BEIJING, May 22 (Xinhua) -- 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 an R&D team of over 2,500 people.
According to Lei, Xiaomi plans to invest 200 billion yuan in key-technology R&D over the next five years, including operating systems, artificial intelligence, and chips.
