Chinese technological gigan Xiaomi Over the next 10 years, at least 50 billion yuan ($ 6.9 billion) is contributed to develop its own chips, CEO Lei Zhong said on Monday.
This is the last step of a Chinese firm to double the technology grown at home amid a permanent trade war between the US and China, which saw Washington cut access to some semicircles for companies in the second largest economy in the world.
50 billion investments in the yuan begins in 2025, confirmed by the Xiaomi press. Lei added that the company is seeking to do at the event on Thursday, when it removes the wraps from the Xring O1-called system on the chip, which will set up the upcoming Xiaomi smartphone.
Xring O1 is based on the production process of 3 nanometers, one of the most advanced in the market. For comparison, the A18 Pro IPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max Max is built in the same process.
CPP system, or SoC, is a semiconductor type that contains different components that help run the device, such as smartphone. This may include details such as memory and wireless connection.
So far the US firm Qualcomm He was the main SOCS supplier for Xiaomi flagship smartphones through his semiconductor Snapdragon.
On Thursday, Xiaomi is expected to launch a new smartphone and tablet as well as an electric car. It is unclear which devices will contain the new Xring O1.
Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon said on Monday CNBC that the last step Xiaomi is not expected to influence his business.
“We remain a strategic supplier of chips for Xiaomi, and most importantly, I think the Qualcomm Snapdragon chips are used in the Xiaomi flagships and will continue to be used in the Xiaomi flagships,” said Amon CNBC.
Very few smartphones are developing their own SoC on the world, given the costs and complexity of the process. AppleSamsung and Huawei – one of the few players who launched their own chips. Many other suppliers are counting on companies such as Qualcomm and Mediatek.
But the great advantage of self -developed chips is the ability to integrate more carefully equipment and software to offer differentiated experience from competitors.
Xring O1 is not the first SoC Xiaomi by releasing S1 in 2017. Lei said that for various reasons and failures of the study and the development of SoC were suspended. Xiaomi launched other types of semiconductors such as for better control or visualization, but Xring O1 mark the company’s return to the main component of the smartphone.
