Xiaomi plans to launch its first homemade computer chip on May 22. The company will put this XRING 01 chip into its new Pad 7 Ultra tablet. Tests show Xiaomi made two different versions of this chip. The tablet version runs a bit slower than the full-speed model, but this slower chip still performs as well as chips from Qualcomm and MediaTek in tests.
The fastest part of the chip runs at 3.70GHz instead of the original 3.90GHz, and four other processor cores run at 3.04GHz rather than 3.40GHz. Making slightly slower chips helps Xiaomi save money on manufacturing costs, as tablets sell in smaller numbers than phones. The faster chip version will likely appear in the upcoming Xiaomi 15S Pro phone.
