Emir BardakçıXiaomi has officially submitted a trademark application for “XRING O2” on June 5, 2025, with China’s State Intellectual Property Office. Currently, the trademark is pending substantive review, indicating Xiaomi’s clear commitment to strengthening its in-house semiconductor strategy. This move follows the debut of the XRING O1 chip earlier this year, underlining Xiaomi’s ambition to be a serious player in chipset innovation.
XRING O2 Trademark: Strategic Implications
By securing the “XRING O2” designation through the China Trademark Network, Xiaomi is laying the groundwork for the successor to its current flagship processor. Trademark approvals in China typically require several months, which suggests that development for the O2 chip has been in the planning stages for some time. This proactive approach highlights Xiaomi’s willingness to invest heavily in R&D and stay ahead in the fiercely competitive mobile processor space.
Such timing is consistent with industry cycles, where leading chipmakers usually operate two to three years ahead of product releases.
XRING O1: Technical Overview
Xiaomi’s XRING O1 chip boasts 19 billion transistors and is manufactured using advanced 3nm process technology. The processor has a compact 109mm² footprint and utilizes a ten-core quad-cluster CPU design—featuring dual super cores, four performance cores, two energy-efficient cores, and two super energy-efficient cores.
Performance benchmarks for the XRING O1 are competitive:
- Super core frequency reaches 3.9GHz
- Single-core scores surpass 3,000 points
- Multi-core performance exceeds 9,500 points
- Improved power efficiency compared to market rivals
Graphics and Processing Innovation
The XRING O1 is equipped with the Immortalis-G925 16-core GPU, leveraging dynamic performance scheduling. This configuration delivers superior graphics performance relative to Apple’s A18 Pro, while maintaining lower energy consumption. A dedicated micro-control unit enables hardware-level scheduling with delays as low as 2ms—a significant benefit for users demanding fast, responsive multitasking, particularly on tablets.
The XRING O2 trademark filing suggests Xiaomi intends to raise the bar even further in these areas.
