best value flagship of 2025.
🏁 Final Thoughts — A Flagship Killer in the Making
With the Snapdragon 8 Elite, improved Geekbench scores, Android 16, and next-gen GPU power, the Poco F8 Pro is shaping up to be a monster performer. Poco’s tradition of delivering high-end specifications at a midrange price makes this leak even more exciting for users.
If the global launch keeps prices competitive, the Poco F8 Pro could easily dominate the market and challenge phones nearly twice its cost.
