Xiaomi, one of the most popular brands in Spain, is very close to taking a giant step in its ambitions, with the launch of Your own smartphones processor, called “Xring”. In this way, the Chinese company would be close to abandoning the Snapdragon and Mediatek processors, at least partially.
It is no secret that Xiaomi wants to follow Apple’s path; Not surprisingly, Lei Jun has always proclaimed himself as a fan of the apple company and Steve Jobs, and thus explain some of his most risky decisions, such as Xiaomi’s car. In the same way, Xiaomi wants to stop being dependent on other brands for their star products, smartphones, and for this, it has been developing their own soc (System-on-Chip) for years.
The Xiaomi path in Chips’s own design has already started with S1, a processor used for the first time in the Xiaomi Mi 5C in 2017; However, at that time the company was not in the same situation as now, and the S1 was, said softly, A failure without successor and without major consequences in the sector. Now, Xiaomi will try again, in a very different context.
As Fixed Focus Digital has leaked in the Weibo Social Network (Via Wccftech), the new Xiaomi processor It will arrive at the end of this month of Mayand therefore, the launch of the first smartphone that uses it is very close. The new processor would have received the name of “Xring”, although it is not clear if it is a key name of internal use or if it will be known commercially, and will be presented as of May 20. The new Xiaomi 15S Pro would be the first mobile based on the Xring.
There are many things that are not known about this new processor, since Xiaomi has given few clues that he was developing it. In an interview with El Español, Daniel Desjarlais, director of Communication and Public Relations of Xiaomi International, dropped that We had to “be attentive” Regarding a possible announcement of a socio of Xiaomi. That has not prevented many rumors with the new chip, although they are very varied and their reliability is doubtful.
According to another filtration published by the same user in Weibo, the Xring would be based on the 4NM N4P process of TSMC, although there is also the possibility that it is based on a new 3NM process; The latter is the least likely and would be the most surprising, taking into account the leap in production costs and the low rate of viable units in each wafer. But at the same time, it can be the best long -term option, especially to dodge the commercial war between the US and China and the high tariffs and possible commercial blockages such as the one that Huawei is suffering.
Technical, Xring would not be a 100% own Xiaomi design, but would use the latest version of the official Cortex, the Cortex-X925 capable of reaching 3.20 GHz. The option of designing its own nuclei, as Qualcomm did with the Snapdragon 8 Elite and its Oryon centers, requires an experience and an investment that Xiaomi could not obtain.
