Lenovo silently showed off the Yoga Pad Pro 14.5 with some impressive specs, such as an OLED screen with 1,600 nits peak brightness and 16 GB of RAM. The only part left out was its SoC. While one would be correct to assume it would be an off-the-shelf part from Qualcomm/MediaTek, an earlier leak predicted it would be Lenovo's first in-house SoC. And now, a new Geekbench listing effectively confirms that.
It is called the Lenovo SS1101, and it comes with a 10-core CPU divided in clusters of 2 (3.29 GHz) + 3 (2.83 GHz) + 2 (1.90 GHz) + 3 (1.71 GHz). The first cluster is a pair of Cortex-X3 cores, but there's no information about the rest. There's a good chance it could use a mix of Cortex-A725, Cortex-A720 and Cortex-A520 cores like the Xiaomi Xring O1. The CPU is accompanied by an Arm Immortalis-G720 GPU.
The Lenovo SS1101 scores 2,014 and 6,530 in Geekbench 6.4's single and multicore tests. While it isn't nearly as impressive as Xiaomi's maiden offering, it is still a decently powerful chip that performs on par with an Exynos 2400 from last year. Additionally, the SS1101 is said to be rumoured to be manufactured on TSMC's N5 node, putting it at a significant disadvantage against the Xring O1.
