Essential Information
- Xiaomi is set to unveil its proprietary XRing 01 chipset on May 22nd, with an initial launch in China.
- Leaked Geekbench results indicate that the XRing 01 will deliver performance similar to the Snapdragon 8 Elite.
- This chipset is expected to be a deca-core design, powering the upcoming Xiaomi 15S Pro, which will run Android 15.
Xiaomi is preparing to launch its latest in-house silicon processer called the XRing 01. Recent leaks and benchmarks provide insights into the capabilities of this upcoming chipset.
The XRing 01 is currently expected to remain exclusive to China and will be revealed at a launch event on May 22. Promotional materials on Weibo suggest that it is built on advanced 3nm technology (2nd generation). Leaked benchmarks indicate it could be a formidable competitor to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite, which powers many flagship Android devices this year.

According to tipster Jukanlosreve on X (via Tom’s Hardware), the XRing 01 has been tested on Geekbench, yielding impressive scores of 2709 in single-core performance and 8125 in multi-core. Additionally, another tipster, Ice Universe, reported even higher scores of 3017 for single-core and 9264 for multi-core, which is quite promising for an unreleased SoC.
The benchmark results suggest that the XRing 01 is being tested on a phone running Android 15, likely the Xiaomi 15S Pro, which is also expected to be announced at the same event alongside the Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra.
Interestingly, the Geekbench tests reveal a unique deca-core architecture comprising two cores clocked at 1.80GHz, another two at 1.89GHz, four cores running at 3.40GHz, and two additional cores clocked at 3.90GHz.
The higher-clocked cores are likely the two Cortex-X925 cores, while the four cores at 3.40GHz are presumed to be Cortex A725/X4 cores. The 1.89GHz cores are likely Cortex A720/A725, and the first two are expected to be Cortex A520 cores.
Given its configuration and benchmark performance, the XRing 01, alongside the Snapdragon 8 Elite, is likely to compete with Dimensity 9400 and Exynos 2400 SoCs as well. The promising specifications come as no surprise, considering Xiaomi’s four years of investment in research and development for this SoC. This positions Xiaomi among competitors like Huawei, Apple, and Google, all of which have developed their in-house chipsets for flagship devices.
