And there is not only a mobile chip, but also for watches: Xiaomi Passes de Qualcomm and develops an intelligent watch processor. A whole declaration of independence from the United States.
I steal it, I eat it, it is the maxim that currently prevails in Chinese industry. It is not surprising: with a war of prices and vetos which covers the savings, it is logical that manufacturers like Xiaomi wish just depend on themselves. He has just given another step on the way.

The fact that Xiaomi thinks that a parallel branch of Xring for his intelligent watches is a demonstration that he fully trusts his development capacity and that he will surely delegate in his own pantry with regard to the power of devices. Qualcomm improved in the latest generation with the jump to 4 Nm at the Snapdragon W5, A shock of 2022. Since then, the family has not renewed, a sign that for Qualcomm, portable devices are in the background.
Xiaomi did not give excessive details on the characteristics of this XRING T1, quite the opposite of the chip which rises the Xiaomi 15s Pro. This Watch processor is a SOC that includes a GPU for graphics, MoDem 4G LTE, a Maximum CPU speed of 500 MHz And a reduction in rest consumption, during calls (it is turned) and active. The data comes from the Xiaomi laboratory.

With hindsight, Xiaomi presented its first SOC for mobiles eight years ago in an accessible range, the Xiaomi 5C with The Arise. Now, help you with the best of Qualcomm and Apple.
