Xiaomi has announced its first custom chip called XRING 01. CEO Lei Jun shared the news through social media without revealing technical details. The company plans to showcase the chip later this month. Reports indicate XRING 01 will use TSMC's 4nm manufacturing technology. The processor will feature ARM's current Cortex-X925 design running at 3.20GHz.
Xiaomi might have chosen older technology to keep prices lower for consumers. The company successfully created a 3nm chip version last year that could arrive in 2025. Xiaomi appears careful about attracting attention from American regulators who might restrict their technology access. A team of 1,000 staff members works on the XRING 01 project. A former Qualcomm executive leads the team with direct access to CEO Lei Jun.
