Xiaomi has introduced its first in-house flagship chipset, the Xring O1, signaling a major step toward independence from Qualcomm. 

Built on a second-generation 3nm process, the 10-core chip features two Cortex-X925 cores at 3.9GHz and a 16-core Immortalis-G925 GPU—comparable to MediaTek’s and Qualcomm’s top offerings. 

Xiaomi claims an AnTuTu score exceeding three million, suggesting strong performance and efficiency. 

However, [independent tests showed a 13% lower result](https://wccftech.com/xiaomi-xring-01-antutu-results-13-percent-lower-than-previous-claims/?ref=theleftshift.com)—2,613,424\. In the same benchmark, both the Snapdragon 8 Elite and Dimensity 9400 outperformed it, raising concerns about real-world performance versus Xiaomi’s promotional claims.

The chip powers the new 15S Pro smartphone, a refined version of last year’s 15 Pro, now in a carbon fiber design, and the Pad 7 Ultra—a sleek 14-inch OLED tablet just 5.1mm thick with a 12,000mAh battery. 

Xiaomi also unveiled the Xring T1, a smartwatch chip with 4G capabilities, debuting in the new eSIM Watch S4\. 

These launches show Xiaomi’s broader ambitions to control its hardware ecosystem. 

However, recently, Xiaomi and Qualcomm have[ renewed their long-standing partnership](https://wccftech.com/xiaomi-xring-01-antutu-results-13-percent-lower-than-previous-claims/?ref=theleftshift.com), celebrating 15 years of collaboration in tech innovation. 

Under the new agreement, Xiaomi will continue to use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8-series chips in upcoming flagship smartphones across multiple generations. 

The alliance also extends to automotive, smart home, wearable, and AR/VR technologies.
