As expected, the device will come with Qualcomm's recently launched Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip, a chip that is not as powerful as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 but is a step up from the previous generation Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.

But the good news is that even without the most powerful mobile SoC, the Redmi Turbo 3 still managed to score 1,754,299 on the AnTuTu test - a very respectable score. For reference, the ROG Phone 8 Pro with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 has the highest score at 2,141,448 points, so the Redmi Turbo 3 will be close to the most powerful smartphone available today.
