Xiaomi has announced three in-house chipsets, led by the Xring O3 processor built on a 3nm process with a 10-core CPU and 16-core GPU. The company claims the chip scored 52.2 lakh points on the AnTuTu benchmark, making it the first mobile SoC to cross the 50 lakh mark.
The Xring O3 will first appear in the Xiaomi 18 Fold and Pad 9 Pro Max, set for launch in September. Xiaomi says the chip delivers 60% better CPU performance and 85% improved graphics performance, along with 64% better power efficiency.
Other chips unveiled include the AI-focused Xring O100 and the Xring D100 for intelligent driving. The Xring O3 supports LPDDR6 memory and offers up to 200 TOPS of tensor performance. Xiaomi said it took 459 days to develop the chip.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Xiaomi is entering a segment dominated by Qualcomm and MediaTek, where even Samsung's Exynos has struggled to match peak performance. The claimed AnTuTu score of 52.2 lakh is far above the current Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 range of about 20 lakh, so independent verification will be critical. Xiaomi's push into custom silicon reduces its dependency on external suppliers and could improve margins on its premium devices. The real test will be real-world performance and thermal management, which benchmarks do not capture. The September launch of the 18 Fold will be the first public verdict.
