Xiaomi's homegrown chip has more powerful specs on Geekbench as it rivals Snapdragon 8 Elite AP
Earlier this month Xiaomi unveiled its latest homegrown application processor (AP), the XRING 01. The SoC is built on TSMC's second-generation 3nm process node (N3B), recently scored an impressive 3,004,137 score on the AnTuTu benchmark app. That resulted in a close battle among APs used by Android phones between the XRING 01, MediaTek's Dimensity 9400+, and the Snapdragon 8 Elite. The XRING 01 is being used to power the Xiaomi 15S Pro and the Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra and is equipped with a decacore configuration which includes: 2x Cortex-X925 CPU prime cores running at a maximum clock speed of 3.9GHz. 4x Cortex-A725 CPU performance cores running at a maximum clock speed of 3.4GHz. 2x Cortex-A725 CPU performance-efficiency cores running at a maximum clock speed of 1.9GHz. 2x Cortex-A520 CPU efficiency cores running at a maximum clock speed of 1.8GHz. The XRING 01 features a 16-core Arm Immortalis-G925 GPU and produced 2,709 and 8,125 single-core and multi-core scores respectively on the Geekbench 6 app. The AP was powering the Xiaomi 15S Pro during the test. That compares to the numbers put up by the Snapdragon 8 Elite driving the Xiaomi 15 Pro which were 2919 (single-core) and 8,699 (multi-core). The multi-core score for the XRING 01 shows that it is only 7% slower than Qualcomm's current flagship AP.

Xiaomi debuts XRING 01 chip to rival Snapdragon 8 Elite and Dimensity 9400
Chinese smartphone company Xiaomi has revealed XRING 01, its first-ever in-house design chipset for mobile devices. The company's new chipset features a deca-core CPU accompanied by an ARM Immortalis-G925 MC16 GPU. While the Dimensity 9400, MediaTek's fastest chipset that competes against the Snapdragon 8 Elite, has the same GPU, the Xiaomi XRING 01 has 16 shader cores compared to 12 on MediaTek. Built in TSMC's 3nm N3E process, Xiaomi claimed that its new custom processor obtained an AnTuTu score of around 30 million, but a new report by Wccftech says that the actual score is somewhere around 26 million, which means it is slightly slower than the Snapdragon 8 Elite and the Dimensity 9400. On the CPU front, the XRING 01 beats the Dimensity 9400 but falls short of matching the Snapdragon 8 Elite. Also, unlike the newest MediaTek and Qualcomm flagship chipsets, Xiaomi's new chip packs an external modem. Taking of the GPU, the slightly weaker Dimensity 9400 GPU comes close to the Snapdragon 8 Elite, but we will have to see if the XRING 01's graphics capabilities can surpass Qualcomm's latest flagship chipset. For those wondering, Xiaomi just announced that the first devices to be powered by the XRING 01 chipset are the Xiaomi 15S Pro smartphone and the Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra, both of which are currently only available in China. This means that we will have to wait and see if these devices find their way to the global market or if the Snapdragon 8 Elite competitor stays China exclusive. The XRING 01 may not be impressive at first, but considering this is Xiaomi's in-house designed chip, it will be interesting to see if the company plans to design more or if this was a one-off thing. Also, AnTuTu tests are more than just the chipset, meaning other components might also affect the final score. Still, this is a huge step by Xiaomi in the right direction.

This new chip took everyone by surprise, but you'll have to hold your horses on availability
Xiaomi announced the XRING 01 smartphone processor yesterday, which is the company's first custom smartphone chipset in years. The processor looks like an absolute beast, but there's bad news if you want to buy a phone with this chip. Xiaomi confirmed to Android Authority that it 'currently' doesn't have plans to launch devices with XRING chips outside China: Regarding the Xiaomi XRING chipset, Xiaomi currently does not have plans to introduce Xiaomi XRING chips to the international market. That's a real shame, as the XRING 01 looks like an extremely powerful chipset on paper. The processor has a deca-core CPU, featuring two powerful Cortex-X925 cores clocked at 3.9GHz, as well as an Arm Immortalis-G925 MC16 GPU that could be more than a match for the Snapdragon 8 Elite and MediaTek Dimensity 9400. The processor also has a modern MediaTek T800 modem.

Xiaomi's new smartphone chip is here, and this one could be a Tensor beater
TL;DR Xiaomi has fully revealed the XRING 01, which is its first custom smartphone processor in several years. The new chipset has a powerful deca-core CPU and a cutting-edge Arm Immortalis-G925 MC16 GPU. The first devices with the XRING 01 are the Xiaomi 15s Pro smartphone and the Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra tablet. Xiaomi confirmed last week that it would announce a new custom smartphone chipset. Now, the day has arrived, and the company has fully revealed the XRING 01 processor. It turns out that this is a monster of a chipset, starting with the deca-core CPU. Xiaomi's processor sports two Cortex-X925 CPU cores clocked at 3.9GHz, four Cortex-A725 cores running at 3.4GHz, two Cortex-A725 cores at 1.9GHz, and two Cortex-A520 cores clocked at 1.8GHz. The two big cores are fed by 2MB of L2 cache each, the Cortex-A725 cores pack 1MB of L2 cache each, while the two little cores share 512KB of L2 cache. This makes for an impressive layout compared to the MediaTek Dimensity 9400, which offers one Cortex-X925 core, three older Cortex-X4 cores, and four older Cortex-A720 cores. We're not expecting the Xiaomi XRING 01 to beat the Snapdragon 8 Elite in single-core performance based on these specs, but it certainly looks like the chip could be a stiff challenge in multi-core benchmarks owing to the deca-core design Xiaomi's custom processor also features an impressive GPU on paper, namely an Arm Immortalis-G925 MC16 GPU. By contrast, the Dimensity 9400 has the same GPU but with 12 shader cores instead of 16. There's no word on the Xiaomi chip's GPU clock speed and other graphical capabilities yet, so it's too soon to definitively conclude that Xiaomi's chip will offer better GPU performance. For what it's worth, we tested the MediaTek chip and thought it was competitive with the Snapdragon 8 Elite during GPU benchmarks while running cooler. Otherwise, the processor is built on TSMC's second-generation 3nm manufacturing process. Xiaomi says the processor has a 'fourth-generation' imaging chip that enables improved low-light image quality and 4K night video. There's no word on other components like the modem and machine learning silicon, though. The first devices running the XRING 01 are the Xiaomi 15s Pro smartphone and the Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra, which both launched in China today. We'll have to get our hands on the Xiaomi 15s Pro to find out if the processor can hang with Qualcomm and MediaTek's best chips. However, it certainly looks like the XRING 01 handily beats Google's Tensor chips given the much newer CPU, GPU, and manufacturing process. Got a tip? Talk to us!
