Xiaomi Xring Chip

In a move set to reverberate across the global technology landscape, Chinese tech titan Xiaomi has officially revealed its first high-end processor, the Xring 01. The powerful new chip is designed to compete directly with leading silicon, from industry giants like Qualcomm and Apple, marking a significant milestone that has garnered unusual public commendation from the Chinese government.

These are the chips used in mobile phones and other portable devices…

The unveiling of the Xring 01 signals a bold shift in technological power dynamics, a testament to years of intense development and a substantial financial commitment from the company. Lei Jun, Xiaomi’s founder and CEO, lauded the processor as "the fruit of four years of development," emphasizing that this is just the beginning of a much larger semiconductor endeavor.

The development of the Xring 01 was no small feat, involving over 2,500 engineers and an initial investment of around 3 billion $AU over four years. Xiaomi has also announced plans to inject an additional 10.5 billion $AU over the next decade, further solidifying its ambitious semiconductor strategy.

Making their own chips is a big deal and although existing partnerships are currently stable, this may change as the USA changes things to be more inwardly facing.
