Chinese tech giant Xiaomi has announced the mass production of its self-developed advanced mobile processor, the Xring O1. This chip will be used in the company’s high-end devices and is considered a significant step in strengthening Xiaomi’s in-house technology capabilities.
Xiaomi’s founder and CEO, Lei Jun, stated on his personal Weibo account that the Xring O1 chip will first power the Xiaomi 15S Pro smartphone and the Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra tablet. The official launch event for both devices is scheduled for May 22, 2025.
The Xring O1 chip is built using TSMC’s 3-nanometer technology and features a 10-core CPU configuration. This setup combines high-performance Cortex-X925 cores with additional mid- and energy-efficient cores. The chip is also equipped with a 16-core Mali G925 GPU, significantly enhancing its graphics performance.
Xiaomi has invested 13.5 billion yuan (approximately 1.87 billion USD) in the development of the Xring O1 and plans to invest at least another 50 billion yuan (about 6.93 billion USD) in chip design over the next decade. This strategy reflects Xiaomi’s goal to increase the use of internal technologies in its products, boost competitiveness, and reduce supply chain dependencies.
The Xiaomi 15S Pro smartphone and Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra tablet, powered by the Xring O1 chip, will hold an important place in the company’s high-end device portfolio. These devices aim to offer users faster and more efficient experiences while showcasing Xiaomi’s leadership in technological innovation.
