- Xiaomi has revealed that its next chipset is 3 nm
- That should put it in competition with the best smartphone chips of Apple and Qualcomm
- This chipset is completely presented on Thursday.
At this time, the most important names in smartphone chips are Apple, Qualcomm and Mediatek, and these are the only three companies that have so far made smartphones of smartphones using a 3NM process (nanometer). But now Xiaomi is about to announce a 3 Nm chipset this week.
Publishing in Weibo (through Technode), the Xiaomi CEO has revealed that its Xring 01 chipset will be completely presented on Thursday and that, excitingly, it uses a 3NM process.
As a general rule, the smaller the number there, the more powerful the chipset is, and being 3nm should put the Xring 01 in competition with the tastes of the A18 Pro series promoting the iPhone 16 Pro series and the Snapdragon 8 Elite that feeds the Samsung Galaxy S25 line. In short, this should be an extremely powerful chipset.
Of course, we will not know exactly how powerful we have put it to the trial, but the first reference points seen by Leaker @universeice suggest that they could give a career to the previous chips for their money.
An affordable alternative
That could be a big problem, since it could allow Xiaomi to equip their phones more affordable with high -end chips sets, and there is the possibility that these savings are transmitted to consumers.
In the unlikely case that Xrring 01 surpasses Snapdragon 8 Elite, then it would also be the most powerful chipset available for Android phones, and if Xiaomi keeps it exclusive to its own phones, then that could give the company a real advantage.
Of course, even if it really is as powerful as the reference points suggest, it can have problems, such as not being too efficient in energy. But anyway, Xiaomi is the first continental Chinese company to reach the 3NM reference point is still a remarkable time for smartphones.
We should have a clearer idea of its real abilities on Thursday, when Xiaomi completely details the chipset, and an even clearer idea once we have tried it for ourselves.
