The first reports that Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 could run Windows 11 appeared last fall and since then the OS optimization process on the tablet has advanced significantly due to the work of enthusiasts. Now Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 with Windows 11 for Arm has been tested in the Geekbench benchmark.

Apparently, the Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 will never receive official support for Windows 11 for Arm, so some components of the tablet will not receive drivers. However, this did not stop enthusiasts from installing Windows 11 for Arm on a Xiaomi tablet and testing it on Geekbench.
Recall that Mi Pad 5 (2021) is a productive device that is built on the basis of a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 860 (SM8150-AC) processor and runs on Android 11. The Adreno 640 accelerator is responsible for graphics processing. The configuration is complemented by 6 GB of RAM and storage for 128 GB. The tablet uses an IPS-display with a resolution of 2560 × 1600 pixels.
While testing the Mi Pad 5 with Windows 11 for Arm in the Geekbench 5 benchmark, the tablet scored 456 points in single-core mode, while in multi-core mode the result rose to 1992 points. Compared to x86-compatible processors, the result is not very impressive.
However, if these results are compared with the performance of the Snapdragon 8cx platform designed for Windows devices, the performance degradation will not exceed 20-30%. This result is not bad at all, especially considering that there is simply no official support for the Snapdragon 860 in Windows 11 and there is still a long list of components with missing drivers.
