Emir BardakçıSo far, 2024 has been an exciting year for Xiaomi, as it is reportedly set to launch a new phone powered by its custom-designed processor. After launching the Surge S1 processor in previous years, Xiaomi is now working on a more powerful and efficient chip. According to leaks, this new processor will be called “XRING” In this article, we shall look at what we know about Xiaomi’s upcoming processor, its features, and the leaked information surrounding it.
XRING will be name of new processor of Xiaomi
The codename for the Surge S2 processor will be “XRING” This is the first leakage of such a name, back in early 2024, where “RING” was associated with the new chip. The “XRING” is said to mean a “ring with an X” and reportedly reflects a CPU design that comes in the shape of a ring. That means the Surge S2 processor will wed the latest technology with fashionably good looks to make it a statement piece identifying Xiaomi’s commitment to performance and aesthetics.
Xiaomi XRING’s Modem: A MediaTek Partnership
Another important information is the modem that will be paired with the Xiaomi XRING processor. Some our findings in Mi Code suggest that the XRING processor will be paired with a MediaTek modem. MediaTek is one of the well-known modem makers, known for its high-speed internet connectivity along with power-efficient solutions. This collaboration will ensure that the Surge S2 processor offers fast 5G speeds and superior Wi-Fi connectivity, crucial for a modern smartphone experience.
The Mi Code showed that the XRING device would be connected to a group of devices with MediaTek modems, further confirming the use of MediaTek’s modem technology in the XRING processor. This deal should bring better internet speeds and power consumption to the next Xiaomi devices.
Features of XRING: Powerful Performance
According to leaks from other sources, the Surge S2 processor from Xiaomi, or XRING for short, will be a powerfully performing and highly energy-efficient processor. It will boast the following technical specifications:
- 1x Cortex-X3 Core: Most powerful core for high-performance tasks and power-hungry applications.
- 3x Cortex-A715 Cores: These mid-tier cores maintain multi-tasking and smoothly run almost all application tasks.
- 4x Cortex-A510 Cores: Low-power cores are another contributor to power efficiency, enabling the device to work without consuming much battery.
- IMG CXT 48-1536 GPU: This chip is powerful to offer superior graphics execution, hence appropriate for gaming and any other multimedia presentations.
That sounds enticing, considering combining the cores and a better GPU, surely the XRING would be a nice performer in regard to gaming and ran smoothly with other major applications. A processor that, according to company records, will drive flagship phones released by Xiaomi.
Another Leak: Android Source Code
Additionally, today, a screenshot shared on COOLAPK revealed that a Chinese user discovered special code entries for XRING in Xiaomi’s Android source code. This further confirms the presence and development of the XRING processor.
