Xiaomi unveils self-developed 3-nanometer mobile chip

Chinese tech firm Xiaomi officially released its first self-developed 3-nanometer mobile chip, Xring O1, in Beijing on Thursday evening.

The chip features a 10-core CPU and a 16-core GPU to provide an improved user experience, Lei Jun, founder and chairman of Xiaomi, said at the launch event.

Experts say the Xring O1 chip marks a major breakthrough in Xiaomi's chip development and design capabilities.

The chip has entered mass production and been integrated into the company's latest flagship products -- the Xiaomi 15S Pro smartphone and the Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra tablet.

Xiaomi's research and development for the Xring O1 chip has spanned a decade. Since 2021, the company has invested more than 13 billion yuan (about 1.8 billion U.S. dollars) in the project, involving a research and develop team of over 2,500 people.

According to Lei, Xiaomi plans to invest 200 billion yuan in key-technology R and D over the next five years, including operating systems, artificial intelligence, and chips.

A total of 22,810 commercial units, 322 health and medical centers, 18 scientific and academic institutions, and 20 Red Crescent facilities have been damaged, IRCS President Pirhossein Kolivand said on Saturday.

Emergency response equipment, including three helicopters, 46 ambulances, and 48 operational vehicles, was also affected, he added.

According to Kolivand, four Red Crescent responders and two pregnant women have been killed in U.S.-Israeli attacks, with 18 emergency personnel injured.

He noted that 24 medical workers have been killed and 116 others injured.

The United States and Israel have also targeted Khuzestan petrochemical facilities, the Shalamcheh border trade terminal, Shahid Beheshti University science labs, and residential homes, the Red Crescent official said.

On Feb 28, Israel and the United States launched joint attacks on Tehran and several other Iranian cities, killing Iran's former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, along with senior military commanders and civilians. Iran has responded by launching waves of missile and drone strikes targeting Israel and U.S. bases and assets in the Middle East.
