The highly anticipated Redmi K90 has just been spotted on GeekBench, and the benchmark results strongly suggest that the device will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. This marks a major leap for Redmi’s K-series, positioning it directly against 2025’s flagship smartphones.
Redmi K90 GeekBench Scores point to it towards Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5
According to the GeekBench listing (model number 2510DRK44C), the Redmi K90 achieved:
- Single-core score: ~3,000+
- Multi-core score: ~9,300+
These scores nearly align with early results from the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, Qualcomm’s latest flagship processor, although it’s not quite the same, so we can’t say 100% it’s a Gen 5 chip. However, this performance rivals Apple’s A19 Pro in single-core and surpasses many desktop CPUs in multi-core tests.

The Redmi K90 is shaping up to be the most powerful K-series phone to date, offering flagship performance at a more affordable price point. With the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 confirmed by its GeekBench scores, massive battery capacity, and cutting-edge display, the K90 could emerge as one of the most disruptive Android phones of late 2025.
Bottom line: The Redmi K90’s GeekBench appearance shows it as a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 powerhouse, and fans can expect a competitive launch very soon, maybe near November if we look at their previous series launch.
