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.
The Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra tablet receives a slower version of the new processor. The chip still performs well despite reduced clock speeds during testing. Xiaomi 15S Pro smartphone becomes the first phone with XRING 01 power. The company wants to rely less on Qualcomm and MediaTek suppliers. Future products may use more Xiaomi-designed processors over several years.
