Xiaomi returns to the semiconductor stage with the processor X-RING 01, a chip designed in-house and manufactured by TSMC that aims straight for the pinnacle of mobile performance. The debut on flagship smartphone, tablet and smartwatch is not just a declaration of intent: it is a precise and calculated technical step. Here are all the data that Xiaomi has disclosed today on the occasion of the official presentation.
Xiaomi XRING 01 Official: Specs and Devices That Will Use It
After years of silence in the proprietary chip space (the last The unsuccessful attempt was the Surge C1) Xiaomi relaunches with a much more ambitious project. XRING 01 was born from the 3 nanometer node second-generation processor from TSMC, the same one used for chips like the Snapdragon 8 Elite, but with an architectural configuration that distances itself from the most popular models.
Ten cores, distributed in heterogeneous clusters, draw the map of this SoC: two Cortex-X925 at 3,9 GHz for heavier operations, six Cortex-A725 (four at 3,4 GHz, two at 1,9 GHz) for intermediate loads and two Cortex-A520 at 1,8 GHz for low-power tasks. The Immortalis G925 GPU from ARM, closes the circle with a vocation explicitly oriented towards gaming and high-intensity graphics processing.
The numbers are impressive: over 3 million points on AnTuTu, beating the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite. But is it really just a matter of benchmarks? Not really. Xiaomi claims that The chip beats the Apple A18 Pro not only in power, but also in energy efficiency. If these data were confirmed in real use, we would be faced with a non-trivial change of pace in the mobile SoC landscape.
On which devices is Xiaomi XRING 01 compatible?
The chip debuts on three key devices: the xiaomi 15s pro, the Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra and Xiaomi Watch S4 XringThe first introduces a 6.100 mAh battery, the largest ever seen on a flagship of the company, accompanied by a 2-inch 6,73K AMOLED display and a triple Leica camera of 50 megapixels each.
The tablet, with the same XRING 01 chip, features a 14" AMOLED display in 3,2K has always been monstrous 12.000mAh battery, with refill at 120 W. Here Xiaomi is aiming straight at the iPad Pro M4 and Samsung's Galaxy Tabs. And it does so in no uncertain terms: power, battery life, and a panel that screams "premium" at every pixel. An in-depth look you can find it in this article.
And then there's the unreleased Xiaomi Watch S4 XRING. The company's first smartwatch to feature a proprietary chip for smartwatches, the XRING T1. Few details on the architecture, but all the functions are there: screen 1,43 "AMOLED, blood oxygen sensors, 4G modem with eSIM e Integrated GPS.
