Xiaomi’s custom smartphone chip, the XRING O1, will officially launch on May 22. Last week, the company’s co-founder, Lei Jun, officially announced its existence and the launch timeframe.

The XRING O1 uses a standalone MediaTek T800 modem chipset instead of Xiaomi’s in-house Surge T-series modem. After all, it even took six years for a giant like Apple to have its first 5G modem.

Xiaomi has unveiled its first in-house flagship chipset, the Xring O1, and it’s got enough power to go head-to-head with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite. The company also unveiled a 15S Pro ...

The Xring O1 uses two Cortex-X925 prime cores, not one. Xiaomi opted to skip the X4 core in favor of two variants of the Cortex-A725, along with two A520 cores.

The company’s CEO and founder Lei Jun introduced the YU7, Xiaomi’s first SUV, and the Xring O1, a 3-nanometer mobile chip meant to rival Apple and Qualcomm’s top-tier smartphone chips, at a ...

Whether the XRING O1 will absolutely floor the Snapdragon 8 Elite and the Dimensity 9400 in production models is yet to be seen, but it will certainly surpass expectations and go toe-to-toe with ...

The rumors of Xiaomi joining the custom chip gang were finally made official last week. Now we know that the company will be unveiling its first-ever custom smartphone SoC, called the XRING O1.

The XRing O1 is apparently built on TSMC’s advanced 3nm node. The advanced process suggests that the Chinese tech giant aims on offering performance, whilst not compromising on power efficiency.

On Monday, Lei said Xiaomi had invested 13.5 billion yuan ($1.87 billion) to develop the Xring O1, and that it planned to invest at least 50 billion yuan more in chip design over at least 10 years.

The Xring O1 is fabbed on the TSMC N3E node, the same as MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400. And it uses some of the same parts too – e.g. Cortex-X925 for the CPU and Immortalis-G925 for the GPU.
