Xiaomi 3nm Beast Leaves Qualcomm In The Dust
Xiaomi created its first 3-nanometer processor, XRING 01, today. The Chinese company competes against the Snapdragon 8 Elite and Apple A19 chips. TSMC makes the processor using advanced 3nm technology. The chip contains 19 billion tiny parts on a 109 square millimeter surface. Ten processing cores deliver faster performance than typical eight-core designs. Two powerful Cortex-X925 cores run at 3.90 gigahertz, six middle-tier Cortex-A725 cores handle regular tasks, and two efficient Cortex-A520 cores save battery power during light usage. The graphics processor uses 16 ARM Immortalis-G925 cores for gaming. Modern features support the fastest memory and storage standards available.
