In general, it is said that both Mi5 and Mi5 Plus will surely be powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 with 64-bit computing and 8 CPU. However, though Snapdragon 810 is powerful and, it does overheat and contains some other problems regardless of how Qualcomm has explained this fact. Therefore, Xiaomi will probably reconsider whether to choose Snapdragon 810 or not.

It is likely to happen since now many sources claim that Qualcomm’s MSM8996 (Snapdragon 820) is going to be released as a processor using Samsung‘s 14nm process.
