Another piece of the Redmi K100 puzzle has just fallen into place.

The Redmi K100 series is inching closer to launch. Ahead of its expected debut in August, one of the upcoming models has surfaced on Geekbench, revealing its chipset, memory configuration, and early benchmark scores.

According to the Geekbench database, a Xiaomi device carrying the model number M511CD has been spotted online. The same model was previously certified on China’s 3C certification platform with support for 100W wired fast charging, making it highly likely to be one of the upcoming Redmi K100 series phones.

The benchmark listing confirms the device is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (SM8850) processor, paired with 16GB of RAM. It is also running Android 16, although it’s still unclear whether it will ship with Xiaomi’s latest HyperOS 4 interface.

In Geekbench’s CPU tests, the handset scored 3,429 in the single-core benchmark and 10,461 in the multi-core benchmark.
