Xiaomi has made a second attempt to release its own processor. The first attempt was back in 2017, the Xiaomi Mi 5c smartphone used Xiaomi's own SoC Surge S1. In May, the company released a new XRING 01 processor , which in some synthetic tests turned out to be more powerful than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. It is used in the Xiaomi 15S Pro smartphone, as well as the Xiaomi Pad 7S Pro 12.5, Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra tablets. Sources report that Xiaomi is already working on the new XRING O2. The processor is expected to be used in smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, and the company's cars.
The XRING O2 is expected to be manufactured by TSMC using the 3nm N3E process. The previous XRING 01 was also manufactured by TSMC, but using the 4nm process. Future flagship processors from Qualcomm, MediaTek, and Apple will also be manufactured using the N3E process. Details on the processor configuration and operating frequencies are currently unavailable, as is the official announcement date.
