It's exactly a year since Xiaomi unveiled its 2020 flagship phone, the Xiaomi Mi 10. Of course, it came with the best hardware of the era, including the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor, which still performs very well today. After the announcement of the Mi 11, a Chinese blog Media Lei Technology tweaked the phone a bit to squeeze better performance out of it.
To overclock the GPU, they used a GPU OVerclocking application called KonaBess, which was able to increase the clock speed to a level that approached the performance of the SD888 running today. Then came the tests, AnTuTu, Geekbench and 3D Mark, the results are amazing.
You can see the Xiaomi Mi 11's scores above, with nearly 700,000 AnTuTu scores, 4.284 OpenCL, 4.152 Vulkan and 3D Mark 5.628. Now let's see what the Xiaomi Mi 10 with its overclocked processor has done.
The difference in AnTuTu scores is quite significant, with a score of 568.933 in plain hours, and 626.146 when overdrawn! Well, it's not 700,000 but it's a pretty significant improvement in GPU scores.
Geekbench OpenCL is 4.282 which is quite something, 2 points behind the Mi 11, Vulkan is 3.929 which is 223 points less, which is almost a fantastic achievement. 3D Mark performance is 4.995 which is 633 points below the Mi 11.
Although the circumstances are unclear as to whether they used modified cooling or a factory-made one to dissipate the extra heat generated, or whether they just stuck it in a freezer during the tests. But from the tests, it appears that they were able to increase the graphics performance of last year's top model by 30%. No one should try this at home, or you can cook your phone nicely!
