The blogger said that Xiaomi is currently in contact with TSMC and the mobile phone market will be very lively next year

On October 16th, Mobile China noticed that a digital blogger had posted that the mobile phone market would be very lively next year, and Xiaomi is currently in contact with TSMC. The blogger also stated that he hopes Huawei can go further. The blogger did not specify the purpose of Xiaomi's contact with TSMC. However, based on current information, it seems that it is related to self-developed chips and needs to be outsourced to TSMC.

In the fierce competition in the technology industry, independently developing chips is an important symbol for a company to establish a foothold in the industry. It is understood that Xiaomi's first self-developed SoC chip was named the Pengpai S1 and was released in February 2017. The Pengpai S1 adopts an 8-core 64 bit architecture, with a main frequency of 2.2GHz, and uses a Mali-T860GPU. After the surging S1, there was news that the surging S2 failed to chip several times, and later Xiaomi never released its self-developed Soc chip. In 2021, Pengpai returned, but the Pengpai C1 chip launched at this time is an ISP imaging chip. Afterwards, Xiaomi launched the surging P1/P2 fast charging chip and the surging G1 power management chip.

The development of Xiaomi's self-developed chips is an important part of Xiaomi's strategic transformation. By independently developing chips, Xiaomi can seek competitive advantages in the market competition of hardware homogenization, improve the competitiveness and user experience of terminal products. However, the path of self-developed chips is not easy and requires continuous investment and technological accumulation.

It is worth mentioning that a screenshot of the system interface displayed as "MIOS" has been circulating online recently, so many people speculate that the system is the name of Xiaomi's self-developed system. However, the latest revelation shows that Xiaomi's self-developed system will not be named after "MIOS". At present, it can be confirmed that Xiaomi's self-developed chip series is called "Pineapple" and is related to Xiaomi's self-developed system.
