Xiaomi 13 Pro international variant Geekbench scores
The global variant of the Xiaomi 13 Pro managed to get a single-core score of 1481 and a multi-core score of 4676. At first glance, these numbers look impressive, but let us remind you that the Chinese variant managed to score 1504 in single-core and 5342 in multi-core tests on Geekbench. Could this mean that the global variant will come with a performance downgrade? It is hard to say at this point as post-launch, the retail units could perform better on benchmarking tools. However, it would be interesting to see how the story unfolds.
