It has been a full three months since MTK released the Tianji 9000, and now the mobile platform, which is regarded as the biggest challenger of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 this year, has finally landed, and Redmi's K50 series chips have also been officially released.
Unlike previous years' products, this year's K50 has three product lines, including K50 e-sports edition, K50 Pro and K50, in addition to the e-sports version using Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 processor, K50 Pro and K50 both use MediaTek processors, of which K50 Pro is equipped with Tianji 9000, and K50 is the first to carry Tianji 8100.
As a mobile chip that MTK has high hopes for, this year's Tianji 9000 does have something to admire.
The Tianji 9000 uses a 4nm process, which is exactly the same as the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8, but the difference is that the Tianji 9000 uses the process of TSMC, and Qualcomm uses the process of Samsung.

In terms of core, the CPU part of the Tianji 9000 adopts the internal structure of 1 super large core + 3 large cores + 4 small cores. Among them, the super large core is the debut Cortex-X2 with a main frequency of 3.05GHz; the large core is Cortex-A710, the main frequency is 2.85GHz; the small core is Cortex-A510, the main frequency is 1.8GHz, and the 8MB L3+6MB system cache comparable to the PC platform i7 has a 7% increase in performance compared with the previous generation, while bandwidth consumption is reduced by 25%.
The GPU of the Tianji 9000 is the world's first Arm Mali-G710 MC10, which is 35% higher than the previous generation, 60% more energy efficient, and supports Vulkan-based ray tracing. It is also the world's first 5G SoC to support 7500Mbps LPDDR5x memory. The Tianji 9000 also integrates 6 fifth-generation APUs, which have improved performance and energy efficiency by 400%.
From the simple data, it is not difficult to see that this year's MTK chip adopts the exact same three-cluster design as Qualcomm Snapdragon 8, and the core architecture of super core, large core and small core is exactly the same. The difference is that the processor frequency of the Tianji 9000 is significantly higher than that of the Snapdragon 8.
K50 Esports Edition and K50 Pro's Antu Rabbit Running Score Comparison
I compared the K50 e-sports version equipped with Snapdragon 8 and the K50 Pro equipped with Tianji 9000 Antu rabbit running score, from the distribution of scores can also be seen, although the two mobile phones in the overall performance of no obvious difference, but in the subdivision of the results, it is obvious that the processor frequency of the K50 Pro in the CPU, MEM and UX data is better, and the K50 e-sports version equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8, in the GPU score is significantly ahead.
This is also the biggest difference between Qualcomm and Snapdragon this year, Snapdragon 8 under the premise of limited overall processor power improvement, the performance of the GPU has increased by nearly 50%.
However, this year Qualcomm did not solve the problem of Heat and Energy Consumption of Snapdragon 8 very well, which led to Qualcomm's version of the Snapdragon 8 in daily use will obviously feel that the heat is relatively large, and at the same time, in high-load scenarios such as games, the power consumption of Snapdragon 8 will be relatively higher than that of Tianji 9000.
This is a power consumption curve of Tianji 9000 (blue line) and Snapdragon 9 in the original god half an hour test, which can be clearly seen that Tianji 9000 has a fairly good energy efficiency control. This is definitely the biggest surprise that MTK brings to us on the Tianji 9000 chip.
In the actual game test, I compared the Find X5 Pro version just released by OPPO, which is also a processor of The Tianji 9000, but because the overall hardware and software tuning is different, the Redmi K50 Pro and OPPO Find X5 Pro Version have come up with two completely different curves.
In this test, the purple line is Redmi K50 Pro, the green line is OPPO Find X5 Pro Tianji Edition, in the case of opening 60 frames, both of them have carried out the test of the world running map and the world BOSS, from the intuitive data of the curve and the actual performance, Redmi is obviously a more stable product, OPPO's more conservative temperature control strategy, resulting in a period of time in the middle, the phone firmly locked 30 frames, after the BOSS finished, The overall temperature drops, and the frame rate slowly rises.
This is a very typical example, Redmi and OPPO provide a complete performance improvement solution in the mobile phone, after Redmi turned on the performance mode, the temperature critical point control of the whole machine is obviously more aggressive than OPPO. Oppo has consistently maintained the protection measures of frequency reduction as soon as the temperature is high, and the direct problem is that the game of the original god that consumes extremely much hardware is running, and the experience of the two is completely different.
K50 Pro King of Glory Test Results
The test of the glory of the king, open 120 frames, the overall consumption is not as large as the original god, and finally the score of Redmi K50 Pro recorded 116.7 frames, the entire game link, there was only one obvious frame jump, and the sudden high curve in the chart also recorded this frame jump. But basically the overall stability of the game is good, and the process of the game is relatively smooth.
Another highlight of this phone is charging, 120W charging is already xiaomi in high-end products standard, K50 Pro has a 5000 mAh single cell battery, measured in about 20 minutes, can be the phone's battery from 1% to 100%.
Since the time to get started with the K50 Pro was relatively short, I only did more of a test in terms of gameplay and performance. From the actual performance point of view, Redmi K50 Pro continues the relatively aggressive temperature control design on the previous K50 e-sports version, with the large-area heat dissipation system in the fuselage, it can indeed get a good smooth experience in actual use.
Thanks to the good energy efficiency ratio brought by Tianji 9000, the overall power consumption of K50 Pro will be better than that of the previous Snapdragon 8, with a large battery of 5000mAh, if I choose from the three K50 series mobile phones that have been released, I will recommend users to buy this K50 Pro as their main machine to use.
