For the computing power in Mi 4c a 64-bit Snapdragon 808 makes Hexa-core processor. The name says it all: the arithmetic unit operates with six cores. They cooperate in the so-called Big.Little process. Two of the cores Cortex A57. With 1.8GHz they assume the most compute-intensive work. When less power is demanded? Then jump a four Cortex A-53 cores. This can work significantly more power efficient. So the Phone on the one hand absorb power spikes, but then consume little energy. As a graphic unit which is Adreno 418 GPU. It supports OpenGL ES 3.1 and DirectX feature level 11_1. The clock rate is 600 MHz. This is one of the Adreno 418 even for high-end class.
