Overview

  • Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun revealed that the XRING 01 chip is the result of 10 years of R&D, supported by an investment of over 105 billion yuan in the last five years.
  • Recent Geekbench 6 leaks indicate the XRING 01 features a '2+4+2+2' decacore configuration, achieving 2,709 single-core and 8,125 multi-core scores, placing it close to Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite.
  • The chip's 3.90GHz peak core speed suggests it may be fabricated on TSMC's 3nm process, though earlier rumors pointed to a 4nm node.
  • Benchmark discrepancies, including variations in core configurations, hint that Xiaomi may be developing multiple XRING 01 variants for different devices.
  • The XRING 01 marks Xiaomi's strategic push for vertical integration, aiming to reduce reliance on external suppliers and achieve tighter hardware-software synergy.
