"he Redmi K50 is expected to use a new chip from MediaTek that we’ve seen reported as the Dimensity 7000 (sometimes as the 8000). Unlike the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Dimensity 9000, early rumors claim that this will be a 5 nm chip without a Cortex-X2 core (so four A78 and four A55) and a Mali-G510 MC6. It will be interesting to see how this one stacks up against the Snapdragon 870 of the Redmi K50 Pro – the naming suggests that the Pro will be faster, the hardware specs (if accurate) make the Dimensity the better chip."

That part is confusing since the 5nm chip without X2 core must have only A710 and A510 instead of A78 and A55.
So, there is a chance that there might be 2 chips?
- Dimensity 8000 with the A710 and A510
- Dimensity 7000 with the A78 and A55 ones

    Stability of 870 is better than 888, so it's actually not a downgrade.

    I am waiting for the stress tests of the D9000, because 8 gen 1 is just another throttling oven
