Setting a new milestone in the silicon race is Xiaomi’s XRING 01, which has been officially announced today, and is the company’s first 3nm chipset that competes with the Snapdragon 8 Elite, Dimensity 9400, Dimensity 9400+, Apple’s A19, and A19 Pro. The Chinese firm has now laid out all the details, providing the necessary specifications of its latest chipset, so let us dive into the launch immediately.
GPU configuration of XRING 01 takes a step further as it features a 16-core ARM Immortalis-G925 graphics processor
Thanks to utilizing TSMC’s second-generation 3nm technology, the XRING 01 sports 19 billion transistors and a die size of 109mm², enabling incredible power efficiency. To help with performance, Xiaomi has taken a different approach with the SoC’s cluster, and adopted 10 cores instead of the more common 8-core one to deliver impressive single-core and multi-core performance. Interestingly enough, the last two cores belong to the Cortex-A520, with six Cortex-A725, and lastly, two Cortex-X925 cores clocked in at 3.90GHz.
Xiaomi also has a binned version of the XRING 01 that powers the Pad 7 Ultra tablet, and even though it sports downgraded clock speeds, its Geekbench 6 results do not reflect those frequency changes. The in-house chipset also adopts the newest technology standards, ranging from LPDDR5T RAM support, Wi-Fi 7, UFS 4.1 storage, and USB 3.2 Gen 2. As for GPU performance, the XRING 01 relies on the 16-core ARM Immortalis-G925. So far, there are only two devices that will feature the in-house chipset, with the first one already mentioned above.
As for the second, the Xiaomi 15S Pro will become the first smartphone to feature the XRING 01, and we cannot wait to share what kind of results the new flagship will obtain. The company did not mention whether it would bring the SoC to other lineups. Fortunately, with the latest announcement, Xiaomi is on its way towards reducing its dependency on the likes of Qualcomm and MediaTek, though it will take a few years before the XRING range becomes widespread in the company’s product portfolio.
