Xiaomi plans to unveil its in-house chipset next week (Tuesday) but were still fuzzy on the details. This isnt quite official, but heres what the rumor mill expects out of the two Pinecone chipsets, dubbed V670 and V970.

The more powerful of the two, Pinecone V970, will allegedly be built by Samsung on a very efficient 10nm process. It will feature an octa-core processor, with four Cortex-A73 cores and four A53. The GPU is a next-gen Mali-G71 MP12.

In comparison, the Pinecone V670 is much, much lighter weight. It will be manufactured on the old 28nm process and feature eight Cortex-A53 cores split in high and low-frequency clusters. The GPU will be a basic Mali-T860 MP2 (note: the MP notation shows the core count).

Heres a quick comparison with similar chipsets
