News Xiaomi's in-house XRing 01 SoC leaked — melds 10-core Arm Cortex CPU plus 16-core Mali G925 GPU

[Admin]

Xiaomi's custom XRing 01 chip is allegedly a 10-core powerhouse, rivaling the likes of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite and MediaTek's Dimsensity 9400.

Anyone else find it hilarious that Xiaomi and Huaweii have been able to produce custom SOCs with flagship levels of performance seemingly quickly (and possibly by IP theft) while Samsung has flailed for the better part of two decades and still has a cringeworthy Exynos chipset?

It's not confirmed, but the SoC seems to be all ARM.
Another outlet suggests it's CPU is 2x Cortex-925, 2x Cortex-A520. Not sure what the other 6x cores are.
The GPU is an Immortalis-G925 MC16
Huawei has an ARM license, so IDK about the IP theft part.
One thing we have no idea about is power consumption. The XRing 01 is supposed to debut in a 6.7" phone and 14" tablet. I can see the latter having better thermals and less throttling, but unsure of the former.

As for Samsung, they failed at pretty much everything recently.
Missed the AI boat. Trailing with HBM. Worse than Intel at shrinking nodes. Couldn't figure out SSD firmware.
The only parts that were doing okay were displays and DRAM.
As a result, they've had leadership restructuring, so it's unlikely they'll have anything decent for a while longer.

Not really. Samesung are a bit of a joke these days. I wouldn't even buy one of their ssd's now. As for Crapnyos, they still keep flogging a dead horse and now it's coming back for S26 series in the E2600.

actually I fin the unknown core x6 a more plausible idea than what the article suggests. I went back and read the launch description of X725 and I cannot think of any reason why anyone would use X725+X720 in the same CPU cluster. X725 seems to be a straight update over X720 with the added problem that the CSS interconnect supports X925+X725+X520 so X720 will have to be backported.

Exynos embarrassed? What kind of Exynos / soc hilisicon kirin has produced 4 or 3nm fabrication. Samsung exynos W1000 has been produced 3nm fabrication.

Samsung joke/it is impossible for Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 for Galaxy and Nvidia to be interested in using Samsung's 2nm fabrication (their yield is around 40 and 50% of 2nm fabrication/ their target for Exynos 2600 yield must be 70 and 80%) although we don't know yet whether Exynos 2600 uses the latest custom ARM X series CPU and we don't know whether the GPU uses AMD RDNA 4 or AMD RDNA 5. The performance of Exynos 2600 is at most below SD 8 Elite if for example SD 8 Elite Gen 2 has not been achieved for its performance.

Belum dikonfirmasi, tetapi SoC tampaknya sepenuhnya ARM.
Outlet lain menyatakan CPU-nya adalah 2x Cortex-925, 2x Cortex-A520. Tidak yakin apa 6x core lainnya.
GPU-nya adalah Immortalis-G925 MC16
Huawei memiliki lisensi ARM, jadi saya tidak tahu soal bagian pencurian IP.
Satu hal yang belum kami ketahui adalah konsumsi daya. XRing 01 seharusnya akan hadir di ponsel 6,7" dan tablet 14". Saya melihat yang terakhir memiliki termal yang lebih baik dan lebih sedikit pelambatan, tetapi tidak yakin dengan yang pertama.

Adapun Samsung, mereka gagal dalam hampir semua hal baru-baru ini.
Ketinggalan AI. Tertinggal dengan HBM. Lebih buruk dari Intel dalam menyusutkan node. Tidak dapat memahami firmware SSD.
Satu-satunya bagian yang berfungsi dengan baik adalah layar dan DRAM.
Akibatnya, mereka mengalami restrukturisasi kepemimpinan, jadi kecil kemungkinan mereka akan memiliki sesuatu yang layak untuk waktu yang lama.

what do you mean bro? (still semiconductor companies have to burn crazy money for semiconductor technology to continue to develop/ if TSMC has no competitors from Samsung Foundry, TSMC is only a single semiconductor player. if Intel Semiconductor gives up first, they will develop their semiconductors to compete closely with TSMC)

It's all laid out there bro.

It's all laid out there bro.

has it been explained bro/ 5nm smic fabrication, just ready to be used by huawei hilisicon kirin 9030. don't know what the final version of the xiaomi xring 01 soc software is like. (there was news that xiaomi had succeeded in making 3nm fabrication hardware/ it didn't get released to the public) just waiting for the release of the xiaomi 15s pro and xiaomi pad 7 ultra devices on may 22, 2025 if I remember correctly. specifically for the china market only.

 

[ahmad1290]

It's all laid out there bro.

Samsung developed 4f2 and 6f2 dram if I remember correctly. using 1.4nm fabrication based on high na euv. same as 3D dram. (samsung 9100 pro memory/ aja cpu uses arm cortex M5 or R5 if I remember correctly)
