The RedMagic 11 Pro has surfaced on Geekbench just weeks before its official debut, offering an early glimpse at Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen Elite 2 in action. The benchmark confirms an eight-core CPU layout with two prime cores clocked at 4.19GHz and six performance cores at 3.63GHz. 
These speeds are slightly dialed back from earlier test runs, a typical move for pre-release silicon.
Even with conservative clocking, the RedMagic 11 Pro scored 3,309 in single-core and 10,742 in multi-core tests. That’s around a 5% single-core and 9% multi-core bump over the RedMagic 10 Pro, showing incremental but meaningful gains. Paired with 16GB RAM, the device looks prepared for heavy multitasking and gaming workloads.
What sets this generation apart isn’t only raw numbers. Nubia is reportedly maintaining the RedMagic series’ built-in cooling fan while adding IP68 dust and water resistance – a first for a gaming phone with active cooling. If true, the 11 Pro could merge hardcore performance with mainstream durability.
Still, not all reactions to the leaked benchmarks have been enthusiastic. Some argue that the uplift is underwhelming compared to rival chipsets and Apple’s processors. Others note the strong single-core performance but remain skeptical about multi-core scaling. A few gamers highlight that while CPU power matters, GPU advancements are what really define the mobile gaming experience.
As anticipation builds, the RedMagic 11 series is shaping up as both an evolution of Nubia’s gaming DNA and an experiment in making niche devices more universally durable. Whether that balance wins over mainstream users remains to be seen when the phones arrive next month.

cpu’s already beast, gpu still lagging tho, that’s where games suffer
bro i cant… low scores again? this is what android flexing now? 🤣
single core looks nice ngl but multicore meh… hope final version better
