New information has come to light about Xiaomi's upcoming processor, which is expected to be called XRING O3
The new information comes from internal data (My Code) in the ROM code, revealing significant changes in the design and performance of the chip.
New architecture with 3 CPU clusters
Unlike its predecessor (the XRING O1) which used a four-cluster, 10-core CPU layout, the XRING O3 appears to take a more simplified approach.
The new design is based on:
- Prime cores (high-performance cores)
- Titanium cores (strong cores for heavy duty work)
- Little cores (optimized cores for efficiency)
It is noteworthy that Xiaomi is reportedly completely eliminating the “Big” cluster”, choosing a more efficient and balanced architecture.
Significant increase in frequencies
The leaks reveal impressive timing performance:
- Prime core: up to 4.05GHz
- Titanium cores: about 3.42GHz
- Little cores: up to 3.02GHz
Particularly impressive is the fact that the so-called "small" cores are now reaching performance levels that previously belonged to medium or even more powerful cores.
Several improvements to the GPU as well
In the field of graphics, the GPU is expected to reach 1.5GHz, a significant increase over the ~1.2GHz of the previous generation. This translates into better performance in both gaming and rendering.
Memory speed, however, seems to remain at 9600 MT / s, without changes compared to XRING O1.
Improved multitasking and efficiency
Thanks to the new structure, the XRING O3 is expected to offer:
- better background app management
- higher energy efficiency
- improved multitasking experience
This is especially important for devices with large screens, such as foldables, where many apps are running simultaneously.
Possible debut on a foldable device
According to the same information, the XRING O3 may make its first appearance in a new foldable device from Xiaomi, most likely the Mix Fold 5 (or the Xiaomi 17 Fold if it is released under that name), which is already in development.
That's it XRING O3 SoC Xiaomi's seems to be a big step for Xiaomi in the field of custom processors, with the company clearly showing that it is aiming for high performance and better control of its hardware.
If the leaks are confirmed, Xiaomi could move even closer to the top chip makers, strengthening its independence from third-party suppliers. But what it will have to incorporate in the future is its own 5G Modem, as it appears that it will continue to use hybrid solutions from third-party Modem manufacturers.
