A new REDMI laptop has appeared in Geekbench. The REDMI Book 16 2027 is listed with an Intel Core 5 320, a chip from the Wildcat Lake (Core Series 3) family, hinting at a more efficient design than last year.
Only the processor and memory have leaked, so this is an early look.

Key Details at a Glance
| Spec | Listing detail |
|---|---|
| Processor | Intel Core 5 320 (Wildcat Lake) |
| Cores | 6 (2 performance, 4 efficiency), 6 threads |
| Max clock | Up to 4.6GHz on performance cores |
| Power | 15W class, boosts to 35W |

What the Listing Shows
The Core 5 320 supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X and includes integrated Intel graphics and an NPU rated at around 16 TOPS. Several runs scored close to the best 2,382 single-core and 8,013 multi-core results.
Every sample shows 16GB of DDR5-4800, which may be the entry configuration. See Geekbench for how the scores work.
Compared With the 2026 Model
The REDMI Book 16 2026 uses the Intel Core Ultra 5 125H, supports up to 32GB of faster LPDDR5X, has a 16-inch 2.5K 120Hz display, dual-fan cooling rated around 60W and an 80Wh battery, and sells for roughly 6,000 to 7,000 yuan in China.
The 2027 chip looks like a step down in power class, so the model may aim for lower cost or better efficiency.
What Is Missing
No display, storage, chassis, battery or pricing details have leaked, and no operating system appears in the listing. An announcement should follow Xiaomi’s usual schedule for the Redmi Book line.

Should You Wait?
If you want a cheaper, cooler laptop with long battery life, the new chip may fit. If you need raw power for editing or gaming, the older Core Ultra model is stronger on paper.
Wait for the full spec sheet and price before judging.
What Is Not Confirmed
- The listing shows only the CPU and memory.
- Launch date, price and India availability.

Why Wildcat Lake Matters
Wildcat Lake chips target thin and affordable laptops with modest power budgets. A 15W class part with six cores and an NPU suits everyday work, video calls and light creative tasks while keeping battery use low.
That would make the REDMI Book 16 a value pick, not a performance laptop, which fits the brand’s history of aggressive pricing.
Bottom Line
The Geekbench scores are early and can change with final firmware. Wait for the official announcement for display, battery and price details.
