Overview

  • Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun announced the late May launch of the XRING 01, the company's first self-developed mobile chip since 2017.
  • The XRING 01 is independently designed by Xiaomi, using ARM architecture, and reportedly manufactured by TSMC on its advanced 3-nm process node.
  • While expected to deliver high performance, the chip is unlikely to surpass flagship processors like Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite or MediaTek's Dimensity 9400.
  • This move aligns with Xiaomi's strategy to reduce reliance on third-party chipmakers and strengthen its ecosystem in the competitive smartphone market.
  • Xiaomi resumed mobile chip development in 2021 after pausing in 2019, with plans to integrate the XRING 01 into premium devices such as smartphones and tablets.
