According to their Geekbench AI listings, the Xiaomi 18 Pro will use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chipset, while the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6. Xiaomi has already confirmed these respective processors for the global variants.
Both smartphones are listed with an octa-core CPU featuring three cores clocked at 3.74GHz, three cores running at 4.03GHz, and two cores reaching 5.01GHz. However, the two models differ in their graphics processing units. The Xiaomi 18 Pro listing mentions an Adreno 845 GPU, while the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max is listed with an Adreno 850 GPU.
Here is a comparison of their reported AI benchmark scores and hardware details.
