As MIUI 8 is a major upgrade after MIUI 7, it brings several new features and performance improvements (check below source link for complete changelog). The following is some of the highlights of the Mi 4/3 MIUI 8.1.4.0.MXDMIDI update –

These Xiaomi Mi 3/ 4 users need to flash fastboot ROM in order to enjoy MIUI 8.1.4.0 Global Stable update. Just follow below steps to download and flash MIUI 8 global stable ROM on Mi 3/ 4.
